AFL legend Nathan Buckley and girlfriend Brodie Ryan put on a loved-up display at Cirque Du Soleil Luzia premiere in Melbourne with his sons

Nathan Buckley and his girlfriend Brodie Ryan were all smiles on Wednesday when they attended the Cirque Du Soleil Luzia premiere in Melbourne.

The AFL star, 51, rocked a laidback monochrome look in a black jumper and matching jeans paired with fresh white sneakers.

His brunette hair was freshly styled and he completed his look with a salt and pepper beard.

He was joined on the red carpet by his beautiful girlfriend Brodie, 34, and his two sons, Jett, 17, and Ayce, 15.

Brodie looked effortlessly stylish in a black blouse, jeans and black open-toed heels paired with an unbuttoned tan overcoat.

She wore her jet-black hair tied back and a light layer of makeup brought out her striking facial features.

The lovebirds looked to be having the time of their lives attending the exclusive event in Melbourne with Nathan’s two sons, who he shares with ex-wife Tania Minnici.

The brunette beauty previously told the Herald Sun that she and Buckley connected over their similar upbringings, after they began dating in 2022.

Despite their 17-year age gap, the Melbourne businesswoman said they have so much in common and that they push each other every day to be their best selves.

‘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. These topics were a big attraction to each in the beginning,’ she said. 

‘We had very similar upbringings and share a lot of the same values due to this,’ she continued. 

‘I have always been enthusiastic about helping others where I can, and to have a partner that exercises this same passion every day with his family, friends, and the wider community inspires me.’

Brodie said Nathan’s public profile has given him the opportunity to help others through hardships and to give back, and that she is ‘inspired’ by the work he does.

Smitten by her love, she gushed: ‘He is a beautiful person.’

The former Collingwood player is clearly besotted with Brodie, as he often expresses his love for her on social media.
