'They are a little bit ignorant': Alex Nation slams her former in-laws... as Bachelor winner recalls Richie Strahan's first meeting with her ex.

Her ex sister-in-law previously appeared to mock her on social media, following criticisms about her parenting methods.

And Alex Nation, 24, slammed her former in-laws as 'ignorant' this week despite her and Richie Strahan, 31, being in a good place with her ex-husband, Joel Porter.

'If they want to be negative about [me], and he's part of their family, that is simply a reflection of them, and they are a little bit ignorant as they obviously don't know me from a bar of soap,' she told OK! magazine.

Despite her criticism of Joel's family, the Bachelor winner added that she and him are still friends: 'Joel's always been supportive of me. He and Richie have met, that went really well.'

The single mum's comments come weeks after Joel's sister Kimberley Grace took a thinly veiled jab at her modelling career.

Taking to Instagram on the eve of The Bachelor finale in September, Kimberley shared a cartoon image with the phrase: 'She says I'm a model... but pays for her own shoots.'

The jab followed a social media post shared by Joel's girlfriend Ashy Smith, who appeared to slam Alex's parenting while alluding to child neglect.

Alex and Joel share a five-year-old son Elijah.

Just days before the show's finale, Ashy shared a cryptic Instagram message that read: 'Too bad you are only a good mother on Facebook and the rest of the time you neglect your child,' along with the caption - 'Think this speaks volumes!!'

The brunette beauty added some hashtags that read: 'Good luck to you,' 'so sad' and 'grow up.'

A friend also commented on Ashy's post and hashtagged: 'Not naming names.'

Another recent post alluded to her frustrations with an absentee parent.
