A wave of online speculation has surrounded Penrith Panthers forward Moses Leota and his long-term partner, Stella Funaki, following unverified claims about their relationship.
The allegations circulating online suggest that Funaki may have been involved with another person, but there is currently no credible public evidence confirming the claim, and neither Leota nor Funaki has been reliably reported as making such an announcement.
Leota and Funaki have been publicly linked for many years. In a 2020 profile published by NRL.com, Leota spoke about his family life and identified Stella as his partner, alongside their daughters Aiva and Aria.
The couple’s family life has generally remained away from the spotlight, with Leota frequently emphasizing the importance of his family throughout his rugby league career.
As the rumours continue to circulate across social media, supporters are being urged to distinguish between verified statements and unsubstantiated claims. Until either Leota, Funaki, or a reputable news organization provides confirmation, the alleged relationship controversy should be treated as unverified.
