Nadia Bartel has made her first red carpet appearance since news of her split from husband, ex AFL player Jimmy Bartel, went public. The 34-year-old mother-of-two arrived at the 2019 Brownlow Medal wearing a stunning strapless dress by her wedding dress designer, JโAton, which features a thigh-high split, long train and sparkly embellishments all over.
Nadia, who is hosting the event coverage, took to Instagram ahead of the evening to share her look with followers, writing, โWhen @jatoncouture creates magic โจโ
Friends such as Jodi Anasta and Phoebe Burgess quickly commented on the post in support of Nadia, with Jodi writing, โYouโre INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! โก๏ธโก๏ธโก๏ธโก๏ธโ and Phoebe saying simply, โSoooo beautiful.โ

Of course, Nadia has been in the headlines recently due to the breakdown of her marriage, which is reportedly because of her husbandโs affair with a woman who is based in the UK. The pair share two sons, Aston, 3, and Henley, 9-months. Reports first surfaced of the split after the two abruptly unfollowed each other on Instagram and speaking to The Herald Sun recently, Nadia said she is โheartbroken.โ
โAlthough Iโm heartbroken, I donโt want to comment specifically on whatโs been reported about Jimโs trip to the UK as I donโt think that is in anyoneโs interests,โ she told the publication.
โItโs been a very difficult month for me and the boys,โ she said. โMy single focus now is to continue to protect, care and provide for my two beautiful boys as this is a personal matter. I am so thankful for my very supportive family and friends.โ
