The disappearing act is officially over.
On Wednesday, March 22nd Alex Nation and Richie Strahan put the split rumours to rest as they stepped out at the Glamour on the Grid Grand Prix Party in Melbourne.
25-year-old Alex cut a stylish figure in a peach-coloured slip dress which she teamed with tousled beach waves and statement earrings.
While her Bachelor boyfriend looked dapper in a navy suit and tie combo and ginger stubble.
This marks the couple’s first official outing since explosive photos surfaced of Alex crying following a suspected row with the rope technician in Perth last month.
Fans have been quick to question if last night’s outing was all for show.
“They look like they’re just going through the motions, they don’t look very happy,” one user penned.
“He looks very withdrawn in the face….looks like he has been stressed….Hope they are okay,” another added.
“Look at their eyes. Eyes don’t lie,” one fan noted.
So far, the usually snap-happy duo haven’t shared any couple pics from the event on Instagram.
However, both Alex and Richie posted a few short videos to the story section of the social media site (see below).
Alex can be briefly seen for a short moment as Richie films singer Mario’s performance of Let Me Love You.
The pair’s long-distance romance has been plagued with break-up rumours for months and most recently the mother-of-one further fuelled speculation it was all over when she partied in Melbourne without her promise ring from Rich.
Their good mate and fellow Bachie alum, Georgia Love, told Now To Love this week that the pair are doing just fine.
“They are definitely still together! I mean they live on different sides of the country. He works long, long, long shifts, I mean in terms of weeks long shifts, so I think it is, it’s been really hard on them,” she explained.
