Stacey and Shane, who share two sons, Kosta, six, and Kruz, four, met when they were just 19.

“He’s honestly the greatest person, and I think he’s ashamed of his past,” she told Who magazine back in 2020.

“I met him when I was really young, 19, through mutual friends, and I wasn’t aware of his lifestyle, but I fell for him so quickly.”

The former MAFS alum dated the Rebels’ Adelaide president until 2017. A month later, he was convicted of bashing two nightclub bouncers.

During an interview with the Daily Mail, Stacey revealed that their breakup was “civil”.

“He’s an amazing dad, and I have no regrets.”

The news follows the death of Stacey’s brother, who also died in a motorcycle accident when she was just 21.

The reality star appeared in the 2020 season of MAFS and was paired with Michael Goonan.
