Alex Nation may no longer be with her Bachelor beau Richie Strahan, but the mum-of-one still has a lot to smile about.

On Tuesday the blonde beauty celebrated her 26th birthday, and she might be down one boyfriend but she’s gained a bucket load of sweet treats.

Taking to Instagram, Alex shared a snap of her birthday cake – a mountain of staked Nutella-filled doughnuts.

We know what you’re thinking… Showing everyone what you’re doing on your special day seems rather personal.

Alex, who found fame as a contestant on The Bachelor Australia, captioned the peek into her personal life, “I am the luckiest woman ever!! A Nutella donut Birthday cake!”

Alex was delighted by her birthday cake, with fans guessing her new flame Maegan Luxa helped whip it up.

No word on who made the yummy goodies, but many fans are guessing the 26-year-old’s new flame and former chef Maegan Luxa could have something to do with it.

The birthday girl continued the celebrations with her radio co-host Luke Forrest.

The duo were spotted grabbing a bottle of red wine at a local pub in Melbourne, unwinding after a huge few days for Alex.

Earlier this week, snaps were unveiled showing Alex and her AFL team mate in a romantic embrace, kissing.

According to a local publication, the romance is a month old and Richie had no idea.

Woman’s Day shared details of the split, explaining Alex felt neglected by Richie and was disappointed he didn’t make good on his promise to set up home in Melbourne.

“Alex felt like Richie was super-keen whenever there was a red-carpet event and photo opportunity, but 
she had to beg him for time on their own,” a pal said.

Meanwhile, Richie seems to be starting afresh.

Things have been tense for some time with Alex and Richie…

There’s little wonder he’s looking to Nikki for support.

An insider told Woman’s Day that Richie and Alex actually called it quits six months ago and now the reality star is closing up shop and selling his Perth property.

Luckily we know a really good real estate agent that could help him out!

The 32-year-old seems to be trying to rekindle things with Bachelor runner-up Nikki Gogan.

While the Perth beauty has told fans she’s not dating Richie, well-wishers on her Instagram have little doubt that the rope technician has reached out.
