Brendan Fevola’s wife Alex admits she feels ‘boxed in’ as a WAG and overshadowed by his AFL career

‘People are less likely to take you seriously’: Brendan Fevola’s wife Alex admits she feels ‘boxed in’ as a WAG and overshadowed by her husband’s AFL career

She was a successful model, photographer and businesswoman long before she married AFL Brandon Fevola.

So it’s understandable that Alex Fevola (née Cheatham) feels frustrated her husband’s high-profile career often overshadows her own business triumphs.

Speaking to Stellar Magazine this weekend, the 42-year-old admitted that being labelled a WAG is a ‘double-edged’ sword.

‘People are less likely to take you seriously’: Brendan Fevola’s wife Alex (pictured) has admitted she feels ‘boxed in’ as a WAG and overshadowed by her husband’s AFL career 

‘I’ve got my own career and my own aspirations, my own dreams, and Brendan is super supportive of my career, and I’m really supportive of his,’ she told the publication.

Alex said that while being married to the AFL star has its perks, she sometimes feels ‘boxed in’ by the label.  

She said: ‘I do think you get boxed into a certain category as a WAG and people are less likely to take you seriously.’

‘People all the time assume [my business and photography career] is a new thing, and I’m like, ‘No, I was doing this well before I met Brendan.’ 

Despite this, Alex said she feels grateful for the lifestyle and opportunities that come with baring married to a famous sportsman. 

Brendan and Alex married in 2005 but divorced in 2014.
