Isaac Heeney’s fiancee Steffie Waters posts ‘iykyk’ photo
Steffie Waters, fiancee of Sydney Swans vice-captain Isaac Heeney, posted a photo recreating a paparazzi shot of him outside a Maroubra massage parlour, fuelling split rumours. Heeney is suspended after the club's August scandal; no charges have been laid.
Isaac Heeney’s fiancee Steffie Waters posted a photo over the weekend that recreated a paparazzi shot of the Sydney Swans vice-captain, deepening rumours the couple have split. She captioned the image “iykyk”, short for “if you know, you know”.
Waters, who has just returned to Sydney from a girls’ trip to the US, photographed herself leaving a Thai massage parlour in Maroubra.
The photo that was copied
In October, a photographer snapped Heeney leaving the same massage parlour, looking relaxed after a treatment. It was one of the first public sightings of the AFL player after the Swans scandal.
Waters’ picture appeared to match that image closely. Her clothes and posture mimicked Heeney’s stance.
Changes to her Instagram
The post follows several changes to Waters’ social media accounts. In mid-September she deleted the engagement announcement photo of the pair from Instagram.
That post dated from October 2025 and showed Waters flashing her ring after Heeney proposed in French Polynesia. Until late September it appeared to be the only image of the couple she had removed.
She then deleted several more photos of the two together. She also moved other pictures of Heeney deep into the later slides of her Instagram carousels, and none of the couple appear on her grid. It also appears the two have unfollowed each other.
The Swans scandal
The events alleged to have taken place on August 17 led to Heeney and four other players being suspended for the rest of the season for breaching club standards. The others are Chad Warner, Nick Blakey, Riley Bice and James Jordon.
Heeney has been revealed as the focus of a Victoria Police investigation into allegations of sexual assault. The force’s Sexual Crimes Squad continues to investigate an alleged assault that occurred that evening. No charges have been laid.
There is no suggestion that the other stood-down players have been accused of sexual assault.
On October 1, Heeney won his third consecutive Bob Skilton Medal as the club’s best player, at the 2026 awards function. He did not attend the ceremony at Sydney’s Town Hall because of the club-imposed suspension.
