Crichton, who has been a key figure for the Bulldogs both on and off the field, has continued to maintain a professional focus on his football commitments amid the reports. Club officials have declined to comment, citing respect for player privacy.

Fans across social media have expressed a mix of shock and support, with many urging the public to respect the couple’s privacy during what is believed to be a difficult period for both parties.

As more information becomes available, updates will be provided. Until then, supporters are encouraged to avoid speculation and allow those involved the space to handle the matter away from the public eye.
