Brodie Ryan has been spotted for the first time since confirming her split from AFL great Nathan Buckley.
The former WAG looked visibly downcast during a solo outing in Melbourne.
The 35-year-old was seen walking down trendy Chapel Street on Thursday dressed in black activewear.
She cut a very casual figure in a Country Road jumper teamed with leggings, white socks and worn-in sneakers.
Carrying a black designer handbag on her arm, Brodie appeared deep in thought as she strolled past boutiques and cafes in the fashionable area.
The outing marked a stark contrast to her previous public appearances with Nathan, where the pair always seemed smitten and inseparable.

It is the first public sighting of Brodie since she and Nathan, 52, announced their separation last week in a shock joint statement.
The brunette bombshell made the shock announcement in an Instagram post.
‘To the followers of the “Brodes and Bucks” journey’ she began.
‘After much reflection and consideration, Nath and I have decided to part ways,’ she continued.
‘Thank you for your kind messages and support over the past couple of months of heartache. I am grateful for your kindness and consideration.
‘This decision was not made lightly. We are grateful for the time we shared, the memories created, and the support we received from each other.
‘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.’
Brodie concluded: ‘We appreciate your understanding and kindness over the past couple of months and continuing through this transition period.

‘We kindly ask for privacy as we navigate this new chapter in our lives. Thank you for your continued support and for being a part of our journey.’
The sad ending comes just months after the pair took their relationship to the next level by jetting off to the island paradise of Fiji for a very special family occasion.
‘It’s a big family holiday with all of Nath’s family,’ Brodie told the Herald Sun.
Brodie previously revealed she and Nathan connected over their similar upbringings, after they began dating in 2022.
