Former NRL star Billy Slater was all smiles on Saturday as he cuddled up with his wife Nicole during the Magic Millions Race Day arrivals.
The retired footy legend, 41, looked very handsome in a navy suit with a crisp white shirt and matching tie as he wrapped an arm around his wife of 15 years.
Posing for photos at the Gold Coast Turf Club alongside other arrivals, the happy couple could hardly wipe a smile off their face as they enjoyed the sunny day.
Nicole turned heads as she slipped her figure into a coral coloured dress which hit her at mid-calf and featured a daring low cut neckline.
She opted for a pair of matching strappy kitten heels which complemented her netted fascinator beautifully.
The monochromatic ensemble artfully highlighted the white Bulgari handbag the mum-of-two carried, which can currently fetch up to $3,400 secondhand.

Nicole, who shared daughter Tyla, 15, and son Jake, 13, with Billy, polished off her race day look with a nude lip and a set of designer shades.
Elsewhere, former Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and her partner Dr Reza Adib looked the matching pair as they arrived at the annual event.
The politician, 55, who served as the 39th premier of Queensland from 2015 to 2023, appeared to be content as she enjoyed retirement with her beau.
Ms Palaszczuk kept her accessories to a minimum, but stepped out in a white, floral printed Samantha Ogilvie dress worth a shocking $1,550.
Rocking a pearl necklace and silver watch alongside her frock, the former Labor leader stepped into some strappy heels which flaunted her red painted toenails.
Standing at her side, partner Dr Adib, who is the CEO of Brisbane Obesity Clinic, looked dashing in a cream suit with a wide-brimmed hat and brown loafers.
Ms Palaszczuk went public with her relationship with Dr Adib on September 3, 2021, ending months of speculation the pair were dating.
The former premier, who was steering her state through the Covid pandemic when she first confirmed the relationship, described Dr Adib as a ‘gorgeous man’.

They were first spotted together at the Caloundra Cup at the Sunshine Coast Turf Club on July 11, 2021 and endured multiple scandals during Ms Palaszczuk’s tumultuous time in office before she announced her resignation in 2023.
Ms Palaszczuk had been highly secretive about her personal life which she said was almost non-existent because of her busy schedule as premier.
‘It’s simply not true that we all need a partner to be fulfilled,’ she said in 2019.
‘It’s lovely when it’s the right person of course, but it is very possible to be single and very happy.’
She was first spotted with Dr Adib at the Caloundra Cup at the Sunshine Coast Turf Club on July 11, 2021 and her chief of staff initially dismissed rumours of a romance.
However, in August 2021 she unveiled a glamorous makeover during one of her daily Covid press conferences, raising speculation there had been other changes in her private life.
She finally confirmed that she was committed to Dr Adib to the Courier Mail early in the following month.
‘He is a very warm and caring, intelligent man with a great sense of humour, and we are just enjoying getting to know each other,’ the premier said at the time.
‘We make time when we can to see each other, it’s not easy, but when we do see each other we like to go out to dinner and go on long walks, and what has been nice for me is that he also makes me take a break from work every now and again.’
In 2022 the couple were often spotted together with Ms Palaszczuk facing a wave of backlash from critics.
She was accused of being out of touch for her frequent red carpet appearances with Dr Adib, including at Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis premiere and the 2022 Logie awards.
