They fell in love on The Bachelor last year when Richie Strahan chose Alex Nation as the woman he wanted to spend his life with. However, like many relationships that come from the television dating franchise, the relationship did not last and the pair split earlier this year. 

Australia Day well spent 🇦🇺❤

For months fans have been wondering, “What happened?” and now we finally have an answer! 

The 26-year-old posted a loved up pic of herself and her new girlfriend Maegan Luxa to her Instagram earlier today with a touching caption.

When it comes to love, my friends and family would tell you that my heart isn't one to discriminate. I very much fall for a person and the connection that I share with them. My heart is a wild thing, it craves extraordinary adventure. It's impulsive, sometimes a little dysfunctional but it's big and loud and I follow it to the nth degree. What a wonderful adventure it is with her ✨

However, when one user commented, “Why go on Bachelor? @richie_strahan could of chosen someone else and had his ever after!”, Nation decided to reply with the reason behind her breakup with the Bachelor star in a classy response. 

"Richie is a great person, he'll still get his ever after. We both hoped for things to work, but life just is. Sometimes things in life simply don't work out for us. You cherish the nice memories and you move forward"

There you have it! Straight from Alex herself. No further questions needed.
