Nathan Buckley's ex opens up about ‘horrible' split
Brodie Ryan has opened up about her split from Collingwood legend Nathan Buckley, admitting that she was left heartbroken. 'The first few months were hard, and breakups are always horrible,' she told the Herald Sun on Thursday. 'Time heals all wounds. The heartbreak is real, but we'll both be okay.' The 36-year-old revealed she had intended to be a housewife, and was disappointed that the plans were no longer in effect. 'I wanted that responsibility and revelled in that of being a housewife and a little family's support, but unfortunately it didn't end the way I'd hoped,' she said. In April this year, Ryan said her goal for this year was to focus on herself, telling the Herald Sun, 'Focusing on mental health and the stable lifestyle that I'm used to, and doing things that make me happy. That's my plan for 2025 … to focus on me.' The pair, who met in 2022 and have a 16-year age gap, have been an item since 2022. Ryan shared the news of their split in an Instagram story in May this year. 'After much reflection and consideration, Nath and I have decided to part ways,' she said. 'This decision was not made lightly, and we are grateful for the time we shared, the memories we created, and the support we received from each other.' In Ryan's lengthy post, she also thanked supporters for their kind messages 'over the past couple of months of heartache', and said she will always have respect for Nathan and 'a lot of love for him and his boys and our beautiful dog Tank'. Buckley, 52, did not share the same message to his social media platforms. AFL legend Buckley separated from his wife Tania Buckley, with whom he shares two children, in 2020 and in a candid interview a few years later referred to his marriage breakdown as 'the most traumatic thing that's happened to me recently'. 'Whilst it was a bloody tough period, I learnt a lot about being more open, being more vulnerable and that I actually couldn't hold it all in,' he told the Herald Sun. 'At the same point, my footy family, and then close friends, just rose to the surface. I'd never really understood the absolute value of friendship until I had nowhere else to turn, and I needed them.'

Brodie Ryan breaks silence on 'horrible' split with AFL star Nathan Buckley: 'The heartbreak is real'
Brodie Ryan has opened up on her 'horrible' breakup with AFL star Nathan Buckley. The healthcare professional admitted that she was left heartbroken by the split but is looking toward the future. 'The first few months were hard, and break-ups are always horrible,' the 36-year-old told the Herald Sun on Wednesday. 'Time heals all wounds. The heartbreak is real, but we'll both be okay.' Brodie said that she was 'resuming her normal life' but sad that her dreams of being a 'housewife' have been dashed. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I wanted that responsibility and revelled in that of being a housewife and a little family's support, but unfortunately it didn't end the way I'd hoped' she said. Brodie added that her life now was a 'little more stress-free with a little less pressure and less responsibility.' In May, Brodie revealed she'll be moving out of the Melbourne home she purchased with Buckley, following their split. The brunette revealed in an emotional Instagram post that she is leaving the bayside suburb of Elwood altogether. Brodie shared an image as she enjoyed a glass of wine at the local tavern. 'End of an era. Sad to say goodbye to my favourite little community of Elwood,' she captioned the post. Brodie and Nathan purchased a property together in the highly sought-after suburb and moved into the home in June last year. Her post came just hours after Brodie announced the pair have decided to part ways, while Nathan still remains silent on the breakup. 'To the followers of the 'Brodes and Bucks' journey,' the former WAG began. 'After much reflection and consideration, Nath and I have decided to part ways,' she continued. 'Thank you for your kind messages and support over the past couple of months of heartache. I am truly grateful for your kindness and consideration. 'This decision was not made lightly, and we are grateful for the time we shared, the memories we created, and the support we received from each other and all of you. 'While we will no longer be a couple, I will always respect Nathan and the friendship that developed between us 3-4 years ago and have a lot of love for him and his boys and our beautiful dog Tank.' Brodie concluded: 'We appreciate your understanding and kindness over the past couple of months and continuing through this transition period. 'We kindly ask for privacy as we navigate this new chapter in our lives. Thank you for your continued support and for being a part of our journey. With respect and gratitude, Brodie.' The sad ending came just months after the pair took their relationship to the next level by recently jetting off to the island paradise of Fiji for a very special family occasion. 'It's a big family holiday with all of Nath's family,' Ryan told the Herald Sun at the Australian Open. It was not the couple's first getaway, they've enjoyed several mini-breaks so far on homegrown soil. 'We've been to the New South Wales coast in the... campervan, we've been to Eildon, Fairhaven, Sorrento and we'll also be going to Queensland,' she told the publication at the time. Brodie previously revealed she and Nathan connected over their similar upbringings, after they began dating in 2022. Despite their 17-year age gap, the Melbourne businesswoman said they have so much in common and that they push each other every day to be their best selves. 'Helping others be the best version of themselves and prioritising their mental health and wellbeing and giving back to others is a passion both Nath and I have always shared. These topics were a big attraction to each in the beginning,' she said. 'We had very similar upbringings and share a lot of the same values due to this,' she continued. 'I have always been enthusiastic about helping others where I can, and to have a partner that exercises this same passion every day with his family, friends, and the wider community inspires me.' Brodie said Nathan's public profile has given him the opportunity to help others through hardships and to give back, and that she is 'inspired' by the work he does.
