BEFORE THE FAME
Raised in Sydney, Ellyse played multiple sports at school and showed elite ability in both cricket and football. Her rise was extraordinarily fast: she entered senior international sport while still a teenager and had to balance two national-team pathways.
CLOSE WITH (ASSOCIATED);
Perry has shared many Australian cricket triumphs with teammates such as Alyssa Healy and Meg Lanning. Her early football career also made her a rare former teammate of Matildas players before she committed exclusively to cricket.
Personal LIFE and Relationship
Ellyse was previously married to Australian rugby player Matt To’omua, with the marriage ending in 2020. She keeps her current private life relatively guarded, while cricket, training, reading, and long-standing friendships within Australian sport receive most public attention.
