Inside the former marital home of Nathan and Tania Buckley following the AFL golden couple’s shock split

Less than a week after announcing their shock split, Daily Mail Australia has glimpsed inside Nathan and Tania Buckley’s former marital home.

The former couple resided in Melbourne’s affluent Toorak with their two sons, Ayce, 12, and Jett, 14, and were married for 18 years.

The luxurious five-bedroom home was last sold in March 2007, where it went for just under $4million.

If the former couple decide to sell the property, they’re likely to make a profit, with the median house price for homes in Toorak sitting at $4.2million.

Nathan, 48, and Tania issued a statement via Instagram on Friday, publicly announcing they’d separated 11 months ago.  

They have since been co-parenting their two sons, but kept the surprise breakup largely under wraps.

‘It has been a tough and challenging year for every family and for ours included,’ the statement on Tania’s Instagram read. 

‘It is with the utmost of love and respect for each other and a true commitment to our sons, that we made a decision to separate in January.  

‘We remain dedicated parents and in the interests of our boys, we ask for our family to be given the privacy that is needed.

‘We thank everyone in advance for understanding our request and for the unconditional love and support we have received throughout our marriage.’  

After the Magpies lost the AFL Grand Final to Richmond in Queensland, Nathan moved out of the family home when he returned to Melbourne. 

He’s reportedly now staying at an apartment in South Yarra, which is owned by his friend Paul Roberts, a TLA sports executive.
