Nadia Bartel has shared new details about her relationship with boyfriend Peter Dugmore.
The former WAG, 38, revealed she’s been dating Peter for three years and they kept their relationship secret at the beginning.
‘I’ve been dating him for almost three years. But he is a nice guy,’ Nadia said during an appearance on The Morning Show on Monday.
She also revealed Peter works in the fitness industry and owns several gyms.
Nadia and Peter went Instagram official in December 2022 by getting hot and heavy in a photo shared to Instagram Stories.
In August, the former WAG referred to her beau as ‘The One’ in a video in which she reflected on finding love again.
In the Instagram clip, Nadia spoke to her fans while applying fake tan and dressed in workout gear.
‘I felt like my life had ended, which is silly to think now,’ she began, discussing her divorce from Jimmy Bartel after 11 years together, in 2019.

‘You do think you’ll never be able to date again – I know I did feel like that. I felt like having two small children and not having time for anything else.’
She continued: ‘It was really hard for me as well because I’d been with my ex since I was 22 or 23, so to even think about dating again felt like the most foreign thing to me, and I didn’t even know how I’d handle any of that.’
Nadia went on to say that she ‘didn’t even want to meet anyone’ and was ‘so happy with my two boys’.
However her interest was piqued when she got an Instagram message from Peter.
‘I don’t usually respond to Instagram messages, and I don’t know if it was because I was feeling lonely, but I responded,’ she said.

‘I looked at his profile and we had some mutual friends and he looked like a nice guy. He also didn’t have a lot of posts – and I liked that.’
Nadia continued: ‘I really enjoyed the chats but I never thought I’d ever see this person – it was just nice to chat.
‘I was in a good place with my mental health and I didn’t want to put myself in a position where I could be hurt again.’
The Henne designer eventually met up with Peter at The Tan, a park in Melbourne, and said they have been together ever since.
‘I never thought I’d meet this person but there was something about seeing him and hearing his voice, his mannerisms, I just felt an instant spark and energy, which was crazy because I hadn’t felt that at all with anyone since my split,’ she said.

‘That feeling of connecting with someone and an energy, I feel like it’s a real thing’.
‘You have to be careful with that and we took it very slowly and have a great relationship now because of it,’ she said.
Nadia also said she and Peter have discussed having children.
‘I’m older now so I don’t know when or if that could happen but it’s nice getting to the point where you can feel like that again,’ she added.
Nadia has two sons with ex-husband Jimmy, Aston and Henley.
