Nathan Buckley's ex Brodie Ryan raises eyebrows with comments about the struggles of being a WAG following couple's split: 'Harder than a CEO'
The healthcare professional, who split from the AFL star earlier this year after dating for three years, sat down with the Smile: The Makeover Scoop podcast to discuss the difficulties of being on the footy sidelines.
'Sometimes I would say, seeing my mum do it, seeing my friends do it, being a stay-at-home mum and keeping a home and supporting an AFL footballer would be harder than being a CEO of a company.'
She went on to praise the women behind sports stars who are so easily 'overshadowed' by what their partners do.
'I really take my hat off to women out there that do have the hard slog of being at home, keeping a nice house, looking after their husbands and keeping their day as smooth as you can, while keeping the mayhem of home at bay and looking after yourself and your mental health, your wellbeing and keeping yourself in good nick as well,' she said.

'Seeing these women do it and then get on a red carpet and smile, like it's been an easy year for them... I really take my hat off to them; they each do their own things in their respective fields.'
Brodie and Collingwood great Nathan split earlier this year.
In May, the brunette revealed she'd be moving out of the Melbourne home she purchased with Nathan following their breakup.
She said goodbye to the bayside suburb of Elwood altogether in an emotional Instagram post that showed her enjoying a glass of wine at the local tavern.
'End of an era. Sad to say goodbye to my favourite little community of Elwood,' she captioned the post.
Brodie and Nathan purchased the property together in the highly sought-after suburb and moved into the home in June last year.
Her post came just hours after Brodie announced the pair had decided to part ways.
'To the followers of the "Brodes and Bucks" journey,' she began.
'After much reflection and consideration, Nath and I have decided to part ways,' she continued.
'Thank you for your kind messages and support over the past couple of months of heartache. I am truly grateful for your kindness and consideration.
'This decision was not made lightly, and we are grateful for the time we shared, the memories we created, and the support we received from each other and all of you.
'While we will no longer be a couple, I will always respect Nathan and the friendship that developed between us 3-4 years ago and have a lot of love for him and his boys, and our beautiful dog Tank.'
Brodie concluded: 'We appreciate your understanding and kindness over the past couple of months and continuing through this transition period.
'We kindly ask for privacy as we navigate this new chapter in our lives. Thank you for your continued support and for being a part of our journey. With respect and gratitude, Brodie.'

BREAKING NEWS Astronomer's new CEO issues extraordinary statement suggesting he's THRILLED about Coldplay concert cheating scandal
The new CEO of Astronomer issued an extraordinary statement, appearing to suggest he's thrilled about the Coldplay concert cuddling scandal. The former CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristy Cabot were caught in an embrace when a jumbotron camera panned to them while the band serenaded thousands of fans at Gillette Stadium in Boston on Tuesday. Byron then resigned from his position, leaving Pete DeJoy to step in as interim CEO for the tech company. On Monday, DeJoy took to LinkedIn to announce his new and now official role. 'The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name,' DeJoy wrote. 'I'm stepping into this role with a wholehearted commitment to taking care of our people and delivering for our customers. Astronomer's foundation remains strong, built around the thriving Apache Airflow community,' he went on, adding that the company 'won't let you down.' During the awkward and very public moment that is the talk all over the world, Coldplay's frontman Chis Martin, 48, said: 'Oh look at these two!' when he spotted Byron and Cabot. They then mischievously spun around as Martin added: 'Oh what? Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy.' This is a breaking news story. Updates to follow.

Jeremy Clarkson says he's 'worried' about John Torode after his MasterChef sacking for 'using the N-word on set'
Jeremy Clarkson has revealed he is 'worried' about John Torode after the MasterChef star was sacked for allegedly using the N-word on set. Australian-born Torode, 59, lost his job at MasterChef after two decades over allegations he used the racial slur, which he claims to have 'absolutely no recollection' of. The BBC said on Tuesday that Torode's contract would not be renewed after a report found he had used an 'extremely offensive racist term' following a complaint from a member of staff. Clarkson, who was dismissed from the BBC himself in 2015 following an altercation with a Top Gear producer, commented on Torode's sacking in his latest column for The Sun this week. Admitting he is concerned for the cooking star, Clarkson wrote: 'Funny isn't it how Top Gear was always seen as the bad boy of the BBC. Every week, we'd be in the papers for doing something wrong or saying something inappropriate. 'And as a result, we were always being carpeted by bosses who told us to sit up straight and clean our teeth, and behave ourselves. Ha. It now turns out that, compared to every other show on the Beeb, we were saints. 'That said, I am a bit worried about this John Torode chap from MasterChef. Because he seems to have been sacked for an offence, even though no one can quite say what the offence was. 'He's been told that at a private party seven or eight years ago, he sang a song which someone thought was racist and that as a result, he has to go. Who reported him? Dunno. Was there any context? No one's saying.' It has been previously reported that Torode, who also hosts a cookery show with his wife Lisa Faulkner on ITV, used the N-word while singing along to a Kanye West song during a wrap party in 2019. But BBC News has since reported this was not the incident which led to the complaint upheld by the report. This instead related to another incident a year earlier, when he allegedly used the same word on set after filming an episode of Masterchef and it was directed at a member of staff. The news site added that the upheld allegation of racist language was one of nine complaints made against Torode in the report, which also related to allegations of abusive language towards junior production staff and sexual language, and which were not upheld. These allegations were not upheld as they were unsubstantiated due to a lack of evidence or witnesses. The complaint against Torode was revealed in the report into co-presenter Gregg Wallace's inappropriate behaviour. Wallace, 60, was sacked after more than 40 complaints against him were upheld. The report also included one further complaint which was upheld relating to a third unnamed person, supposedly a MasterChef senior executive who was accused of swearing, according to BBC News. The news site said it had contacted that executive. Meanwhile, a Banijay spokesperson said the allegation is being handled 'appropriately internally'. Last week, Torode said he had 'absolutely no recollection' of the incident and was 'shocked and saddened' by the allegation. 'I would never wish to cause anyone offence,' he added. Responding to his sacking, Torode said: 'I'd hoped that I'd have some say in my exit from a show I've worked on since its relaunch in 2005, but events in the last few says seem to have prevented that.' He said he 'had loved every minute' working on the show but it was 'time to pass the cutlery to someone else'. 'Life is everchanging and ever moving and sometimes personal happiness and fulfilment lay elsewhere,' he added.
