💣 BOMBSHELL IN AFL: Collingwood Coach Craig McRae Files for Divorce — Fans Left in Shock! 💣
The AFL world has been rocked by unexpected news as Collingwood Magpies head coach Craig McRae has officially filed for divorce from his wife, Gabrielle McRae. The announcement, confirmed by close sources earlier this week, has left fans and players alike stunned, given the couple’s long-standing public image of unity and happiness.
According to reports, McRae submitted the divorce documents earlier this month, citing “irreconcilable differences.” While details remain private, the 50-year-old coach later addressed the situation in a brief, heartfelt statement. “This was not an easy decision,” McRae reportedly said. “Gabrielle and I have shared wonderful years together, but we’ve decided it’s time to move forward separately, with respect and care for each other.”
The news has spread rapidly across social media, with Collingwood fans reacting with disbelief and compassion. Many have taken to X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram to express their support for McRae, urging privacy for both parties during this difficult time.
Despite the personal turmoil, insiders reveal that McRae remains fully committed to his role at Collingwood. Club officials have publicly backed their coach, praising his professionalism and leadership throughout a challenging period. “Craig continues to be an outstanding figure in our football program,” said a club spokesperson.
McRae, who led Collingwood to a historic premiership victory in 2023, has built a reputation as one of the most respected and emotionally intelligent coaches in the AFL. While his personal life faces a new chapter, fans hope this development won’t affect his remarkable work with the team.
As the Magpies prepare for the next AFL season, all eyes remain on how McRae will balance personal healing with professional focus — a true test of resilience and character. 🏉💔
