Nathan Buckley’s ex-girlfriend Brodie Ryan has raised eyebrows after suggesting that being a WAG is harder than being a CEO.
The healthcare professional, who split from the AFL star earlier this year after dating for three years, sat down with the Smile: The Makeover Scoop podcast to discuss the difficulties of being on the footy sidelines.
‘Sometimes I would say, seeing my mum do it, seeing my friends do it, being a stay-at-home mum and keeping a home and supporting an AFL footballer would be harder than being a CEO of a company.’
She went on to praise the women behind sports stars who are so easily ‘overshadowed’ by what their partners do.
‘I really take my hat off to women out there that do have the hard slog of being at home, keeping a nice house, looking after their husbands and keeping their day as smooth as you can, while keeping the mayhem of home at bay and looking after yourself and your mental health, your wellbeing and keeping yourself in good nick as well,’ she said.

‘Seeing these women do it and then get on a red carpet and smile, like it’s been an easy year for them… I really take my hat off to them; they each do their own things in their respective fields.’
Brodie and Collingwood great Nathan split earlier this year.
In May, the brunette revealed she’d be moving out of the Melbourne home she purchased with Nathan following their breakup.
She said goodbye to the bayside suburb of Elwood altogether in an emotional Instagram post that showed her enjoying 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 the 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 had decided to part ways.
‘To the followers of the “Brodes and Bucks” journey,’ she 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.’
