Beau Ryan has been dropped as a Woolies ambassador after claims he cheated.

Those cheating claims are taking their toll on Beau Ryan’s professional life.

Former NRL player Beau Ryan has been dropped as a Woolworths brand ambassador following allegations he cheated on his wife.

“Woolworths Connect has ended its partnership with Beau Ryan,” the supermarket giant confirmed in a statement to the Daily Mail Australia.

Claims that Ryan had an affair with former Hi-5 member Lauren Brant surfaced this week in an interview with Brant’s ex-fiance, personal trainer Warren Riley.

Riley told Woman’s Day in the exclusive interview that he learned of the affair, which allegedly look place while Brant and Ryan were working ona Sydney production of Aladdin and his Wondrous Lamp, by reading Brant’s text messages.

“She owned up to everything. She said she’d slept with him [Ryan] on two occasions in her hotel after rehearsals,” he said.

The allegedly infidelity began earlier this year when Brant, 26, and Ryan, 30, were taking pictures of themselves rehearsing to share on social media.

“She said after they’d taken the photos they were still kind of staying pretty close to each other and then they started making out,” Riley told Woman’s Day.

Riley and Brant later split.

Brant and Ryan, who have each previously projected wholesome and family-friendly public images, have faced a harsh social media backlash after the interview’s publication.

Brant set her Instagram account to private after receiving a number of abusive messages following the cheating claims.

“Beau has decided to take some leave with his family after consultation with The Footy Show and Channel Nine.”
