Shellshocked footy WAG Nadia Bartel is reportedly ‘bracing herself’ for a flood of humiliating new revelations about her estranged husband Jimmy Bartel’s alleged antics, amid reports of apparently lurid text messages from ‘multiple people’.
This comes after the disintegration of the couple’s former showpiece marriage, and newspaper headlines linking him to at least two prominent women. Now friends are suggesting the worst is yet to come for a devastated Nadia.
EXCLUSIVE: Jimmy Bartel refuses to speak when questioned about Nadia
According to the Herald Sun’s Page 13, Nadia is cringing at the thought that more dirt is coming and she’ll have to shield her two young sons from the fallout. Now the paper says ‘many of Nadia’s friends’ are speaking out.
‘As is oft the case with a messy split with other parties involved, Nadia’s friends are fuming for their bestie and looking for blood,’ the paper reports.
‘Gobsmacked at what they call a horrible betrayal, they have told Page 13 Nadia is bracing herself for even more women to emerge.’
Amid the dirt that is already coming to the surface, there are now claims that wannabe WAG Lauren Mand – who has been linked to the footy star – is only the first spotlight-loving beauty headed for the headlines.
‘Friends say Nadia has been getting messages that Lauren Mand has long been referring to Jimmy as her boyfriend and wanted news of their relationship to hit the headlines,’ the paper reports.
‘One friend whispered into Page 13’s ear that she was one of many.
‘There were a number of texts from different people, and when we say a number, we mean A LOT.’
Jimmy Bartel’s rumoured relationship with British-based Australian socialite Lauren Mand has been getting a lot of attention- a reality that Lauren reportedly doesn’t mind at all, and other women are said to be envying.
In the past, Lauren has also been linked to St Kilda players Jason Gram and Sam Fisher and is friends with Shane Warne on Facebook.
The “TV personality” linked to retired AFL star Jimmy Bartel amid his split from his wife of five years, Nadia, has also been named this week.
Sharyn Hart, a TV producer on The Project and I’m A Celeb … has been rumoured to have gotten close to Jimmy, a father of two boys, Aston, 3, and Henley, nine months.
But Sharyn, a mother of one, has denied those allegations, telling Daily Mail Australia that claims she was in a relationship with the Geelong Cats star were ‘factually incorrect’.
It has been claimed that Sharyn and Jimmy developed a friendship on the Before the Game, a now defunct AFL talk program on Network Ten.
