Sports Personality Grace Hayden Turns Heads on the Water During Sun-Drenched Island Escape

Grace Hayden enjoyed a sun-drenched day on the water in a laid-back new Instagram post shared on Friday, January 9, offering followers a relaxed glimpse of a day spent on the water.

The cricket reporter and media personality, 23, appeared at ease as she lounged aboard a boat off North Stradbroke Island. The scenic coastal setting featured calm turquoise water, a sandy shoreline in the distance and scattered clouds overhead, giving the images a breezy, holiday-ready feel.

Hayden was photographed alongside a friend as the pair stretched out on cushioned boat seating, smiling and shielding their eyes from the sun between poses. Grace wore a bright blue triangle bikini with slim straps and tie-side bottoms, a look that stood out against the ocean backdrop.

In another shot, she leaned back with her eyes closed, sporting a neutral baseball cap, subtle stud earrings, and holding a bottled drink, capturing a candid moment away from the camera.

Her blonde hair fell loose and wind-swept, adding to the casual mood of the set, while minimal accessories kept the focus on the sun-soaked setting. The photos blended posed snapshots with more spontaneous moments, giving the post a natural, unfiltered vibe.

Hayden captioned the post, “Just another day in paradise.”

Known for her work as a cricket reporter and sports media presenter, she has continued to build her own presence across broadcasting and digital platforms, carving out a career in sports media while also being the daughter of Australian cricket great Matthew Hayden, 54.
