Brodie Ryan Hard Launches New Romance with Perth Businessman Dave
Brodie Ryan has officially "hard launched" her new relationship, nearly twelve months after her split from AFL star Nathan Buckley. The 35-year-old brunette took to Instagram over the weekend to share a loved-up photo with her new partner, identified by the Herald Sun as Dave, a Perth-based businessman.
Romantic Gestures and Social Media Teasers
In fact, Brodie skipped all the festivities of the F1 Grand Prix in Melbourne to head west and spend time with her hunky new beau. Before her trip, she teased the relationship on Instagram with a playful caption: "Flirted a little hard, caught feelings and am now catching flights every month."
However, the tyranny of distance appears to be short-lived. Brodie revealed to the publication that Dave is prepared to move to Melbourne for her, saying, "He is prepared to move to Melbourne for me so we will just take it as it comes and see how it unfolds."
Quality Time and Public Reactions
It was also reported that the couple enjoyed quality time together in Sorrento over the New Year period. Last week, Brodie shared a series of photos on social media from Amelia Park Wines in Margaret River, including one image showing her and Dave beaming broadly as they huddled close for a happy snap.
Followers were quick to gush over the romantic photo, with comments such as: "Great taste in fashion and men." Another chimed in with: "Looking fabulous and your company is rather ok too," while a third added: "Lovely to see you smiling." Daily Mail has contacted Brodie for comment.
Reflecting on Past Relationship with Nathan Buckley
Brodie and Nathan, 53, called time on their relationship back in May last year, announcing the news on Instagram. In a heartfelt post, Brodie wrote, "After much reflection and consideration, Nath and I have decided to part ways." She expressed gratitude for the support during the heartache and emphasized respect for Nathan and his family, including his two teenage sons, Jett and Ayce, from his previous marriage to Tania.
The sad ending came just months after the pair took their relationship to the next level by jetting off to Fiji for a vacation with Nathan's family. Brodie previously revealed that she and Nathan connected over their similar upbringings when they began dating in 2022, despite their 17-year age gap. She told the Herald Sun in 2023, "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."
Their relationship came after Nathan split with wife Tania in December 2020, after 18 years of marriage. As Brodie embarks on this new chapter with Dave, fans are watching closely to see how this romance unfolds, with hopes for a happier outcome.
