AFL great Nathan Buckley reveals he has secretly SPLIT with his wife of 18 years and releases an emotional statement revealing the reasons for their surprising breakup
Collingwood head coach Nathan Buckley and wife Tania have split after 18 years of marriage.
The AFL couple issued a statement via Tania’s Instagram page on Friday, publicly announcing they had actually split 11 months ago in January.
They have since been co-parenting their two sons Ayce, 12, and Jett, 14.
‘It has been a tough and challenging year for every family and for ours included,’ the statement read.
‘It is with the utmost of love and respect for each other and a true commitment to our sons, that we made a decision to separate in January.
‘We remain dedicated parents and in the interests of our boys, we ask for our family to be given the privacy that is needed.
‘We thank everyone in advance for understanding our request and for the unconditional love and support we have received throughout our marriage.’
After the Magpies lost the AFL Grand Final in Queensland, Buckley moved out of the family home once he returned to Melbourne.
More to come.
