Tania Buckley, once considered one of the AFL’s most notable WAGs, separated from Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley 13 months ago.
And on Friday, the blonde raised eyebrows when she was spotted meeting with a famous wedding dress designer in Melbourne.
She was apparently in high spirits as she browsed fabrics and embellishments for a special gown.

Tania was actually helping a friend find the perfect design for her upcoming wedding, reports The Herald Sun.
Tania was giving style advice to longtime friend and Thrive PR founder Leilani Abels.
The pair met with Melbourne fashion designer Jason Grech during their search for the perfect bridal show-stopper.

Meanwhile, Tania appears to be putting her failed marriage behind her.
She split from footy coach Nathan in January last year, but did not confirm their break-up until December.
After being separated for more than a year, Tania made the decision earlier this month to remove Nathan from her Instagram profile.

Tania had triumphantly returned to social media just days earlier to debut her stunning transformation as a single woman.
While she’s changed up her style, she has kept the last name ‘Buckley’ on her Instagram handle – but it’s believed she may have set up another private account under a different username.
February 1 marked the first time Tania had shared anything to social media since confirming her split with Nathan in December.

Tania, who looked glamorous in a spaghetti strap crop top and fitted trousers, beamed as she posed with her friend Jason.
‘Adversity sets you up for amazing things. This human stands out for being the amazing rock any girl could ask for,’ she wrote, paying tribute to Jason.
In the selfie, Tania’s left hand was partially covered, but appeared to show her still wearing a gold band on her ring finger.

Confirmed: In a statement on Instagram in December, the Buckleys confirmed they’d broken up in January 2020 and were co-parenting their sons, Ayce, 12, and Jett, 14
Once known for their show-stopping red carpet appearances and seemingly rock-solid marriage, the pair shocked fans late last year when they confirmed they’d secretly parted ways after 18 years of marriage.
The former AFL golden couple quietly separated in January 2020, but only made the news public via a statement on Tania’s Instagram page in December.
The exes are now co-parenting their two sons, Ayce, 12, and Jett, 14.
After the Magpies crashed out of the AFL finals in Queensland in October, Nathan, 48, moved out of the family home when he returned to Melbourne.
He is reportedly staying at an apartment in South Yarra, which is owned by his friend Paul Roberts, a TLA sports executive.

Rumour: The newly single AFL coach has been romantically linked to cosmetic nurse Alex Pike
Tania’s ex made headlines recently after being romantically linked to two women.
The newly single AFL coach was first linked to cosmetic nurse Alex Pike, then a fashion model 15 years his junior.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Nathan struck up ‘more than a friendship’ with 33-year-old model Christina Dietze, who goes by suga_possum on social media.
Nathan is said to be happily single and not in a committed relationship with anyone.
