Richie Breaks His Silence 'How Alex Broke My Heart'

The Blindsided Bachelor Reveals His Devastation

When Alex Nation revealed her new lesbian romance, no one was more shocked than her Bachelor boyfriend Richie Strahan.

Devastated Richie has finally broken his silence on the stunning developments, which have left him heartbroken, refusing to eat and ‘crying a lot’ – telling friends that he was ‘completely blindsided’ by Alex’s controversial new relationship with her football teammate Maegan Luxa.

The 32-year-old rope technician had even put his Perth home on the market just days before the scandal broke, planning to relocate to Melbourne so he could move in with Alex and her young son.

‘Richie wanted nothing more than to settle down with Alex and her little boy,’ says a close friend of Richie’s. ‘He is a homebody who had started planning their own kids and a proper future.

‘He had no idea Alex had already started a relationship with a chick from footy. He still loves her – you can’t just turn real feelings off.’

Adds another good pal: ‘The only way to put this is that Rich is totally heartbroken – he really is shattered. He feels as though his world, dreams and hopes have come crashing down, literally overnight.
