Mason Cox is not married. The Fremantle ruck-forward, who is preparing for today’s AFL grand final against Brisbane, has been open about his single status and even joked about his struggles to find a partner after moving to Western Australia. His most high-profile relationship was with English netball champion Geva Mentor, and the two split in 2019.
Is Mason Cox married?
No, Mason Cox is not married. The 35-year-old confirmed his single status during a radio interview on Mix94.5 in May 2026, shortly after his move to Fremantle. When asked about his love life, Cox joked that his answer to finding a partner might be to “put a few resumes together.”
“I’m looking at the call line, and nothing has come up, so that’s good,” he said. He also revealed that his relationship status could determine his long-term future in Australia, saying: “I think one of the biggest things for if I stay in Australia is whether or not I find a partner in the next few years.”
Who is Mason Cox’s ex-girlfriend?
Mason Cox’s most well-known relationship was with Geva Mentor, an English netball player who represented England at multiple Commonwealth Games. The two began dating in late 2018, and their pairing made headlines in Australia due to their combined height — Cox stands at 211 centimetres while Mentor is 191 centimetres tall.
The couple separated in October 2019, just before Cox suffered a serious eye injury that sidelined him for Collingwood’s finals campaign. Reports at the time indicated there were no hard feelings between the two.
Has Mason Cox been linked to anyone else?
Cox has been spotted with a few high-profile figures since his split from Mentor, but none have been confirmed as serious relationships.
In November 2024, he was photographed getting cosy with champion jockey Michelle Payne at the Melbourne Cup. The two were seen enjoying each other’s company, with Cox leaning in close and occasionally touching his face as they spoke. The interaction sparked speculation, but neither party confirmed a relationship.
What has Mason Cox said about his future?
Cox has been candid about how his personal life could shape his professional future. The Texas native moved to Fremantle after being delisted by Collingwood in October 2025, signing an 18-month contract. But he admitted that if he does not find a partner in Australia before his career ends, he would likely return to the United States to be closer to his family.
“My brother’s having a kid soon, so if I’m away from the family, there’s got to be a decent reason to be away from the family if I’m not playing footy anymore,” he said.
For now, Cox remains focused on today’s grand final at the MCG, where he could become one of the few players to win premierships at two different clubs.
