Glamorous WAG celebrates milestone birthday with McDonalds and caviar - but there is one very important person missing READ MORE: Elite footy WAGs rally around star's glamorous wife after an embarrassing scandal By KINTA WALSH-COTTON FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA Published: 01:40, 8 April 2025 | Updated: 01:40, 8 April 2025 e-mail View comments Advertisement AFL WAG Maddison Sullivan-Thorpe celebrated her milestone 30th birthday in style over the weekend, as she gorged on caviar and McDonalds burgers for the happy occasion. The podcaster put on a leggy display during her big day as she poured her figure into a very short black dress while partying the night away with her friends—but there was one notable face missing from the crowd. Former Western Bulldogs star Lachie Hunter did not make an appearance at the gathering, in what appeared to be a confirmation of his long rumoured split from childhood sweetheart Maddison after their wedding in 2022.
Maddison was all smiles during the celebration and didn't appear to have a care in the world as she sipped on lavish beverages without her engagement and wedding rings in sight. The glamorous marketing specialist paired her little black dress with a pair of towering pumps and a flashy diamond necklace as she cuddled up with her nearest and dearest. Slicking on a plump nude lip and several coats of mascara, Maddison took to the dinner table at one point, with some of her friends holding the furniture steady as she enjoyed a free spirited dance atop it.

They tied the knot a few years later in January 2022 at Barunah Plains in Hesse, Victoria, but it appears the couple were married for only a year before they quietly split. While neither have made official posts about their separation, speculation has run rife since Maddison stopped wearing her wedding and engagement rings in recent years.
Lachie also took some time away from the footy field at the end of the 2022 AFL season to deal with 'personal issues', taking an indefinite leave of absence before he was later transferred to Melbourne Football Club . He has since retired from the sport, with those close to him saying at the time he was dealing with 'individual challenges', though it wasn't confirmed if those issues were related to his marriage. Maddison appeared to confirm their split on Monday when she answered a question from one of her Instagram followers about a dress she recently wore to an event.
'The dress I wore was actually from Kyha which is a bridal designer, and no, I wasn't shopping for wedding dresses. I still haven't found the love of my life,' she said in a video on her Stories. Maddison made a similar comment in June 2023 when a follower asked her why she doesn't wear her engagement and wedding rings anymore.

They're beautiful,' the fan asked, to which Maddison responded: 'They are, but I'm not married so I don't wear them anymore.' Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Maddison for further comment.
Maddison and Lachie were very open about the gruelling two-year journey they spent trying to have children, with the WAG revealing in November 2020 she struggled to fall pregnant after five rounds of IVF. Posting a photo of herself wearing a hospital gown to Instagram after her fifth and final round, Maddison announced after 149 injections she was ready to move on. 'Time to put down the needles and start living my best life,' she wrote.
'Motherhood sounds so f***ing magical—I'm sure it is every bit as lovely and brilliant as everyone describes. 'But..
. I've also met and spoken with some pretty happy, loved-up women who, for a variety of reasons, have not had children; and you know what they seem to have found some pretty darn special magic in their lives too.' Maddison said the past two years had drained her 'energy and emotional capability' while leaving her feeling 'helplessly out of control'.
'But man it's made me tough and emotionally I know now nothing can break me. Two years since all this began and I am finally at peace with whatever the future holds for me,' she said. 'Kids don't equal happiness and it's so damn comforting for people like me, crippled by uncertainty to know that.
