AFL star Nathan Buckley, 51, gushes over girlfriend Brodie Ryan, 34, as the business manager settles nicely into her new WAG lifestyle

Nathan Buckley revealed on Saturday how ‘fortunate’ he is to have found his new girlfriend Brodie Ryan.

The former AFL star, 51, gushed over the 34-year-old business manager who he went public with in October last year. 

He said ‘life is good’ now that he is with her, reported Herald Sun when the publication asked about the recent breakdown of his marriage with ex-wife Tania.  

‘I feel very fortunate to have met a partner in Brodie that I love and respect. Life is good,’ he said. 

It comes as Brodie takes full advantage of all the perks which come with being a WAG as she recently expanded her career by partnering with a jewellery brand.

The brunette beauty shared a photo to Instagram late last month which showed her posing up a storm while wearing a $55 chunky chain link necklace.

The WAG looked every inch the stunner in the jaw-dropping snap as she effortlessly rocked her best angles while promoting Access Avenue’s budget jewellery.

‘Brodie offered to help us in getting our Access Avenue accessory label up and running,’ the company wrote in the caption of the photo.

‘She was on board from the Get Go and we’ve been blessed with a one of a kind connection to this extraordinary woman!’

The company offers a wide variety of budget jewellery to help a person get glammed up without tightening their purse strings.

Brodie appears to have settled well into the role of a WAG as the brunette beauty had an incredible makeover to match her new life with Nathan.

She went from a blonde girl-next-door look to a bronzed glamazon almost overnight after dating the former AFL player and coach.

In resurfaced Instagram photos, the difference is uncanny as she looked completely unrecognisable in throwback photos from her late 20s.

Comparing her happy snaps over the years, it’s clear Brodie had a huge transformation once she became a WAG last year.

With visibly fuller lips and a more natural brunette colour to her locks, the stunner has leaned into enhancing her genetically blessed features.
