AFL star Darcy Moore’s girlfriend Dee Salmin has given an incredibly woke explanation for the fact she doesn’t want to live together with the premiership-winning Collingwood skipper.
Salmin hosts Triple J radio’s The Sunday Hook Up sex education program, and she went into detail about their romance on another ABC show, Ladies, We Need To Talk… Back earlier this week.
‘I don’t live with my partner at the moment and we have such different, independent, busy lives,’ she said.
‘We get to have so much of what we had when we were still single in our relationship.
‘But I wonder how much you can actually upkeep that when you do end up living together.
‘So much of it is hetero-dynamic learnt behaviours that you might fall into.’
To clarify, it appears Salmin is using those five key words to indicate that she and Moore don’t conform to the heterosexual gender stereotype of women taking on the bulk of housework and domestic duties when they live with a partner.
She was backed up by the show’s host, TV star turned radio personality and author Yumi Stynes, who said living together would lead to ‘domestic drudgery’ that’s ‘not sexy’ and asked if Salmin thought all couples should live separately.
‘I also said to my partner we are going to have separate bedrooms [if/when they live together].’
‘I’m sorry but that’s really hot, I’m into that,’ Stynes replied.
‘I just think it’s so important. I think that it’s something you really need to make sure that you’re taking care of and working on … your partner can’t be everything,’ Salmin explained.
‘You need to have places to be your complete self.’
Moore and Salmin first sparked rumours they were dating when they were pictured holding hands last August at the opening night of Moulin Rouge in Melbourne.
They confirmed their romance when they hit the red carpet for the Brownlow Medal ceremony and were also pictured at the ARIA Awards.
Following Collingwood’s grand final win last year, Dee posted a photo of herself celebrating alongside Darcy at the MCG, alongside other shots of herself partying with friends.
‘Pretty lowkey weekend wbu,’ she cheekily wrote in the caption.
Moore is known in footy circles as being very educated, well-spoken and progressive with a love of fashion.
He holds a commerce degree from the University of Melbourne, is studying for a master’s degree in international relations.
Earlier this year he said of Salmin, ‘I’m in sport and she’s in music, so we showed each other our respective worlds.
‘She had a baptism of fire during the finals and the grand final – all those tight games. She’d been to one football game her whole life.
‘That’s been pretty fun showing her my world.’
The remarks about living separately weren’t the first time Salmin has discussed her relationship on air.
During an episode of her Hook Up show earlier this month, she was discussing sexual chemistry when she revealed an unusual fact about their romance.
‘I can’t smell my partner’s B.O. [body odour]. It just doesn’t exist in my brain. Like, I cannot smell anything,’ she said.
‘Other people obviously can but I can’t and I just wonder if just like, on an attraction level I just like it, but nothing smells.’
