After she split with Strahan she started dating a woman, Maegan Luxa, who she played footy with in Frankston.They announced their engagement in December 2017 but they split the following April.

“It’s when I met you that something clicked,’’ Nation posted of Luxa at the time.

“There was a shift within me and I knew everything was about to change in the most beautiful way.

“You gave me a safe place to discover and understand who I am. You were there when it all made sense and you were there when none of it did.”

Nation then went on Bachelor in Paradise last year and had a short-lived romance with Bill Goldsmith. She also had an awkward reunion with Strahan on the show.

“I never want to be defined by that show. I’ve done everything I can to rebrand and just be me,’’ she said.

Nation made her acting debut in September when she made a cameo appearance in Drunk History Australia, playing the first Miss Australia, Beryl Mills.

“I never want to be defined by that show. I’ve done everything I can to rebrand and just be me.”

“I’ve never taken acting lessons,” she told Confidential.

“My lessons were me standing in front of a mirror, and trying to bring (the character) to life.

“I jumped at this because she was a character I could totally harness and be responsible for.

“Her outspoken view that women should be heard and seen; I loved that.

“It’s so different to being on reality TV. I really worked hard for Beryl.”
