Former NRL bad boy Mitchell Pearce is a very different man compared to his at times chaotic footy days - thanks to the positive influence of a new romantic figure in his life.
Pearce, 34, is in a relationship with a woman of Muslim faith that he met while playing for Catalans Dragons in France.
The couple have been together for just over a year - and the halfback is clearly invested in the relationship.
He is currently observing Ramadan — the months of the Muslim year when strict fasting is observed from dawn to sunset — for the first time as part of his new approach to life.
The premiership-winning no.7 with the Roosters has also not touched a drop of alcohol in over 12 months.
