AFL star Caleb Poulter debuts new girlfriend – who bears a striking resemblance to his ex


Western Bulldogs star Caleb Poulter has gone public with his new girlfriend – and it is clear he has a type.

The AFL star, whose high-profile split from Sam made headlines nearly two years ago, has debuted his new partner – and she bears a striking resemblance to his Melbourne influencer ex, Sam Guggenheimer.

The 22-year-old footy player made his relationship with Bridie Coulston Instagram official on Sunday, sharing a sweet black and white picture of the new couple to his story.

In the selfie, Caleb could be seen kissing the 25-year-old tenderly on the cheek as they stood on an escalator.

Similarly, Bridie shared a slew of pictures in an Instagram post on Friday showing the couple dressed to the nines on a night out.

The brunette beauty wore a stunning $520 Misha gown that hugged her curves and accentuated her slender frame.

She too has a large following on social media, with 10,500 fans on TikTok and 15,600 on Instagram. 

What’s more, Bridie and Sam could pass for sisters, with both having long, brunette locks, bronzed skin and petite builds.  

Sam, who has amassed over 365,000 followers on TikTok and 177,000 followers on Instagram, announced her split from Caleb on her podcast Just For Girls in January 2024.

Following weeks of break-up rumours, she could only gush about her former beau as she revealed they had called it quits after over two and a half years of dating. 

‘I had a beautiful relationship. If I pray for any girl to experience the love that I experienced with a male, it would be Caleb and my relationship.

She added: ‘I will cherish our relationship for the rest of my life — but things happen,’ she sweetly said. 

Sam set tongues wagging last year after revealing that she sends her exes exit surveys when they break up.

The 23-year-old TikToker and her best friend Izzy Armitage appeared on the Happy Hour podcast in December to discuss everything modern dating. 

Sam explained that she offered the AFL star an exit survey and he ‘loved it’ and filled it out.    

However, not all of her former flames were a fan of the idea.  

Referencing a recent short-lived relationship, Sam said, ‘The guy I saw in Bali blocked me because I sent him an exit survey and it did not go well.’ 

‘He said it was really insensitive and really rude,’ she continued. 

The Melbourne beauty explained she’d met a Bali-based man at Luigi’s in Canggu while on holiday. 

He then invited her to visit him two weeks later and the pair spent three weeks together, with him asking her to be his girlfriend during that time. 

Sam accepted and then realised she didn’t want to do long-distance and quickly broke things off.
