Brodie broke her silence about her romance with the football star in August.

The brunette beauty, 34, who is a business manager in women's health at Epworth, told the Herald Sun that she and Buckley, 51, bonded during their similar upbringings.

Despite their 17-year age difference, the Melbourne businesswoman said they have so much in common and push each other every day to be the best versions of themselves.

'Helping others become the best versions of themselves and prioritize their mental health and wellbeing and giving back to others is a passion that both Nath and I have always shared and these topics and various initiatives had a big impact in the beginning attraction to each other,” she told the publication.

“We had a very similar upbringing and therefore share a lot of the same values,” she continued.

“I have always been passionate about helping others where I can, and inspiring a partner who carries out the same passion every day with their family, friends and the wider community.”

Brodie said Nathan's profile has given him the opportunity to help others through hardship and give back, and that she is “inspired” by the work he does.

Struck by her new love, she said: 'He is a beautiful person.'

The pair started dating last year, and the AFL star is clearly just as smitten with Brodie as he often expresses his love for her on social media.
