Brendan Fevola’s stepdaughter, Mia, confirmed her split from Richmond Tigers star Daniel Rioli in February after two years of dating.

But on Saturday, the 20-year-old sparked rumours of a reconciliation when she posted a touching tribute to the sports star after his team won the AFL grand final.

Mia shared a video of Daniel, 23, receiving a medal to her Instagram story, alongside several yellow and black love hearts.

However, she wasn’t the only person who paid tribute to an ex as Lauren Phillips also dedicated a post to her ex-boyfriend Gary Ablett, who retired after the grand final on Saturday.

The 39-year-old shared a photo of the Geelong Cats star walking through a guard of honour after playing his final match.

‘A wonderful footballer. An even better human. Well done Gaz,’ Lauren captioned the post.

Gary and Lauren split in September 2012 after dating for almost a decade.

Meanwhile, Mia and Daniel dated for two years before the brunette confirmed they’d split in February.

‘Daniel and I are no longer together; however, we still love and care for each other very much and remain the best of friends,’ she wrote on Instagram.

Daniel, 23, also addressed the split on his own Instagram account.

‘Hey guys, I know everyone is wondering what’s going on with Mia and myself and I hate to say this but we are no longer together,’ he wrote.

‘But we both love each other and still remain close as best friends and hopefully you guys can respect that.’

Mia is the eldest child of Brendan’s longtime partner, Alex.

The former footy star adopted Mia as his own daughter after he married Alex in 2005, and they have remained close even during times when the couple were separated.

Aside from Mia, Brendan and Alex share three daughters, Leni, Lulu, and Tobi.
