The 33-year-old former Australian Dancing With The Stars contestant, who has 11-year-old Mia, 4-year-old Leni and 1-year-old Lulu with estranged husband Brendan, said that she is pursuing a career in photography.
Alex told the Herald Sun: "I've just started back and I've got a renewed passion for photography.
"I think having that break and some time out after my last baby rejuvenated my enthusiasm. It's vitally important to have not only your own independence but for me, a mother of three, I've got to know that I'm financially secure."
Alex and sports star Brendan split after he admitted that he was hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt due to a gambling addiction.
