Manly Sea Eagles supporters were left stunned, confused, and furiously refreshing their feeds this morning after a completely fictional report claimed that star second-rower Haumole Olakau’atu had officially filed for divorce from his wife Ana Ilavalu, sending shockwaves through Brookvale and beyond.

According to the entirely made-up article, the forward allegedly released a late-night statement that began with the words fans fear most: “This wasn’t an easy decision…”

Within minutes, social media erupted.

“I can’t believe this — first the shoulder injury rumours, now THIS?” one fan wrote, before being gently reminded by others that the story was very clearly fake.

A “Statement” That Never Happened

In the fictional announcement, Olakau’atu supposedly explained his decision with calm maturity, saying that life in the NRL spotlight, intense training schedules, and long seasons had “placed enormous pressure on family life.”

“Sometimes,” the imaginary quote continued, “two good people grow in different directions — especially during the preseason.”

Sources that definitely do not exist claimed the decision was “mutual, respectful, and focused on personal growth,” immediately calming fans who feared it might somehow affect his edge-running lines or defensive reads.

Fans React (Dramatically, of Course)

Outside 4 Pines Park, fictional supporters were said to be in disbelief.

• “As long as he’s still running hard lines on the left edge, I’m okay,” one very serious fan allegedly said.
• Another added, “I just hope this doesn’t mean he’s leaving Manly too — I can only handle one fake headline per day.”

Club Response

In a statement that was never released, Manly officials reportedly declined to comment on players’ personal lives, while reassuring fans that Olakau’atu remained “100% focused on footy, fitness, and absolutely nothing in this article.”

The Reality Check

To be perfectly clear:
This story is pure fiction, written for entertainment, satire, and dramatic flair only. No divorce announcement has been made, no statement was released, and no fans were actually interviewed while clutching takeaway coffees in despair.
