All better now......never an issue just one of those things....had to seek counselling and other types of support... makes me sick to the stomach....complete with a video and lots of pictures showing the loving couple....
She now says there was never an issue...what a waste of space these two are and when you see the way the courts are backlogged with cases and the time wasted for the police and the prosecution...our money might I add, I just wish these type of ridiculous instances are actually put back on those who are involved. No accountability at all........

For the last six months, NRL star Dylan Walker has made headlines while facing charges in court over an alleged domestic violence incident with his fiancée Alex Ivkovic.
After being found not guilty of those charges this month, the Manly Sea-Eagles player opened up to Nine’s NRL reporter Danny Weidler about his struggles throughout the legal battle.
“There were some dark days with it and we just sort of had to lean on each other,” he said.
“(I’m) so lucky to have a loving partner and a baby… It’s tough, it does affect me as a person from what I do on the field.
“It’s hard. I just want to be the best person I can be, the best father, the best partner and the hatred’s there.”
An argument at the couple’s home in December last year led to the charges against Walker. A police statement from the alleged incident in relation to Ms Ivkovic said she had been found with “minor cuts to her shoulder, leg and feet”.
From that moment, Walker was viewed in a negative light and the public hatred towards him has been intense.
“It’s a hard thing, I’ve got a family – I’m the youngest of eight. It’s not just me that lives through it, it’s my nieces, my nephews, my brothers and sisters,” he told 9News.
“They’ve been supportive and so have my friends and the club as well.”
Ms Ivkovic also said the legal battle was hard on her as a partner.“I had to reach out to friends and family and get a counsellor and other types of support because it’s hard on both people,” she said.
“There was never an issue and it was just one of those things, of course you’re going to support your partner.
“He’s such a good person and I think that’s been hardest for me as a partner to watch people - not even just in this whole situation - but over the years paint him as a bad person.
“That’s something that he’s always stayed so quiet about - all the good things that he does.”
Throughout the court proceedings, Ms Ivkovic's character has also been under intense public scrutiny after initially saying Walker pulled her hair, causing her to fall.
In court, she said “he reached out to grab my shoulder, not my hair”.
That comment damaged the police case against the NRL player and led to him being found not guilty.
“I think it’s just one of those things where you want to jump up and down and explain everything but you also cant please everyone,” Ms Ivkovic added.
“The people around us know us and they know everything and we’re happy with that and I’m content with that.
“I don’t feel the need to defend myself, you can’t always make everyone happy.”
As for the Walker's reception on the field, she said it’s nothing new.
“You can go to an away game at any point and get booed or get abuse hurled at you,” she said.
“He’s got thick skin. It’s more about our personal state and we’re safe, we’re happy, we support each other, we love each other, we’re just happy to move on.”
