Australian Survivor 2022‘s Sophie Cachia has officially hard-launched her new girlfriend, AFLW player Sophie Van De Heuvel, on Instagram after months of keeping their romance on the DL.

ICYMI: So Dramatic! previously revealed the two Sophies were dating after being spotted at a Sam Smith concert in January. Then, a leaked BeReal snap seemingly confirmed the pairing.

Then, another footballer shared a series of snaps online, in which Sophie C kissed Sophie VDH on the cheek.

Now, Sophie C has taken things into her own hands, sharing a photo of her and her new bae at a recent FIFA Women’s World Cup match on July 31.

Taking to her Insta Story, the 32-year-old and 22-year-old posed for a selfie while watching the Matildas (whom Sophie C’s ex, Alanna Kennedy, plays for) with Sophie C’s kids, Bobby and Florence.

So, we’ll take this as our sign things are going well for the pair!

The post comes after a friend of Sophie VDH’s ex, Elle, alleged in April that Sophie and Sophie’s romance got off to a deceitful start.

Claims emerged that Sophie Cachia was the other woman during Sophie Van De Heuvel‘s last relationship

Sharing the tea to Instagram gossipmonger InfluencerTea_Aus, the mate said: “Soph Cachia’s new gf Soph VDH cheated on her gf to be with Cachia.

“Soph VDH doesn’t like the image and doesn’t want to be public with Cachia and seems to still be playing both sides.” Welp, looks like she’s changed her tune!

They added that Sophie C was “manipulating” the young footy player “to go public”.

“[It’s] really sad.”

However, Sophie C quickly hit back at the “tea”.

Sliding into the comment section under the post, Sophie C said she was “taking” the account’s “bait”.

“I also understand you have a job to do & report on ‘tea’ – I acknowledge this is your platform and job and you have a right to do with that as you wish,” she wrote. “But I ask of you to do so truthfully.

“I can handle scrutiny & false things written about me – unfortunately I’m used to it and I’ll cop that.”

However, she asked the account to “be mindful of causing hurt” to other people and their families “with information that is not true”.

“I am NOT trying to be relevant in this scene – posts like this are what it is creating it,” she concluded.
