When he was the biggest star in Australian rugby, Quade Cooper dated Olympic pool queen Stephanie Rice and former Miss Universe Australia Laura Dundovic.
But now the footy player has been spotted stepping out with a new companion who has found fame in a very different way.
Cooper and OnlyFans star Ambra Guiotto were pictured exclusively by Daily Mail Australia as they met the footballer’s good mate, NRL-star-turned-media-figure Beau Ryan, at Sydney‘s Bondi Beach last Friday.
The trio looked relaxed in each other’s company as they went for coffee in the ultra-trendy suburb, with Ryan and Guiotto sharing an embrace as they met.
Guiotto, 24, has almost 210,000 followers on Instagram and has amassed nearly 13,000 likes for her work on OnlyFans, where she bills herself as ‘all natural’ and sells subscriptions to her exclusive content for $10 a month.
Her racy Instagram pics often show her treading a fine line when it comes to the platform’s ban on nudity, or wearing barely there bikinis in a variety of exotic locations.

Guiotto’s appearance with Cooper comes after the former Wallabies gun dated glamorous, high-profile women while he was at the top of his game.
He famously dated swim queen Rice, living with the gold medal winner for about 18 months before their split became public just after Christmas in 2011.
The former couple shared Rice’s four-bedroom house in the upmarket Brisbane suburb of Paddington after they got together in July 2010.
Rice and Cooper were very public about their romance, often posting pictures of themselves spending time together as their relationship got quite serious.
‘I met her parents, who are both nice, and she’s met my whole, big family,’ Cooper said in October 2010.
Prior to that, Cooper dated bikini model and air hostess Ellie McLeod.
His next relationship with Amelia Gorrie ended in heartbreak for her after they spent two years together.
The former Lorna Jane model lived with Cooper in Brisbane before they went their separate ways in December 2015, with the footy star keeping the dog they shared.

She was reportedly left devastated when he began his next romance with Dundovic just two months later.
‘She is rebuilding her life. She has moved out of their home in Bulimba in Brisbane. She is living with her friends again in New Farm and is moving on,’ a source close to Gorrie said at the time.
‘That’s broken her heart but she can’t be around him.’
Cooper’s romance with Dundovic started when they met through a mutual friend and lasted five years before they parted ways in April 2020.
‘We had a long-distance relationship for a while when he was in Brisbane and I was in Sydney,’ Dundovic said in October 2019.
‘We’ve lived in Brisbane and survived a renovation together, moved to France for his sport, and now we’re in Melbourne.’
The pair shared the unique four-bedroom Brisbane home Cooper bought in 2015 when he was playing for the Queensland Reds. He sold it for $2.2million after their split.
The 37-year-old was also with Olympic pool queen Stephanie Rice for a year

Cooper and Dundovic were rumoured to have been ‘on and off’ in the months leading up to their break-up, which they confirmed by unfollowing each other on Instagram.
Asked about the possibility of marrying Cooper months beforehand, Dundovic had said, ‘I think when you’re older and [have] been with someone a long time, it’s not that it’s not a priority, it’s just that we’re really happy with how we are at the moment.’
Cooper’s appearance with Guiotto comes as his sporting career undergoes its biggest change in several years.
In April, the 37-year-old stunned rugby fans by revealing he had switched codes to flag football in a bid to represent Australia at the 2028 Olympics.
The non-contact version of gridiron will make its Games debut in Los Angeles and Cooper has posted several Instagram videos showing him training at quarterback, in addition to playing a game with the Aussie team as they took on Japan last month.
‘To be part of something that could potentially change the landscape for a lot of people in our country, all around the world, give them an avenue to play in a sport at the Olympics, is pretty special,’ he said.
And the New Zealand-born star isn’t looking to go it alone.

Cooper has a wishlist of elite athletes he hopes will join him, including NRL stars Reece Walsh and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, and cross-code talent Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii.
‘You look at guys like Reece Walsh, like the Hammer… the way they move, the way they’re able to accelerate, how dynamic they are,’ he said.
He hasn’t left rugby behind completely, however.
Last week, Cooper – who finished up with Japanese rugby side Kintetsu Liners earlier this year – took to X to offer his services to touch footy teams on the Gold Coast after returning to Australia.
‘If there’s any local touch rugby comps on the Gold Coast at the moment that need players? HMU [Hit me up],’ he wrote.
Footy fans were stoked that the Wallabies legend could potentially play on their team for free.
Cooper first rose to prominence as a talented scholarship student at Anglican Church Grammar School in Brisbane.
Cooper played in the ‘Churchie’ first XV in 2005 and 2006 and was quickly snapped up by the Queensland Reds after finishing high school.
Along with fellow young guns Kurtley Beale and James O’Connor, Cooper was viewed as an excitement machine at the time as the Wallabies looked to once again become a force in world rugby.
He also had his controversies over the years, the most notable of which was copping a $40,000 fine and three-match suspension for describing the Wallabies as a ‘toxic environment… destroying me as a player and a person’ in 2012.
Cooper was controversially overlooked by former Wallabies coach Eddie Jones in 2023, bringing an end to his stint with the national team.
