It comes after Alex and Collingwood Magpies coach Nathan, 48, were pictured together for the very first time on Wednesday.
The romance between the new couple is said to be ‘effortless’.

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,’ the pal said.
