Nathan Buckley’s girlfriend Alex Pike wears a large diamond ring on what

Nathan Buckley’s girlfriend Alex Pike sets tongues wagging as she wears a huge diamond on her ring finger… but is it all that it seems?


She’s been the talk of the town ever since her relationship with former AFL coach Nathan Buckley came to light just weeks ago.

And Alex Pike certainly sent tongues wagging on Thursday, as she shared a string of pictures wearing a huge diamond ring – which at first glance appeared to be sitting on her engagement finger.

While upon further inspection the whopping piece of bling is clearly a mirror image of her right hand, the smitten cosmetic nurse, 44, couldn’t wipe the smile off her face as she shared the sneaky selfies with followers.

In one of the pictures, Alex flaunted her figure in an extremely tight-fitting peach dress – with the dazzling ring on full display in the mirror.

In another, she pouted defectively while wearing a black long-sleeved shirt and baggy trousers.

She captioned the photo: ‘Healthy body, healthy mind: happy life.’

As usual, the hottest new WAG was inundated with comments from followers saying how ‘gorgeous’ and ‘happy’ she looks.

Alex and former Collingwood coach Nathan, 48, were pictured together for the first time last month.

The romance between the new couple, who have known each other since at least the start of the year, is said to be ‘effortless’.

‘They are happy. It’s all good. It’s just very easy and comfortable really. They have a genuine connection,’ a friend of the couple told the Herald Sun.

The source added that Alex isn’t after fame, and isn’t ‘daunted’ by the attention that comes with being a WAG either. 

‘They are just into normal stuff, yoga, natural health, keeping fit and staying positive,’ they said.

Alex is a mother of three based in South Yarra, just outside Melbourne’s CBD, but also has a home in Albury.

The pair’s relationship emerged just weeks after the champion midfielder announced his split from his wife of 18 years, Tania Minnici, last December.
