Speaking to Stellar on Sunday, Nadia, 34, admitted ‘every day is tough’ as she adjusts to life as a single mother, saying: ‘This is never what I thought would happen.’
She added that she was trolled by football fans on social media after the breakup was announced last August, which left her in a dark place.
‘I was at the hardest point in my life and then to have articles written that weren’t true, and to have hundreds of hate [comments] on Instagram and the continual pounding… it was difficult,’ continued Nadia.
The designer says she is making sure her children Aston, four, and Henley, one, are supported emotionally through the split.

Nadia added: ‘I want my boys to be aware of their feelings. And if they are feeling a certain way, they can show that feeling. They are allowed to cry and allowed to come to me and say what’s happening’.’
The beauty and ex-husband Jimmy Bartel announced their separation on August 15 last year, but it’s believed they actually broke up two months earlier.
They married in February 2014 in a lavish ceremony on the Bellarine Peninsula. Since splitting with Jimmy, he has moved on with Melbourne socialite, Lauren Mand.
