Brodie Ryan has opened up on her 'horrible' breakup with AFL star Nathan Buckley.
The healthcare professional admitted that she was left heartbroken by the split but is looking toward the future.
'The first few months were hard, and break-ups are always horrible,' the 36-year-old told the Herald Sun on Wednesday.
'Time heals all wounds. The heartbreak is real, but we'll both be okay.'
Brodie said that she was 'resuming her normal life' but sad that her dreams of being a 'housewife' have been dashed.

'I wanted that responsibility and revelled in that of being a housewife and a little family's support, but unfortunately it didn't end the way I'd hoped' she said.
Brodie added that her life now was a 'little more stress-free with a little less pressure and less responsibility.'
In May, Brodie revealed she'll be moving out of the Melbourne home she purchased with Buckley, following their split.
The brunette revealed in an emotional Instagram post that she is leaving the bayside suburb of Elwood altogether.
Brodie shared an image as she enjoyed a glass of wine at the local tavern.
'End of an era. Sad to say goodbye to my favourite little community of Elwood,' she captioned the post.
