Brodie Ryan's New Romance: Hard Launch After Buckley Split

Brodie Ryan, 35, has "hard launched" a new relationship on social media, approximately 12 months after her separation from AFL personality Nathan Buckley. The update came over the weekend via an Instagram post featuring her new partner, reportedly a businessman from Perth named Dave. Ryan even traveled to Western Australia, forgoing Melbourne's F1 Grand Prix, to spend time with Dave. She had previously hinted at the burgeoning romance, suggesting flights were becoming frequent.

Adding significant momentum to their new relationship, Dave has expressed his willingness to move to Melbourne for Ryan. This development aims to overcome the challenges of a long-distance romance, with Ryan stating they will "take it as it comes and see how it unfolds." The couple reportedly spent New Year's together in Sorrento and shared photos from Margaret River, drawing positive reactions from followers.

Ryan and Buckley announced their separation in May of the previous year, concluding a period of much speculation. Their statement emphasized mutual respect and gratitude for the time shared. Prior to this, Ryan and Buckley, who had a 17-year age difference, began dating in 2022 and connected over shared values and a passion for personal development and mental wellbeing.
