In a jaw-dropping turn of events that’s sent shockwaves through the AFL world, Collingwood sensation Nick Daicos has officially called it quits with longtime girlfriend Arlette Serebrian.
After weeks of speculation swirling around the couple’s social media silence, the 22-year-old Magpies superstar took to his Instagram Stories late Friday night to confirm what fans had feared — the pair have decided to go their separate ways.
“Arlette and I have shared some amazing memories together,” Daicos wrote. “She’s an incredible person, and I’ll always respect her. Right now, I need to focus on my career, my mental health, and the next chapter of my life.”
The news has sent fans into a frenzy, with messages of shock and support flooding both of their accounts within minutes.
Sources close to the pair revealed that the split was “mutual but emotional”, and that the couple had been struggling to balance busy schedules as Nick’s AFL commitments intensified in the lead-up to the 2026 season.
“Nick’s been laser-focused on his game, and Arlette’s had her own career taking off — it was just too much pressure from both sides,” an insider claimed.
Despite the heartbreak, those close to Daicos insist he’s handling things with maturity and gratitude. “He’s got a good head on his shoulders,” said one teammate. “He’s channeling everything into training and staying grounded.”
As for Arlette, the influencer and fashion model has remained quiet on the news, simply posting a serene sunset photo captioned, “New beginnings.”
While fans across the desert — and the entire AFL community — process the shocking split, one thing’s for sure: Nick Daicos’ next move, both on and off the field, will be one to watch.
