Nathan Buckley’s cosmetic nurse ex Alex Pike, 45, shows off her age-defying complexion as she heads to dinner with a gal pal in Sydney
Nathan Buckley’s ex-girlfriend Alex Pike turned up the heat on Saturday as she stepped out in Sydney‘s swanky Potts Point to have dinner with a gal pal.
The cosmetic nurse, 45, flaunted her long legs in a tight navy mini-dress with long sleeves, matching heels and stockings.
Her age-defying complexion was enhanced with rosy blush, mascara and glossy pink lipstick, while her brown hair tumbled down her shoulders.
She carried a dark jacket in one hand and a YSL handbag in the other, while accessorising her look with elegant gold hoop earrings and a red manicure.
Alex shot to fame after dating Collingwood coach Nathan in early 2021, before splitting from him in January 2022.

Back in June, Alex broke her silence on her failed romance in an exclusive interview with Daily Mail Australia, to promote the relaunch of her eight-week kickstart program, Inside Out Beauty.
The mother-of-three cautiously discussed her time with the 50-year-old former footy star and the scrutiny surrounding their relationship, saying: ‘I’m very grateful for this chapter in my life but I’m more than my ex.
‘I’m a mum, an entrepreneur, a woman who struggles and juggles with balance, but I’m always looking in and trying to do better for myself and those I support.’

When asked if being thrust into the public eye had been challenging, Alex admitted it was never a big problem.
‘At the time I never felt like I was under scrutiny,’ she reflected.
The Albury-based nurse admitted she is no longer speaking to the divorced dad-of-two, offering a simple ‘no’ when asked, and insisted that she’s excited to shift the spotlight from her past relationship to her beauty business.
Pike and Bucks made headlines in 2021 when they started dating shortly after the father-of-two confirmed that he’d split with his wife of 18 years, Tanya Minnici.
The pair appeared to have ended things for good by 2022, and a few months later the AFL icon confirmed that he was dating 34-year-old business manager and Pike lookalike Brodie Ryan.
