‘The years are catching up with us!’ Former footballer Brendan Fevola pays tribute to his wife Alex on her 43rd birthday… by sharing a photo of her with an old age filter

Brendan Fevola tempted the wrath of his wife, Alex Fevola, when he shared an unflattering photo of her to Instagram on Thursday.

The 39-year-old former Australian rules footballer paid tribute to his partner of 15 years on her 43rd birthday, sharing a photo of her with an old age filter.

‘@alexfevolamakeup not a day goes by where I don’t love you more and more…’ the brave star captioned it. 

'IT'S A FILTER GUYS!!!!! (Some people think that's me without makeup on) close to reality though,' Alex commented on the picture

‘The years are catching up with us, more you than me but I still love you. Happy 43rd Birthday Snooks’. 

Luckily, Alex was able to see the humour in his post, but the makeup artist confessed many people assumed that was how she really looked.  

‘If I didn’t have issues about ageing [sic] already, I sure do now,’ she commented.

‘P.S. IT’S A FILTER GUYS!!!!! (Some people think that’s me without makeup on) close to reality though’.

It’s not the first time Brendan has shared the unflattering photo, seemingly discovering the filter in July last year.

‘Living with me really does take it out of @alexfevolamakeup,’ he wrote on Instagram at the time, adding the hashtags, ‘#imdead #lifesbeengood #bye #faceapp’.

A scathing Alex commented: ‘I was 7 and a half months pregnant and you’re filling it out more’.
