Rachael looked ethereal in the video, wearing a boho chic two-piece ensemble featuring a long skirt and a matching top tied at the front.

It comes after she opened up about her relationship with Evan in April.

She told The Sunday Telegraph her romance is ‘so beautiful and deep’ and Evan was an amazing presence in her children Addison, 13, and seven-year-old Gigi’s lives.

‘My relationship with Evan is something I’ve never had before,’ she said.

‘I feel so beyond lucky to have him in mine, Addi and Gigi’s lives. Evan is such an honest, loyal and kind soul and a really great father and partner.’

She also hinted they have ‘really exciting future plans happening together’.

Rachael added that she and Braith have been navigating the role of co-parenting their daughter Gigi.

‘Co-parenting comes with its ups and downs, and a lot of agreeing to disagree,’ she added. 

She previously said her romance is ‘so beautiful and deep’ and Evan was an amazing presence in her children Addison, 13, and seven-year-old Gigi’s lives

Rachael and Braith confirmed their split in November, 2022, following months of rumours 

Evan has been romantically involved with Rachael since the start of last year.

They reportedly met at Crown Plaza in Coogee over Christmas the year before and were photographed together in public for the first time in May 2024 celebrating her 36th birthday.

In 2023, Evan was extradited from Queensland following a sprawling 18-month investigation into alleged drug consignments intercepted by US authorities.

Police allege he was a ‘high-ranking member’ of the Maroubra-based Bra Boys surf gang.

Evan faced court on March 19, 2024, charged with knowingly directing the activities of a criminal group, knowingly dealing with proceeds of crime with intent to conceal and dealing with property worth more than $100,000, which was suspected to be the proceeds of a crime.

The first two charges were withdrawn on that date, and Evan pleaded not guilty to the third.

Evan has been subjected to strict bail conditions, including remaining on good behaviour, reporting to Maroubra police station between 8am and 8pm every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and not going within 500m of any point of international departure.

Rachael and Braith confirmed their split in November, 2022, following months of rumours. 

 One month later, Rachael debuted her romance with Blake Hillen, a bricklayer and amateur boxer from the Sutherland Shire.

However, a source told Daily Mail Australia in 2023 that Rachael and Blake were once ‘inseparable’, but were now off – with both unfollowing each other on Instagram, and she later found love with Evan.

Braith went on to date Evie Tziomakis, but a source confirmed they had parted ways in June, 2024.
