Former AFL power couple Nadia and Jimmy Bartel announced their split in August 2019, after five years of marriage.
And fashion designer Nadia, 35, seemed to have heartbreak on her mind on Thursday when she shared a cryptic quote about moving on from ‘past chapters’.
She posted a meme on Instagram which read: ‘Once you officially decide to leave old situations behind, your mind will settle down, your heart will automatically feel at ease, and your soul will forever be grateful for the relief you provided.’

The post continued: ‘There’s no need to bring forth expired energy form past chapters into your new one. Wipe the slate clean and reignite your spirit with fresh, healthy vibes.
‘Remind your ego who’s in charge; you’ve come too far and worked too hard to let old habits reappear at this point of your journey.
‘You don’t have to see the amount of magic the universe has put aside for you to know that it’s there; simply trust that your divine process will lead you straight to it.
‘Something amazing is about to fill all the spaces in your life you’ve managed to clear. Get ready. Pretty soon you’ll be walking straight into the chapter of your dreams.’
Contemplative: The quote’s themes of leaving behind ‘old situations’ and ‘wipe the slate clean’ no doubt resonated with Nadia, whose life was upended when her marriage fell apart in 2019
Moved on: Jimmy Bartel’s romance with Lauren Mand first made headlines in 2019, following his very public split from his ex-wife Nadia
The themes of leaving behind ‘old situations’ and ‘wipe the slate clean’ no doubt resonated with Nadia, whose life was upended when her marriage fell apart in 2019.
She has found love again since the split, and is now dating personal trailer Nathan Brodie. The former WAG is also focusing on her clothing label Henne.
Shortly after her split from Jimmy, Nadia took a thinly veined swipe at the retired Geelong Cats star while attending a female empowerment event in Melbourne.

The mother of two posted on Instagram at the time: ‘Women can do it all!’
‘Thank you Mercedes-Benz Melbourne and Mercedes-Benz Melbourne Airport for having me at your Women Driving Change event it was great to be a part of it. The energy in the room. Women can do it all!’
Underneath the post, the likes of fellow WAGs Bec Judd and Erin Holland commented, showing their support for Nadia.

Nadia’s cryptic post comes just days after her Jimmy’s new girlfriend Lauren Mand hit back at rumours she’d split from the Brownlow Medal winner.
The 31-year-old Melbourne socialite changed her profile picture on Instagram to a photo of herself and Jimmy – sending a clear message to her detractors.
The photo was taken on December 25 as the couple spent Christmas together with Jimmy’s sons, Aston, five, and Henley, two.
Kids first: During a 2019 luncheon, Nadia noted that her little boys were her biggest priority post-split. ‘Everything comes second to that,’ she said.

Proof of life: Lauren Mand (right) has hit back at rumours she’s split from former AFL player Jimmy Bartel (left). In a telling move, the 31-year-old Melbourne socialite recently changed her Instagram profile picture to this photo of herself and Jimmy on Christmas Day
Her boys: Lauren’s profile picture was taken on December 25 as the couple spent Christmas together with Jimmy’s sons, Aston and Henley. Jimmy also shared this photo to his own account of himself with his children, but didn’t post a picture of Lauren and the boys together
The pair had been the subject of break-up rumours in December after fans noticed it’d been months since Jimmy had shared a photo with his girlfriend online.
In fact, their last photo together on Jimmy’s account was taken in March last year, during their holiday in Japan.
The notoriously private couple rarely post photos together these days, and Lauren’s Instagram account is private with only 54 followers.
