Nadia Bartel said her focus is now on her children following her split from husband Jimmy Bartel.
Speaking at an engagement promoting women in Melbourne, the influencer took to the stage where she spoke about how “time poor” she is as she alluded to raising their two boys as a single mum.

“For me, I am so passionate about what I do and that is what I love,” the influencer and clothing entrepreneur said on a panel in front of the entire room.
“I want my children to look up to that to know that mum did something she is passionate about.
“It’s setting goals and putting things in place because when you have children you are so time poor as well.”
Nadia also shared an image of her from the Mercedes event wearing a chic, lemon two-piece knit captioning it with a less than subtle message about how women have supported her following the news that Jimmy has taken up with WAG wannabe, Lauren Mand.
“Thank you Mercedes Benz for having me at your Women Driving Change event, it was great to be a part of it. The energy in the room, women can do it all!”
She was supported in her post, by numerous, high-profile locals.
Steph Claire Smith wrote: “Absolutely [women] can!”
Emma Hawkins, wife of Geelong Cats’ Tom Hawkins, added: “Yeaahhhhh girl! There you are!!!! Leading by example!”
Lana Wilkinson added: “There she is, gorgeous Nards.”
While Queen WAG, Bec Judd, sent her BFF a number of supportive emojis.
Meanwhile, retired AFL star Jimmy was spotted in public for the first time at Sydney Airport on Thursday.
The 35-year-old looked downcast as he tried to dodge the photographer at the domestic terminal and refused to answer any questions about Lauren, who he is said to be in a “long-term relationship” with.
“How long have you known Lauren Mand for?” the thorough pap asked.
“Are there any other women involved in this scandal, Jimmy?”
But Jimmy just kept on walking.
It comes on the same day as a shellshocked Nadia is reportedly “bracing herself” for a flood of humiliating new revelations about her estranged husband Jimmy’s alleged antics, amid reports of apparently lurid text messages from “multiple people”.
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.
