Alex Fevola, 48, shows off her incredibly youthful looks in sleek black ensemble as she attends Melbourne Autumn Ball
Alex Fevola was looking decades younger than her years as she stepped out at a glitzy event on Thursday. The 48-year-old was turning heads in a black ensemble as she attended the Melbourne Autumn Ball. The longtime partner of AFL great Brendan Fevola opted for a tailored blazer style coat that skimmed her trim figure. Underneath, she had on a black maxi dress with some sheer lace detailing across the bust. Alex added a pair of pointed heels and carried a quilted clutch purse as well as adding a dainty necklace.

Alex wore her long, blonde hair down around her fresh, line-free face in soft waves. For makeup, she chose a warm, rosy palette with a pastel pink lipstick and some glowing highlighter. It comes after Alex got candid about her main skin concerns in an interview with 9Honey. Alex revealed she spends up to $1,600 per year on beauty products and treatments, and gets 'Botox a couple of times a year' to combat general wrinkles. 'I don't like to be frozen but I do like to soften the furrow between my brows. So a little Botox every five months, I find, works for me,' Alex said of her regimen. The mother of four added that her main skin concerns in her forties are 'just general ageing' and finds Botox 'the most effective against general wrinkles'. She also revealed she spends 'maybe $800 per year on products' and a further '$800 per year on treatments'. Alex, who often shares her beauty secrets on social media, listed a luminous foundation, a face palette and mascara as her 'go-to' products in a 2020 interview with House of Wellness. The beauty entrepreneur explained how a face palette - often consisting of an eye shadow, bronzer, blush and highlighter - allows her to transform her 'whole face within five minutes'. Alex said her ultimate beauty hack was multi-purpose products such as cream tints, which can be applied to the eyes, cheeks and lips for an 'all-over fresh glow'. Radio presenter Brendan and make-up artist Alex married in 2005 but divorced in 2014. However, their separation was short-lived, with the pair reuniting later that same year, before getting engaged for the second time in 2016. Brendan proposed to Alex in front of their children shortly after being crowned the winner of the 2016 season of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! At the time, Brendan told radio host Dave Thornton on the Fifi and Dave show: 'I was a bit nervous, I didn't think she'd say yes. 'Because we've been married before and obviously been divorced. It was really beautiful with the kids there.' While the couple have been engaged for a number of years, they are yet to tie the knot for the second time.

Footy champ Brendan Fevola announces shock career move with starring role in feature film
Famed Australian footy star Brendan Fevola is set to make his movie debut. The former AFL champ, 44, will step before the cameras on Tuesday for the new Australian feature film Yesterday's Hero. Produced by Victorian filmmaker Cameron Miller the 1980s set film follows the rise to fame of an labourer who launches a career as a comedian. No details about Brendan's role have emerged, however the Herald Sun reported on Monday that the fan favourite will be sharing scenes with another former AFL great Warwick Capper. The publication said that the pair will travel to Melbourne 's Lalor Football Club to shoot their big screen moment. The cast also includes US actor Corey Feldman and former Neighbours actor Krista Vendy and comedian Chris Franklin. Yesterday's Hero is being made as a tribute to Miller's son, Shaun who died in 2012 from congenital heart disease (CHD), twelve years after the filmmaker started shooting the the film. Miller later founded the Shaun Miller Foundation for CHD sufferers. It comes after Brendan shocked his Fox FM co-stars in march when he revealed he would be stepping away from the program. The celebrity footy star told listeners he would be competing on the upcoming season of Channel Ten 's The Amazing Race and would be absent for some time. 'I'm leaving the show... not for good, though,' he began. 'I got an opportunity last year to do something with my 18-year-old daughter Leni - to travel the world on the TV show The Amazing Race! So, I won't be on the show as of Monday.' Co-host Fifi Box then wished Brendan all the best and asked if he had any idea when he would be returning. 'I could be away for a couple of days, a couple of weeks, depends on when I get eliminated... I am not worried about the race, I am worried about whether Leni and I punch on or not. That could be our elimination,' he joked. Brendan has co-hosted the top-rating Fox Melbourne breakfast show since April 2016. In October, Brendan teased fans about a massive career change. The Carlton Football club legend said he was itching to get back into footy as a coach. His shock announcement came after he spent a day training with Collingwood's AFLW team. 'It makes me wanna be a coach,' an emotional Fevola told his co-hosts Fifi Box and Nick Cody at the time 'You wouldn't understand how much I loved it,' he said. 'I was up and about all day yesterday. I haven't trained for any of the teams I've played for in the last 14 years, not once.' Fevola, who rose to fame as a top goal kicker for the Carlton Football Club's AFL premier side in the early 2000s, said he was originally asked along to the training session by Collingwood CEO Craig Kelly.

‘Painful truth' the AFL needs to address in wake of Adam Selwood's death
Calls for the AFL to implement a mental health round are becoming deafening in the wake of Adam Selwood's shock death. The 41-year-old's death on Saturday left the footy world in mourning with his passing coming three months after his twin brother Troy took his own life. Their death's join an ever-growing list of former players to have died far too young and have sparked conversations around the need for more to be done within the league. Former players have begun to unite in their calls for the AFL to go a step further and become the voice for change with a mental health round. While the AFL have previously stated that implementing a mental health round remains a consideration, the time has come for the league to act. Former Carlton and Brisbane star Brendan Fevola has been vocal in his call to action and said the league isn't doing enough in shining a light on the mental health struggles that men endure. 'We see it all the time that players have mental health problems, and I just feel like the AFL aren't equipped ... or doesn't shine enough light on mental health for men,' Fevola said in February following the deaths of Troy Selwood and Adam Hunter. 'It doesn't get spoken about enough ... when I was going through some problems, I never told anyone. I thought I was this big footy player. I earn a bit of money, and if I said something I thought people wouldn't like me.' An internal study released by the AFL Players' Association in April showed that the number of former players seeking mental health support rose 23.6 per cent in 2024 compared to 2023. From 2021 to 2024, the number of former players seeing a mental health expert has doubled. It shows an alarming trend in what players are going through after they hang up the boots and vacate the bubble that is life inside the AFL. Bernie Vince spoke about his journey in the league and how being in it from such a young age can take a toll on the mental health of any player. The 39-year-old, who entered the league at 20, said players are immediately thrust onto a pedestal and coming down from that is the hardest part of it all. 'I think the Selwood family hits home because they just seemed like, well they were great football family,' Vince said on SAFM's Bernie & Emma G for Breakfast. 'But they reflect the painful truth that a lot of retired athletes go through. 'Whether you like it or not, no matter what sport you play, if you're a professional athlete at the top level, you get put on a pedestal. 'You get sucked into it, I got sucked into it of thinking that you're better than other people at stages, which it's just the sad truth of it. 'You get put up to a place where you get treated differently and you like it. You like the feeling of that because you feel special and you get all the perks that come with it. 'Falling into that is a lot easier than falling out of it. But falling out of it is the hard one. It can swallow you up and you're so young as well when you enter that world.' Vince said the league does so much to raise awareness for major issues going on in society, but says the time has come for a mental health round to be implemented. 'I think it's time for the AFL, we have a lot of rounds to identify different things in society and I think it's time for a mental health round,' Vince said. 'They have indigenous round. We have lots of different rounds. We just had indigenous around on the weekend to raise awareness. 'I think it's time to do that for mental health. There's been a lot of chat around it. I think it's time now.' Despite calls for the AFL to take action, North Melbourne premiership player and mental health advocate Wayne Schwass said he had approached the league on several occasions but was informed that there were 'too many themed rounds'. 'I am not sure why, or the reluctance of the AFL, but what I am sure of is one loss of life is too many,' Schwass said to The Age. The 56-year-old said the league could be hugely powerful and would help remove the stigma that surrounds mental health. 'It takes courageous leadership,' Schwass said. 'I would urge the AFL, the leaders, to see this as an opportunity to honour the lives lost … but proactively begin to change attitudes, perceptions and abolish stigma. There is an enormous opportunity here if they are willing to be brave and bold. We need to be better. We don't need to be the experts, I am not expecting them to be the experts, but the AFL needs to take a seat at this table. 'There is another reason why we should have a themed mental health round: because it is the number one reason what the players are challenged with and are confronting.' Former Eagle Brayden Ainsworth said overcoming the stigma surrounding mental health is the biggest hurdle for players. But he implored the league to continue to step up and help remove it so players don't feel the need to hide and push their emotions down. 'The stigma still plays a massive role and as much as it's getting talked about and getting better, I still think there's that stigma behind it,' Ainsworth said to The West Australian. 'You're built to be tough, you're built to be self-reliant, hyper-focused and you struggle to see talking and opening up and asking for help as a strength. We keep continuing to see it as weakness.' As Oscar Allen so perfectly put it on Sunday night: 'I just urge anybody out there who is struggling with anything, please reach out. Helplines, friends, reach out to each other.'

Brendan Fevola's huge real estate play pays off
Brendan Fevola jumping on the bed has helped sell a Parkville apartment to a devoted Blues fan. The Carlton forward from 1999-2009 also played a season with the Brisbane Lions in a 204-game career that included two NAB Cup premierships, two Coleman Medals and three pics for the All-Australian Team — as well as being inducted into the Carlton Football Club Hall of Fame. Now a successful breakfast radio host for Fox FM alongside Fifi Box and Nick Cody, Fevola was earlier this year asked to help promote a Parkville apartment that had lingered on the market for 148 days in 2024. T he double-storey address high above The Avenue was then taken over by OBrien Real Estate's John Rombotis, who played AFL with the Fitzroy Lions, Port Adelaide and Richmond. At the same time as relaunching the home for sale in March, Rombotis arranged a video with Fevola promoting the home for sale. In a bizarre twist, the eventual buyer had inspected the property during its previous stint on the market but, being a devoted Blues fan, after hearing Fevola talking about the experience of doing a video for it on the radio and seeing the clip which included Fevola jumping on the bed, renewed their interest in the home. Rombotis said negotiations for the four-bedroom apartment with a view out to Ikon Park in the park opposite had started low, but ended in a deal within the home's $2.9m-$3.2m advertised price guide at the end of its planned sales campaign. The property features Miele and Gaggenau cooking appliances, a stainless-steel kitchen with a butler's pantry, an expansive balcony with CBD skyline views, and a spa bath in the main bedroom's ensuite.
