Luke and Cate Sayers have divorced while their defamation case continues in Victoria's Supreme Court.
The legal dispute began after an explicit photo appeared on Luke Sayers's X account in January 2025. At the time, he was president of AFL club Carlton. He stepped down from that role after the incident.
Cate Sayers is suing her former husband for defamation. She claims he gave a false statement to AFL investigators. That statement said she had accessed his account and posted the photo herself.
