The AFL community is mourning alongside Brendan and Alex Fevola after the heartbreaking loss of Alex’s father, Keith.
Alex, partner of former AFL star and media personality Brendan Fevola, shared the sad news in an emotional social media post. She described her father as “indestructible” and “young at heart.”
“A few days ago I lost my Dad. It has been so difficult to come to terms with. My Dad seemed indestructible, young at heart and full of life. RIP Dad, you will be missed forever, always in my heart.”
Brendan expressed his grief, recalling Keith’s humor and warmth.
“We are going to miss your humour and quick wit. I’m gonna miss having a cold one with you, mate. Most of all the girls will miss the love their granddad gave them, and Alex the love, friendship and trust you both had with each other till the very end – the long chats that ended in laughter. Love ya, mate.”
Alex and Brendan, who divorced in 2014 but rekindled their relationship two years later, have four daughters together: Mia, Leni, Lulu, and Tobi. Mia is Brendan’s stepdaughter.
All the girls expressed their pain and love for their grandfather.
Mia wrote: “On Friday, heaven gained an angel. Rest in peace, granddad, love you forever. Never failed to make us laugh.”
This heartbreaking loss deeply affects a celebrated AFL family, uniting the community in shared grief and fond remembrance of Keith’s vibrant spirit and loving legacy.
