AFL Star Jimmy Bartel on Date Night with Partner Amelia at Melbourne NBL Game

Jimmy Bartel was spotted out on a rare date night with his partner, Amelia Shepperd, on Sunday. 

The private couple cuddled up together as they attended an NBL match between Melbourne United and Cairns Taipans at John Cain Arena in Melbourne. 

The 41-year-old beamed as he posed next to his stunning partner in the stands during the game. 

Amelia looked casually chic in a fitted, deep brown top with long sleeves that sat close to her figure.

She added a pair of loose-fit black jeans and completed the look with white sneakers. 

For makeup, she opted for a rosy palette with lots of highlighter, while wearing her brunette locks down in soft waves.

The footballer, meanwhile, dressed comfortably in a pair of track pants and a matching black shirt. 

Jimmy and Amelia share a daughter together, Paloma, one.

The former Geelong Cats player and his partner announced the birth of Paloma on social media in April 2023. 

In the heartwarming Instagram post, he shared a black and white photo of his new bundle of joy clutching his hand.

‘Daddy’s little girl is here. Paloma Lucie Bartel, you have me wrapped around your little fingers already,’ he captioned the post.

‘Amelia, I’m in awe of you. Love you so much. Aston and Henley [his sons] will love you so much.’

Jimmy and Amelia announced they were having a girl during an intimate gender reveal party in October 2022, just a few months after their one-year anniversary.

The father-of-three told the Herald Sun before Paloma’s birth that he was ‘scared’ of fathering a daughter.

‘I am petrified at the moment. (We are) having a little girl. My two older sisters, they only have boys. This is my mum’s 11th grandchild and this is the first girl,’ he said.

He added: ‘A few things are going through my head, well how do I do their hair. So, I am a bit scared to be honest.’

Jimmy was previously married to Nadia Bartel, with whom he shares Aston and Henley.

The couple split in mid 2019.

Nadia and Jimmy tied the knot in February 2014 in a lavish ceremony on the Bellarine Peninsular.

They first met in 2008 while attending the Melbourne F1 Grand Prix. Jimmy proposed four years later in Mexico.

Fashionista Nadia, 40, is currently enjoying a high profile romance with boyfriend Peter Dugmore.
