Nadia Bartel is moving on from her marriage breakdown, joining BFF Rebecca Judd on a girls’ trip to New Zealand.
The power WAGs and mega-influencers jetted to Queenstown for a snow-themed trip to launch #RJXJAGGAD, Judd’s third limited edition range for Jaggad, the activewear label she co-owns.
Judd shared photos of the intimate, invitation-only trip also attended by Brownlow stylist, Lana Wilkinson, held on location at Women’s Wellness Retreat.
Judd laughed off a frantic travel schedule, writing on Instagram that the stylish group had “made it barely”.
The trip came a day after Nadia opened up about her “painful” marriage breakdown to Jimmy Bartel on Seven’ striptease reality show, Ladies Night.
“It’s been a tough time personally for me recently,’’ mother-of-two Nadia said.
“I’m hoping with Ladies Night it will give me more confidence.
“Obviously we’re there for the cause, but I just 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.
“As awkward as we’re feeling, I’m just trying to think of the cause.”

‘PAINFUL’: NADIA BARTEL OPENS UP ABOUT SPLIT
Nadia filmed the show months after giving birth to her youngest son, Henley, in October last year. Shot months ago, her estranged husband Jimmy was in the audience during the filming but was edited out by Seven before the show aired.
“I was so post-partum and in the throws of being a mum, so it was challenging and the show was shot up in Sydney … so I brought the boys with me and had my mum there to help. I’d be up all night with the little one, then filming the show in the day,” Nadia said about the show.
On Sunday, Bartel attended Judd’s VVVIP launch of #RJXJAGGAD in Melbourne, where Judd described their close bond as “women supporting women”.
“I think what’s great about Melbourne is everyone supports each other and we are a big collective group of women supporting women and it’s a great environment to be in,’’ Judd told the Herald Sun.
Speaking to News Corp Australia, Nadia revealed that she will keep her married surname for now amid reports her ex is already in a new relationship with London-based socialite, Lauren Mand.
Nadia and Jimmy share two sons, Aston, 3 and Henley, 11 months.
“Although I’m heartbroken, I don’t want to comment specifically on what’s been reported about Jim’s trip to the UK as I don’t think that is in anyone’s interests,” Nadia said in a statement to News Corp Australia in the wake of the split, announced in August.
“My single focus now is to continue to protect, care and provide for my two beautiful boys as this is a personal matter.”
