Despite Nadia Bartel’s bitter split with AFL star Jimmy Bartel, she has reportedly decided to keep his famous surname.
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.
While she did not directly address the decision in her interview with the publication, Nadia opened up about her decision to appear on Channel Seven's The All New Monty: Ladies’ Night on Sunday.
“I was so post-partum and in the throws of being a mum, so it was a challenging and the show was shot up in Sydney,” Nadia said, adding that she brought her sons Henley, 11 months, and Aston, 3, to the filming, along with her mother.

The former AFL WAG recently told Who that she drew strength from the survivor stories of Rachelle Panitz, Founder and Managing Director of So Brave, and Tina Doueihi, who has modelled for the calendar and is an ambassador for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
“Their stories were beautiful and just so incredible. You don’t realise that [breast cancer] can affect so many young women as well – and neither of those women have a family history, either,” Nadia said.
After seeing the calendar, Nadia said she thought the result was “amazing.”
“I’ve never seen anything like it. These women decked out in paint – it looks like a big piece of art.”

The 34-year-old also addressed her split with Jimmy in The All New Monty: Ladies’ Night.
In a piece-to-camera, Nadia appeared to tear up as she mentioned their split, calling it “so painful.”
“It's been a tough time personally for me recently. It's just so painful,” the Instagram star said as footage and photos of the young family aired.
Nadia seemed to well up momentarily, before continuing to discuss her appearance in the charity burlesque show.
“I'm hoping with Ladies' Night it will give me more confidence,” she admitted with a smile. “Obviously we're there for the cause, but I think it will be great for me to put myself out there, doing something that is definitely totally out of my comfort zone. I think it will give me a whole new load of confidence.”
