NRL star Bryce Cartwright has split from his anti-vaxxer wife Shanelle just months after walking away from a $450,000-a-season contract on the Gold Coast. Cartwright, 25, relocated to New South Wales last September with his now ex-wife and their two children, Koa and Naia, citing personal reasons. Despite the support of some fellow footballers and their partners, the couple's outspoken beliefs about vaccinations, particularly on social media, were widely condemned by a number of doctors and medical experts in 2020. The Cartwright's going their separate ways also comes as Australia prepares for its largest vaccination roll out in a bid to stop Covid in its tracks.
