Jess Holyoake and Megan Schutt have been in a relationship for a long time. Megan Scutt is a talented bowler from Australia and has played a key role in the wins of Australia in all the major tournaments since 2016. The right-arm pacer is one of the players in huge demand in international cricket and league cricket. Megan has been in and around the Australian side since 2012 and has been highly impactful as a player for the champion side. Her girlfriend, Jess Holyoake though, is not from a cricketing background. It was Megan who decided to propose to Jess.

After spending two years together, Megan proposed to Jess in 2017. By then, same-sex marriage was legal in Australia. It is said that Holyoake took barely 5 seconds to accept the proposal of Megan. Since then, the two have lived happily together with each other. Megan has been winning the tournaments as a player for Australia. The right-arm pacer has been well known for her skills with the new ball and the old ball. Early in the innings, she has an outswinger that could trouble the batters. With the old ball, Schutt has a terrific yorker, which is hard to play against.
