An explicit sex video featuring footy star Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow is central to the breakdown of his romance with NRLW poster girl Jaime Chapman, Daily Mail Australia can reveal.
The footy power couple’s almost year-long relationship ended recently, with our exclusive reporting pointing out the telling signs they had quietly split.
Neither Tabuai-Fidow nor Chapman would comment when contacted by Daily Mail Australia – but now a source close to the couple has revealed that an X-rated video is behind the high-profile bust-up.
The footage features a young woman known to the Dolphins and Queensland State of Origin winger filming herself performing a sex act on him.
Tabuai-Fidow is easily identifiable due to his tattoos, including a recent piece featuring a bear wearing a crown that he had inked on his right thigh.
Our source told us the footage was taken on June 7, when Chapman was in camp preparing for the start of her NRLW season with the Gold Coast Titans.

The two representative stars were together for almost a year before the graphic footage led to their recent break-up, Daily Mail Australia can reveal

Tabuai-Fidow and the woman had been partying at the Su Casa nightclub in Brisbane, with the venue’s stamp visible on her forearm in the footage.
They left the nightclub together and ventured back to Tabuai-Fidow’s house in Brisbane’s north, where they made the consensual sex tape.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted the woman in the video for comment.
Chapman is arguably the poster girl of the NRLW competition after first entering the league with St George in 2021 before shifting to the Broncos and, now, the Titans.
She has gone from star club player to being one of the NSW Blues’ best in State of Origin and earning five appearances for the national side, the Jillaroos.
Chapman’s career trajectory is mirrored by Tabuai-Fidow’s. He debuted for the Cowboys in 2020 before moving to the Dolphins in 2023 and stamping himself as one of the league’s most exciting talents while excelling for Queensland and Australia.
Confirmation of their break-up comes after he was named as fullback for the Maroons in game three, in a move that will see him play one of the most important positions in the series decider.
The timing is awful given Tabuai-Fidow will already have plenty on his plate in camp as he comes to grips with playing in the No. 1 jersey, with NSW sure to target him through the air and on the ground, especially in light of his new drama.

Tabuai-Fidow’s Instagram used to be full of photos of him with Chapman – now only one remains (pictured here) and it’s likely only still there as part of a sponsorship deal

Our detailed look at both stars’ social media accounts provided plenty of evidence they had split up.
Until recently, Chapman’s Instagram account featured many photos of her and the man known to fans as ‘the Hammer’.
But Tabuai-Fidow has been completely erased from her grid, which now features only shots of her playing and spending time with family, friends and teammates.
Even more tellingly, Chapman no longer follows the Dolphins winger on the platform.
Tabuai-Fidow’s Instagram only features one post showing him with Chapman – but there used to be many more.
That remaining post shows them in a video they recorded for the Fatfish e-bikes business, which sponsors both stars – so it’s likely it’s only staying up as part of that agreement.
While her ex has broken his silence about the end of the romance, Chapman (pictured) has maintained a dignified silence as she prepares for the start of the NRLW season

When we broke the news about their split on June 30, he still had a second post on his account, showing him holding hands with Chapman while she took a selfie.
It was accompanied by the caption ‘My love’ with a red-heart emoji – but now even that has disappeared.
Tabuai-Fidow was still following Chapman when our exclusive was published, but he has now unfollowed her.
In addition, Chapman wasn’t present when he celebrated his 100th NRL match by scoring four tries against Souths on June 28 with his friends and family cheering him on in the stands.
One of their last public appearances together came on May 1, after Chapman’s Blues team steamrolled Queensland 32-12 in the first match of the State of Origin series.
In heartwarming scenes, she went to the sidelines to greet friends and family after the win and kissed and hugged her man, who was holding a huge cardboard cut-out of her face.
Before the match, there was speculation about how the couple would deal with being on opposite sides of the hotly contested interstate battles.
‘It’ll be pretty weird when it comes around,’ Tabuai-Fidow told NITV News.
‘But she’s got my support.’
Chapman said she would support Tabuai-Fidow when he runs out for the Maroons – but drew the line at backing the Cane Toads.
The break-up has come during a very turbulent year for Chapman, who has already endured a broken vertebra and an AI deepfake photo scandal that led to a police investigation
‘I’ll support him no matter what he does and no matter what team he plays for,’ she said.
‘I’ll be going for him… but not the Maroons.’
Footy supporters were overjoyed when the romance was made public through one of Chapman’s Instagram posts.
Fellow women’s representative stars Jessica Sergis and Kezie Apps responded with love-heart emojis, while numerous footy fans also weighed in on the glamour couple.
‘Most athletic child in the world,’ one supporter wrote in response.
Another said, ‘Move over Nathan & Mary’, a cheeky comparison to Panthers superstar Nathan Cleary and his girlfriend, Matildas and Manchester City attacking ace Mary Fowler.
A third posted: ‘They will have the fastest babies.’
A fourth said in jest: ‘History has been made, officially the fastest couple on earth.’
The split comes during a very turbulent year for Chapman, who has battled through an agonising injury and a shocking deepfake scandal that resulted in a police investigation.
She’ll be one of the headline attractions for fans as she runs out for the Gold Coast Titans against the Cowboys on July 5 in Townsville.
