Alex Pike has been dubbed ‘Australia’s hottest new WAG’ after going public with former Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley several weeks ago.
And as the pair’s romance heats up, photos have surfaced of two of Alex’s previous lovers – both of whom look very different to the 48-year-old AFL great.
The 44-year-old’s ex-partner Leon Siebel – who is believed to be the father of her sons Spencer, Hudson and Jim – is a renewable energy entrepreneur who proudly drives a Tesla believed to be worth more than $60,000.

The chiseled hunk regularly shares inspirational posts about his career on social media, and in June 2019 even got his teenage son Spencer to take part in an effort to save the environment.
‘Scientists estimate that eight million metric tons of plastic pollution enter the oceans each year,’ he wrote. ‘So today my son Spencer and I are out hunting for plastic. I will let you know how we go.’
It’s unclear when exactly Alex and Leon were in a relationship, as neither of them has shared photos of the other since starting their respective Instagram accounts.
However, the cosmetic nurse has shared many photos with her most recent ex-boyfriend, German model Philip van den Hoogenband.

The pair posted photos with each other from October 2016 until November 2018, suggesting they were an item for at least two years.
Unlike Nathan’s rugged exterior, Phillip is clean-shaven with slicked-back hair, and regularly takes to Instagram to flaunt his enviable six-pack and muscular physique.
He is signed to Australia’s leading boutique model agency Giant Management, and has taken part in many catalogue shoots over the years.
One of the photos Alex shared with her ex showed her holding a rose like a scene from The Bachelor, which she captioned: ‘Thank you Channel 10. I got the rose.’

While it’s not known when Alex and Phillip broke up, they had definitely split by May this year – which is when she was pictured with Nathan for the first time.
Meanwhile, the new couple’s romance is said to be ‘effortless’.
‘They are happy. It’s all good. It’s just very easy and comfortable really. They have a genuine connection,’ a friend of Alex’s told the Herald Sun.
The source added that Alex isn’t after fame, and isn’t ‘daunted’ by the attention that comes with being a WAG either.

‘They are just into normal stuff, yoga, natural health, keeping fit and staying positive,’ they said.
Alex is based in South Yarra, just outside Melbourne’s CBD, but also has a home in Albury.
The pair’s relationship emerged just weeks after the champion midfielder announced his split from his wife of 18 years, Tania Minnici, last December.
