Nadia Bartel reveals new details about split with ex-husband and AFL star Jimmy in emotional interview: 'I was in a bad place'
Nadia Bartel has revealed 'the most intense experience' she had following her devastating split from AFL star Jimmy. The Aussie model, 40, who ended her marriage with her husband of five years in 2019, sat down with Bec Judd and Jess Roberts on their podcast Vain-ish, where she discussed her self-care regimen. Speaking to the podcast hosts, the Henne founder revealed that she turned to meditation and breathwork to 'recentre' herself in the wake of her divorce. 'I got into that after the split from my marriage,' she told Bec and Jess. Speaking of her breathwork journey, Nadia said that the recommendation came from a mate who 'knew I was struggling'.

She turned to Jess and Bec, saying: 'I was in a bad place, as you guys knew.' Nadia's friend said that her brother had recently gone through a break-up too and had turned to breathwork as a means of therapy. 'When you're going through something, you're willing to do anything,' Nadia added about the experience. Despite saying she probably wouldn't have tried if she had Googled it beforehand, Nadia said the experience was 'incredible'. 'It was three hours of the most intense experience,' she said, adding that the instructor taught her how to get into a meditative state through breathing in and out. 'It was almost hard to do it. You're having all these intense thoughts when you're doing it,' she said. 'And then my whole body and fingers started cramping and tears were pouring... 'It was like an out-of-body' experience.' Nadia and Jimmy, who were once considered the glamour couple of the AFL, separated in 2019 after five years of marriage. The couple married back in 2014 and share two sons, Henley and Aston. Nadia said at the time: 'It's been a very difficult month for me and the boys.' 'My single focus now is to continue to protect, care for, and provide for my two beautiful boys as this is a personal matter. I am so thankful for my very supportive family and friends.' Jimmy, famous for his tenure with the Geelong Football Club, welcomed a baby girl with his now-girlfriend Amelia Shepperd on April 4, 2023. Nadia and former footballer Peter Dugmore went public with their relationship at the 2024 Australian Open tennis and the couple are still going strong.

Who is Bec Judd's blonde bombshell best friend? Rising Instagram star threatens to derail WAG's status of 'Queen Bee' in the Melbourne socialite scene
Bec Judd has long been known as the 'Queen Bee' of the Melbourne social scene after making her debut at the 2004 Brownlow Medal in THAT famous red dress. But after two decades in the spotlight, Bec has some stiff competition threatening to derail her status - and they're in her own backyard. Her blonde bombshell best friend, Jessie Roberts, 33, has recently been thrust into the spotlight as the close-knit pair tease an 'exciting collaboration'. Jessie is a TV presenter, mum-of-three and co-owns successful dental practice BC Dental in Beaumaris, Melbourne, with her husband Val. She is also the face of the Channel Nine's Australia's Best Pools. If that isn't enough, Jessie, who is quickly rising up the socialite ranks thanks to her friendship with Bec and fellow WAGs Nadia Bartel and Jessie Murphy, also dabbles in interior design, with her family home boasting its own Instagram page. In her free time, Jessie acts as a director on the board of the Brain Ball, which she co-founded in 2021 with registered nurse and friend Emily Galea. The annual charity event has raised more than $185,000 in the last three years. According to her Instagram bio, she considers the dental business she owns with husband Val to be a 'side hustle'. Jessie and Val, who offer porcelain veneers for patients, share three children - daughters River, 13, and Scarlett, 10, and son Jagger, seven. The socialite used to run a popular Instagram account called Modern Day Mumma where she documented her journey as a young mum-of-three. She appeared to reach the height of her mummy blogger fame in 2018 when she opened up about her struggles with 'severe post-natal depression'. 'I had my first child [River] in 2012 and suffered from severe post-natal depression. It set me back a couple of years,' she told 9Honey at the time. Jessie revealed it took 10 months for her to be properly diagnosed, during which time she reached a point where she couldn't get out of bed. Even after her diagnosis, she said 'it took about a year and a half before I got out of that haze', which she managed by seeing a psychologist and using natural remedies. 'My husband was amazing, even though I was quite vacant in our relationship. I also had my mum move in with me at that point,' she said. When Jessie fell pregnant with her second child, Scarlett, she and her family went on a lengthy trip to Africa with the intention of starting a travel blog. 'I initially wanted to do a travel blog, but I found that there weren't many young mums in their early twenties like me,' she said. From there, Jessie's account quickly evolved into a page offering advice on how to travel and pack for children. Jessie has since closed the account and now boasts a whopping 39,600 followers on her personal page, as well as a smaller TikTok account. She had a brief foray into podcasting, starting Lockdown Wives with her friend Emma, which aired its first episode in October 2019 and its last in August 2020. Jessie also went on to release seven episodes of the You're So Vain podcast with co-host Miriam Burrows in 2023, but has since focused her attention on Instagram. Her content has expanded beyond the world of motherhood and transitioned into a behind-the-scenes look at the glamorous life she now leads. She has also undergone a dramatic transformation since her online presence in the 2010s, boasting a fuller lips, more contoured nose and a flawless complexion. Jessie has recently stepped out of the shadow of her close knit circle of friends, including Bec. She also boasts her own talent manager with the Roxy Jacenko-owned Ministry of Talent to help expand her online engagement. Just last week, she was seen flaunting her figure as she spruiked a sparkling brown ensemble from WAG Barbara Licuria's Dutch Clothing brand. She has also been seen promoting accessories from Miu Miu, hair company Wella Professionals, and cosmetic business GASP! Beauty. But while Jessie has been landing plenty of her own gigs recently, it would seem she still favours spending time with her dear friend Bec. The pair have been working together on a few brand deals of late, particularly during the Mick Fanning Charity Golf Day. However, this week the friends sent fans wild with excitement when they dropped a glimpse at a mystery project they have been working on. Bec shared a clip to Instagram in which she was dancing to Robert Palmer's 1988 smash hit song Simply Irresistible. She and Jessie recreated the iconic music video for the track as part of a marketing campaign for an upcoming gig. In the clip, Bec and Jessie danced provocatively in skin-tight Lycra dresses in tones of neon pink, orange and purple. They also gyrated in tight black frocks which looked almost painted onto their slender figures. Bec captioned her post with an emoji showing a pair of surprised eyes, but did not explain what the promotional clip was for. Their famous friends lost their minds over the video, with several quick to offer their support in the comments. She has also undergone a dramatic transformation since her online presence in the 2010s, boasting a fuller lips, more contoured nose and a flawless complexion. Pictured right in 2012 'Stop! So so excited for this! And sorry this is just the best announcement ever,' wrote former WAG and Henne founder Nadia Bartel in the comments. 'Exciting!' agreed Olivia Molly Rogers, while Erin Holland chimed in: 'Omg stop it right now.' 'Whatever this is I can't wait,' insisted Married At First Sight star Martha Kalifatidis. Fans were equally thrilled with the video, with one saying, 'Absolutely stunning. Love love love,' while another wrote: 'So excited for this!' Another said, 'This is unbelievably good!' while one more added, 'Get them on MTV pronto.' It's unclear exactly when Jessie and Bec first became friends, but it is likely they struck up their friendship a while after Bec moved to Melbourne in 2008. She relocated to the city from Perth after her husband, Chris Judd, was signed to the Carlton Football Club. Now, Jessie and Bec are often seen on one another's pages, tagging each other in photos and posts which document their time together. They are also frequently spotted attending brand events together, posing for glamorous pictures with their gaggle of fellow socialites. They also partied at Coachella together earlier this year.

Bec wore a $1,200 Celine bucket hat and $940 Celine sunglasses for the outing, along with a black, strappy bikini by Aussie swimsuit brand Bond Eye. Her long, trim pins were on full display, as were her ripped abs, as she frolicked in the water. On Monday, the designer took to Instagram to reveal she and the brood had fled Aussie winter in Melbourne for the summer sun on the Western Coast. In the photos, Bec languished poolside in some skimpy red swimwear with blue accents as she worked on her tan. 'There's no other place in Australia I'd rather be in Winter than Broome, WA' Bec wrote in her caption alongside the images.

Nadia Bartel risks major wardrobe malfunction in EXTREMELY short dress as she parties in Mykonos
Nadia Bartel is having a ball on holiday in Mykonos with boyfriend Peter Dugmore. And the former AFL WAG has been dressing to impress as she shows off her figure during the luxury getaway. The 40-year-old made a bold and daring choice on Wednesday as she stepped out in a tiny polka dot dress. The immensely short cut of the frock ensured that Nadia was flashing her underwear as she worked her angles in the flirty number in a post to Instagram Stories. Nadia debated if she should carry a red designer bag with the look - but in the end ditched it and let her racy dress do the talking. 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. Nadia has been having the time of her life and headed out to a restaurant and day club in Greece on Tuesday. She enjoyed a raucous lunch at the ritzy Spilia Seaside Restaurant with her 'throuple', Peter and their best friend Chris Kontos. Chris made several posts about their get-together, including one photo which showed Nadia cuddling up between him and Peter in a booth. 'Mykonos Hottest Trupple,' he joked in the caption. After sharing a video of the bowl of spaghetti the trio ordered to the table, Chris uploaded another wild clip. In it, the group of friends could be seen hollering and dancing to house music at the restaurant after drinking '45 tequilas'. Nadia also shared her own content of the trip as she cuddled up with Chris and Peter, before posting picturesque views of the seaside. The Henne founder also flaunted her figure in a $650 form-fitting brown dress by Maygel Coronel. She completed her look with a natural makeup look as she hid her eyes behind a pair of dark sunglasses. It comes after Nadia enjoyed a holiday in Paris earlier this month with partner Peter and her two children. The social media sensation shared a series of updates from the luxury trip to Instagram. The images show Nadia cuddling up to Peter and her kids, sons Aston and Henley, as they played tourist in the French city of love. Nadia and Peter are going from strength to strength, having met after Peter slid into the fashionista's Instagram DMs. 'I don't usually respond to Instagram messages, and I don't know if it was because I was feeling lonely, but I responded,' she told her followers on Instagram. 'I looked at his profile and we had some mutual friends and he looked like a nice guy. He also didn't have a lot of posts – and I liked that. 'I really enjoyed the chats, but I never thought I'd ever see this person – it was just nice to chat.' 'I was in a good place with my mental health and I didn't want to put myself in a position where I could be hurt again,' she added. The designer eventually met up with Peter at The Tan, a popular running route in Melbourne, and said they have been together ever since. Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Nadia recently revealed marriage was currently not on the cards for the couple. 'I don't think so,' she laughed. 'You know when you've done that then you're like I don't know of I'd do that again. 'But when you meet someone that you feel like you want to marry, it's a good feeling. We are so happy. He's a good boy.' Nadia and Peter went Instagram official in December 2022. The pair confirmed their relationship by getting hot and heavy in a photo shared to Instagram Stories. Nadia announced her split from retired AFL star Jimmy Bartel in August 2019, five years after they tied the knot on the Bellarine Peninsula.
