‘I’m only very new to that world (of football),’ she said.
‘We keep it very separate, he focuses on his stuff and we make sure that’s an important thing for us.
‘I try to keep some of my private, personal life away from (social media). It’s hard because you don’t want people knowing everything but I do want it to feel real.’
The couple made their first public appearance as a couple at a West Coast’s club champion function back in October 2018.
Nadia is the daughter of Ines Ledger, the wife of Heath’s father Kim.
