The fashion blogger celebrated her the milestone at her home in Melbourne surrounded by some of her closest friends and family. According to the Daily Mail, her ex-husband Jimmy Bartel— who she split with two months ago— was absent from the festivities.
During the event, the newly single socialite shared a series of photos and videos from the party, some of which showed off an elaborate balloon archway, a giant antipasto table and a jungle-themed cake.
Dressed in a Ralph Lauren shirt and striped pants, Nadia also shared a photo of Henley sitting on a table next to a three-tier cake with the caption: “My beautiful birthday boy. Big love to @nikoscakes for making cakes that taste even better than they look [we got berry and white chocolate and honeycomb crunch – soo yum] and cannoli from @roccos_delicatessen soo delish (sic).”
Late last week Nadia posted an adorable tribute to her son on Instagram, sharing some never-before-seen snaps of her family on the day of his actual birthday. Not surprisingly, his dad Jimmy did not feature in any of the snaps, nor did she acknowledge him in the caption.
Celebrating her youngest son’s first birthday, the stunning fashion blogger took to Instagram to post a few never-before-seen videos and photos of Henley… And, not surprisingly, his dad Jimmy did not feature in any of the snaps, nor did she acknowledge him in the caption.
“Happy 1st birthday to my smiley, happy and cheeky little boy who loves to bounce to a beat even more than his mumma,” the newly single mum-of-two wrote beside the adorable tribute.
“You make Aston and I laugh every single day. Love you H ❤️ (my favourite video of him will always be this one when he first opened his eyes at a few days old-even though my voice is annoying 🙈)”
The gorgeous photos were met with hundreds of kind comments, with many Australian WAGS, celebrities and socialites praising the 33-year-old for raising such a beautiful boy!
“He is so beautiful,” fitness model Steph Claire Smith commented, adding four love-heart eyed emojis. “Happy Birthday Henley! X” her close friend Bec Judd also wrote.
Nadia’s post came days after professional athlete Jimmy was pictured out and about with his girlfriend— who he has allegedly been dating for some time now. Although they’re yet to speak about their romance, Lauren seemingly confirmed they were an item two weeks ago when she told her Instagram followers she was “content and couldn’t be happier” with her life. While little is known about the socialite, a source close to the situation recently told the Herald Sun that she’s enjoying life in the spotlight, and is allegedly happy news of their unexpected romance has grabbed headlines.
Some have even claimed the aspiring WAG has been trying to break into their social circles for years in the hope of elevating her status.
Last month, new details emerged about the footy player’s new love interest, with a social media post confirming Lauren had relocated from Melbourne to London less than three months before Jimmy flew to the British capital. While this information may seem irrelevant, knowing that Lauren had already relocated when Jimmy visited London adds more weight to Nadia’s previous comments about her ex-husband’s holiday.
“I don’t want to comment specifically on what’s been reported about Jim’s trip to the UK as I don’t think it’s in anyone’s interest,” Nadia told the Herald Sun.
Jimmy announced his split from his wife on August 15. Speaking about the breakdown of their marriage, he admitted the situation “is not great”.
“I am probably not going to provide any commentary on it,” he said. “I know I am in the public eye and people are interested, but it is a private matter and I ask for a bit of respect because obviously Nadia and the boys [are] involved.

Nadia has since moved out of their home and into her parents’ house. According to The Sunday Telegraph, the mother-of-two will not be changing her name back to Nadia Coppolino in the wake of their separation.
