Nathan Buckley's ex-girlfriend Brodie Ryan shows him what he's missing as she busts out of a strapless gown at Melbourne gala and poses with AFL star Campbell Brown

Brodie Ryan was dressed to impress when she attended the Dress for Success gala in Melbourne on Saturday.

Nathan Buckley's ex-girlfriend ensured all eyes were on her at The Langham, wowing onlookers in a black gown that made the most of her sensational curves.

The sleek design featured a daring neckline adorned with glittering gold embellishments that made her ample cleavage the star of the show. 

The 37-year-old added to the look with a classic clutch and delicate jewellery. 

Brodie later shared a photo with former Hawthorn player Campbell Brown, 42, who looked dapper in a black suit and tie as the pair posed together in front of the event's branded media wall. 

'A powerful night for an even more powerful cause,' she captioned the images shared to Instagram.

Brodie's high-profile relationship with former Collingwood coach and AFL great Nathan ended in May last year.

The former AFL star, 54, and the brunette bombshell made the shock announcement in an Instagram Stories post made by Brodie.

'To the followers of the "Brodes and Bucks" journey,' the former WAG began.

'After much reflection and consideration, Nath and I have decided to part ways.'

'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,' she continued. 

'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.' 

The sad ending came just months after the pair took their relationship to the next level by jetting off to the island paradise of Fiji for a vacation with Nathan's family.

Brodie previously revealed she and Nathan connected over their similar upbringings when they began dating in 2022.

Despite their 17-year age gap, the Melbourne businesswoman said the couple had so much in common and that they push each other every day to be their best selves.

'Helping others be the best version of themselves and prioritising their mental health and wellbeing and giving back to others is a passion both Nath and I have always shared. These topics were a big attraction to each other in the beginning,' she told the Herald Sun in 2023.

'We had very similar upbringings and share a lot of the same values due to this,' she continued.

Their relationship came after Nathan split with wife Tania in December 2020, after 18 years of marriage.

The couple share two sons, Jett and Ayce.
