After being separated for more than a year, Tania made the decision earlier this month to remove Nathan from her Instagram profile. 

Tania had triumphantly returned to social media just days earlier to debut her stunning transformation as a single woman, updating her fashion sense and paying tribute to friends who had supported her. 

While she’s changed her look, Tania has kept the last name ‘Buckley’ on her Instagram handle.
