The Bachelors 2023: Heartbreaks and happily ever afters — Here’s who our leading men chose

21 December 202321 December 2023 by Anita Anabel

The season finale of The Bachelors 2023 was one for the history books as one Bachie professed his love, another walked away with his fave and another was left heartbroken, walking away with no one.

When host Osher Günsberg sat down with Luke, Ben and Wesley before the final decision, all three were filled with emotion. Luke grappled with the weight of breaking someone’s heart while Ben revealed how far he had come with sharing his emotions.

Meanwhile, Wes contemplated compromise with GF Brea whom he infamously asked to be “exclusive” during the season.

Luke

When faced with making his decision, Luke, surrounded by a fairytale setting of flowers, laid his heart on the line to Ellie.

While he initially said he had “lied” to her, the dapper lumberjack revealed that he had been dishonest about how he had only “loved two people” in his life. In reality, he had never had a love like he had with her! Le sigh.

“I love you,” he said, before offering her a dazzling “reassurance ring”.

He was then faced with a heart-to-heart with Lana, ending in a bittersweet goodbye.

Ben

Ben’s honesty led to an unexpected heartbreak, as he told Angela his heart belonged to someone else. Basically, she didn’t take it very well and stormed off.

Meanwhile, he chose Mckenna, sealing their union with a kiss.

Wes

Wesley, with nerves and sincerity, expressed his hopes for a bright future with Brea.

However, the couple had to face the hard truth — compromise and Wes struggled to agree to it.

With differences too big to ignore, the door to their relationship closed indefinitely.

Married at First Sight’s Mel Schilling diagnosed with cancer

20 December 202322 December 2023 by Danica Baker

MAFS relationship expert Mel Schilling has revealed that she’s been diagnosed with colon cancer.

The TV personality shared the sad news on Instagram and revealed that she was diagnosed last week.

“’YOU HAVE CANCER’. Three little words that everyone dreads but no one ever expects to hear. Last Thursday my consultant told me those 3 words.” she captioned a pic of herself hugging her husband Gareth Brisbane and their daughter Madison in front of their Christmas tree.

Mel explained that she experienced severe cramps while filming and went to her GP, however he put it down to constipation.

“Fortunately I knew something still wasn’t right so I booked in for a scan when I returned to the UK. On Thursday I was told I had colon cancer and in an instant my whole life changed,” she added.

Mel is going to hospital to fight the cancer

Mel revealed that will be going to the hospital on December 21st to have surgery to remove the tumour.

“This week I had planned to travel to Northern Ireland with my family to spend Christmas with loved ones. Instead tomorrow morning I’m checking in to hospital to have an operation to remove a 5cm tumour in my colon, a tumour that had it gone undetected for much longer would have killed me,” she wrote.

Mel’s prognosis

Fortunately, the relationship counsellor said that she is “expected to make a full recovery”.

“I feel incredibly blessed that it’s a cancer that is relatively easy to eradicate,” she wrote. “I also feel so lucky to have an incredible support network around me, both personally and professionally, my own family and my TV family have been amazing this past few days.

“It will be so tough to spend Xmas Day in hospital instead of being surrounded by family but getting rid of Terry (what I’ve named my tumour) will be the best present of all. I just wanted to finish by saying that if something doesn’t feel right, please, please don’t ignore it and if you don’t think the answers you have got are right, keep going until you do, it might just save your life.”

20 December 2023 by Danica Baker

Prime Video has dropped a trailer for its dramatic new series Expats, which stars Nicole Kidman, Sarayu Blue and Ji-young Yoo.

Expats is based on a six-part limited series based on Janice Y.K. Lee’s bestselling novel The Expatriates.

The show follows Kidman and her family who tragically lose their young son while living abroad in Hong Kong. It explores how the huge loss affects multiple lives.

Here’s everything you need to know about the series!

Who’s in it?

Kidman, Blue and Yoo play Margaret, Hilary Starr and Mercy respectively.

The cast also includes Brian Tee (Chicago Med, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows), and Jack Huston (House of Gucci, Fargo). Kidman and Lulu Wang serve as executive producers on the series.

Wang told IndieWire that Kidman initially approached her with the project.

“I was incredibly grateful,” Wang said. “It was pretty early, in the summer, right after [‘The Farewell’] had been released. She saw the film and loved it. She said, ‘There’s this book we optioned and we’re adapting, and you’re the first person to read the scripts. You’re the only director I can see doing this. You have to do it.’”

When does it come out?

The series will premiere with two episodes on January 26, 2024, with new episodes launching weekly until the finale on February 23, 2024.

What’s it about?

Expats takes place in the lively and chaotic backdrop of 2014 Hong Kong. The story revolves around three American women – Margaret, Hilary, and Mercy – whose lives intersect following a sudden family tragedy.

The series delves into the concept of privilege and delves into the consequences of blurred lines between victimhood and culpability. Clarke, played by Brian Tee, is Margaret’s husband, while Hilary’s husband, David, is portrayed by Jack Huston.

Is there a trailer?

There is! You can watch it below:

Stream Expats on Prime Video from January 26, 2024.

Wes’s step-mum Baby basically ripped Brea to shreds on The Bachelors 2023

19 December 202319 December 2023 by Danica Baker

The Bachelors‘ Brea and Wes’s relationship hit murky waters after they couldn’t agree on how their life outside of the show would look.

The newly exclusive couple sat down with Brea’s mum and sister in episode 11, and Wes’s step mum Baby. Like Wes, Baby is very religious and she made it clear that he and Brea wouldn’t be physically affectionate before marriage.

During the chat, Brea said that she would compromise by being okay with not being sexually intimate with Wes, but would like to share a bed with him. However, Baby wouldn’t have a bar of it.

Baby on The Bachelors — The Bachelors. Ten.

“Living together, spending the night together doesn’t mean that you’re going to get to know someone better,” she barked at Brea.

“Everyone is pressuring him to lower his standards, and it doesn’t work like that,” she added.

Brea tried to explain her point of view to Baby, but it wasn’t well received.

“I like the close proximity. If I like someone and I’m going to be in a relationship with someone, I want to be around you, I want to be near you,” Brea said to Wes.

By the end of the ep, absolutely no progress was made, and Brea and Wes’s relationship was left on extremely shaky grounds.

When did Brea and Wes become exclusive?

Part way his journey as one of the Bachelors, Wes decided to let go of two of his remaining women and make things exclusive with Brea.

In the episode, Wes took Brea aside and told her that he wanted to explore things with her and her only. Brea was delighted by the decision and agreed to go exclusive with him.

Are Brea and Wes still together?

Brea and Wes haven’t confirmed whether they are still together or not, however, all will be revealed in the final episode which airs on December 20.

Interview: Love Island Australia’s Zac reveals the next major step in his relationship with Lucinda

19 December 202319 December 2023 by Danica Baker

Love Island Australia 2023’s Zac Nunn’s has dished the dirt on his relationship with Lucinda Strafford, revealing that the couple are about to take a major step together.

Since filming wrapped on Love Island Australia five months ago, Lucinda and Zac have stayed together despite the geological roadblock.

During an interview with Chattr, the Love Island Australia finalist revealed that he’s spent some time in the UK with Lucinda, and she is coming to see him in Australia.

“I spent two and a half months with her in the UK,” he said. “She’s spending Christmas with her family. I’m spending Christmas with my family and I’m seeing her in literally seven days from now. Just after Christmas, she’s coming here and we’re going to spend a month together in Australia.”

“It’s gonna be her first trip [to Australia]. I get to show her around. I’m so excited.”

Zac revealed that he has plans to move to England in the near future so that he can be with Lucinda.

“I think I’m going to relocate to the UK at some point early next year.”

Zac and Lucinda’s relationship has been thriving outside the villa

Zac and Lucinda became girlfriend and boyfriend while they were inside the villa, and Zac said that their relationship has been going from strength to strength ever since.

“Obviously, it’s not the real world when you’re in [the villa]. So, when we left it was just crazy how calm it was, we didn’t argue there was nothing bad it was just so wonderful,” Zac said.

The former electrician said that he and Lucinda put a lot of effort into their long-distance relationship.

“I think doing long distances comes with its challenges, it’s not been the easiest thing ever and it takes a lot of trust for both of us,” he said.

“We talk on the phone for four hours every day, we talk on the phone right up until 2am most nights.”

Love Island Australia 2023: The winners have been crowned and Australia made the right decision

19 December 202319 December 2023 by CHATTR Team

Love Island Australia 2023 was quite the ride and finally, two deserving winners have been crowned.

After seven weeks of different eras, dramas, tears, challenges and surprises, Tyra Johannes and Kale Roberts were given the coveted title and basically, we couldn’t love this outcome any more.

After returning to the villa after being dumped, their fairytale story had the audience swooning, with loyal fans voting them their favourite couple over the other finalists, Lucinda Strafford and Zac Nunns and Savanah Badger and Clint Posselt.

The final three Love Island Australia 2023 couples. Nine

Tyra and Kale’s winning speech

“This has been one of the best seasons of Love Island Australia yet,” host Sophie Monk said. “I’ve laughed out loud and actually cried. It’s so entertainingly beautiful, there were heartfelt moments, and it’s so relatable. I feel like I’m learning life lessons from this season, and I’ve seen A LOT in my lifetime.”

Tyra, 23, admitted she was “stoked” about their win.

“Kale is everything I could ever ask for in a partner and more,” she said. “The most kind and considerate man I’ve ever met. We’ve got so many plans, kicking it all off with a trip over to Perth to meet Kale’s family. I am stoked.”

Meanwhile, Kale, 25, said: “I couldn’t be more excited for what’s next for me and the future with Tyra. We have so many exciting things coming up already. It’s amazing how bubbly and uplifting her presence is, she can light up a room with one smile.” CUTE!!

While in previous seasons, the winning couple were handed an envelope each, one containing $50,000 and the other nothing — which determined who was in it for love or money — this year was a little different.

Last week, the top four couples were made a life-changing offer as individuals, deciding whether to take $20,000 from Sophie. All of the couples who remained turned down the cash and chose love, meaning that Tyra and Kale walked away with a cash prize of $50,000.

It’s The Bachelors Australia 2023 finals week, so find out when every episode is on

18 December 202318 December 2023 by Danica Baker

Watching The Bachelors Australia 2023 has been a bit of a ride for fans this season.

As usual, an episode aired on Channel 10 on its allocated night. However, an advance episode was available on the network’s streaming app, 10Play, straight after the current episode finished airing.

The new format allowed fans to get their Bach dose early, but it was slightly confusing to figure out which episode is on when.

Of course, coming into finals week it’s vital for all serious Bach fans to get their Ben, Wes and Luke dose as soon as possible. So, to make that feat a little easier, we’ve popped together a guide of when each episode is on during The Bachelors Australia finals week.

When is The Bachelors Australia on?

Going into finals week, there are three episodes left of The Bachelors Australia 2023. Episode 10 will air on Channel 10 at 7:30pm on Monday the 18th of December, however, the ep was uploaded for streaming on Sunday night (17th Dec).

Episode 11 will air on free-to-air TV on Tuesday the 19th at 7:30pm and episode 12 will air on Wednesday the 20th at 7:30pm.

When is The Bachelors 2023 grand final?

The Bachelors 2023 grand final will play out on Wednesday the 20th at 7:30pm. Given that it’s the final ep, It’s unlikely that it will be available on 10Play prior to the free-to-air screening.

Who will win The Bachelors 2023?

**WARNING: This article contains potential spoilers for The Bachelors Australia 2023.**

Wes has already picked Brea as his final choice, but in the coming episodes, we’ll be able to see if the couple choose to stay together post-show.

Meanwhile, Ben and Luke still need to choose who they will give their final rose to. Betting odds suggest that Ben will pick Mckenna and Luke will pick Ellie.

When is The Bachelors on? — The Bachelors. Ten.

The Bachelors Grand Final will air on Wednesday at 7.30 pm on 10 and 10Play.

We found a ton of The Bachelors’ Ben’s modelling pics and he’s worked with some HUGE celebs

18 December 202319 December 2023 by Danica Baker

The Bachelors’ Ben Waddell is certainly no stranger to the spotlight; he’s been working as an international model for well over a decade, and during that time, he’s worked with some big names.

Ben has modelled for Levis, Carolina Herrera, Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger, and he’s posed in campaigns with Lara Worthington (nee Bingle) and Love Island UK’s Jamie Jewitt.

Lara and Ben were in a Cotton On campaign back in 2013, and he lived with Jamie (who married Camilla Thurlow from Love Island UK season 3) and worked on multiple photoshoots with him.

Fast forward to the present day, and eagle eye fans have spotted Ben in a Specsavers ad.

Ben has obviously had a very fruitful career in modelling, so, naturally, we thought we’d take a trip down memory lane and check out some of his best (and most hilarious) gigs.

The Love Island 2023 winner may have just leaked and was there really any other option, anyway?

18 December 202318 December 2023 by Danica Baker

Three couples have made the finals, but which pair of lovebirds will be crowned the winner of Love Island Australia 2023?

The couples who’ve almost made it to the finish line are Kale Roberts and Tyra Johannes, Zac Nunns and Lucinda Strafford and Savannah Badger and Clint Posselt.

Betting odds are suggesting that one couple will win by a landslide and, given the front runner, it looks like they’re right on the money.

While popular site Sportsbet has closed the bets for Love Island Australia 2023, betting odds are still floating around the internet and they have fan favs Kale and Tyra in first place with a return of $1.50. Zac and Lucinda are next with $3.00 and Sav and Clint are least expected to win with a return of $5.00.

How do betting odds work?

Betting odds are listed with a dollar amount. If someone bets $1.00, they’d receive back the amount the couple was listed at. For example, if a punter bets $1.00 on Kale and Tyra they’d receive a $1.50 return if he won. This changes when the amount deposited changes, so $10.00 would turn into $15.00, $100 would turn into $150.00, and so on.

Do betting odds correctly guess the winner?

Not always, however, betting odds can often be a good indicator of who will win a show.

For example, Brent Draper had the best odds to win MasterChef Australia 2023, and he was, in fact, crowned the winner. Plus, last year’s betting odds indicated that Liz Parnov would win Survivor Australia, which she did.

More recently, betting odds suggested that Steph and Gian would win The Block 2023, which they well and truly did, with a profit of $1.65 million, plus $100,000 in prize money.

Big Brother Australia airs Monday to Thursday at 8:30 pm on 7 and 7Plus.

“My heart explodes 🥰,” she wrote. “Ruby was the name of Emmie’s Aunty who adopted her when she was orphaned at age of 9. She saved Emmie from the horrible orphanages back in those days and cared for her like she was her own daughter.

“I hope our Ruby inherits generations of maternal resilience and Emmie’s cheeky sense of humour 😛.”

Game over! Wes makes Bachelor history with a groundbreaking decision

18 December 202318 December 2023 by Anita Anabel

Wesley Senna Cortes has made The Bachelor Australia history and TBF, we saw this coming from a mile away!

**WARNING: This article contains spoilers for episode nine of The Bachelors Australia 2023.**

During episode nine of the 2023 season (which was uploaded to 10Play on December 13) Wes decided to become exclusive with Brea, sending the rest of his girls home.

The episode began with Wes sitting down with a producer, revealing he’d made a YUGE decision; with the producer saying this was a Bachie first. Given Nick Cummins had already taken the crown of choosing no one, this was ANOTHER cray-cray first…and actually, it’s kinda cute!

Wesley The Bachelors 2023 — Wesley, The Bachelors. 10

Earlier in the day, Wes had chatted with Ben Waddell and Luke Bateman, telling them that he was planning to ask just one girl to be his GF. After the initial shock, they were all like, “Why didn’t I think of that?!” because seriously, Luke just needs to choose Ellie and put the rest of the girls out of their misery…

“A friend of mine said, ‘Wes, once you get out, I need to ask you a question. I feel like the Bachelors know from day one who they want to end this with,'” Wes said in a confessional. “To which I said, ‘I don’t know I’ll have to tell you later’.”

He then went on to say that during the first night, he had noticed Brea straight away.

“I looked over to the back. She was very nervous and I just knew.”

When telling Brea of his decision, he admitted that their “spark had kept on growing”, before popping ye olde “exclusive” question!

Naturally, she said yes and they skipped off into the sunset… or did they?!

The overnight date spells trouble for Wes and Brea

Now BF and GF, Brea accompanied Wes on an overnight stay. While they had an incredible time, when it came time to sleeping arrangements, things got, well, a little awkward.

ICYMI – Wes’ only personality during this entire season has been the fact that he is a virgin, a revelation that has not only been of concern for Brea but was also part of the reason Jade self-eliminated.

Cut back to the overnight and Wes revealed that he didn’t want to sleep in the same bed as Brea which left her feeling a little… perplexed.

Being a “sexual person”, Brea was hoping to do everything but the sexy time and given he doesn’t want to have sex until he’s married — and potentially even sleep in the same bed until then — we don’t love their chances…

Tim Robards slams SAS Australia 2023 for editing out his “horrific injury”

15 December 202315 December 2023 by Danica Baker

Tim Robards has slammed SAS Australia for editing out a “horrific injury” he incurred while competing on the reality TV show.

Tim was one of the two 2023 contestants to make it through the rigorous SAS recruitment process, and he apparently did so with a torn abductor muscle

“I felt like in the series, they didn’t really show a lot of my journey. One big part on episode 8, I actually saw my doctor … I tore my abductor,” Tim told Daily Mail Australia.

Tim said he was frustrated that the huge event got left of the cutting room floor.

“It was a pretty serious injury and they never showed it. They didn’t make it part of my storyline, which was disappointing as that was a big part of my journey,” he said.

The former The Bachelor lead said that leaving his injury in would have added more suspense to the show.

“It gave jeopardy to whether I would get through and I think a lot of people at the end were thinking I looked like the fittest guy that was left, so I’d probably get through, but I was actually struggling so much underneath and none of it came easy to me.”

He added that producers cut “so many things” from the show, saying: “I pushed through luckily and didn’t tear it … they knock back the severity of just how hard that show is. They cut out so many things.

How bad was the injury?

A torn abductor muscle is a pretty serious injury. Abductors are a group of muscles that rotate a an arm or a leg, and a tear can cause very severe pain. Recovery generally involves a lot of rest and sometimes surgery.

Tim said that the pain he suffered was extreme, and added that the doctor wasn’t sure if he should continue on the show.

“It was so painful to push through. I had to go and see the doctor and he said I had partially torn it and it could come all the way off, but it’s up to me whether I want to keep going,’ he said.

Tim reveals other footage was cut from SAS Australia

During an interview with Chattr, the former The Bachelor lead divulged more scenes that were cut from the show.

He used the final challenge as an example and explained that he thought he would be crying in elation when he found out he passed the selection, but that wasn’t the case.

“What happened in reality was, we went through that last day, but we never knew when the end was. Right before they brought us up and told us that we’d passed, we had to sit in this bloody rock crevice for an hour, and all the adrenaline from the past challenge had worn off,” he said.

“By that time we’re like, ‘Come on, we’re freezing cold. Is this the end?”

Unsurprisingly, Sydney Sweeney was inundated with DMs from the Sydney Swans after a meet-and-greet

15 December 202315 December 2023 by Anita Anabel

Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney is currently doing the rounds promoting her new (and controversial) flick Anyone But You alongside Glen Powell.

And while all anyone can talk about is whether the pair actually hooked up during filming back in March, the 26-year-old alongside Glen and zaddy Dermot Mulroney attended an AFL match with the Sydney Swans.

Speaking to The Project on December 14, she said: “I had a lot of questions. Physical of all, why are the shorts so short?” she joked: “I had a blast. I got to meet everybody. I want to go back.”

Glen, who was also sitting in on the interview, couldn’t help but stir up a little tea, saying: “Well, they had a good time meeting Sydney as well. The whole team slid into her DMs it was … Australia wanted to welcome her to town … very fast.” HAHA!

Sydney Sweeney teaches Jimmy Fallon about schoolies

Sweeney also revealed another hectic component of filming in Australia — schoolies.

Schoolies of course is the annual event where HSC students kick back for a week of debauchery following their exams. And it turns out Sydney was in the thick of it while filming her latest project, Eden on the Gold Coast!

During an interview with Jimmy Fallon, he asked whether she had learned any “Aussie slang” while she was spending time here.

“While I’ve been there, they had this thing called the schoolies, and it’s when the high schoolers graduate and they go and have their big huge spring break party,” Sweeney told The Late Night host.

“They shut down all the streets and the schoolies go out, and then the ‘toolies’ go out too, and those are anybody that is older than 21. And they put wristbands on them to know that there are tools trying to pick up younger kids.”

Adding to this, she added another term — which we truly had no idea about — foolies.

“And then anybody that is still in high school that goes out also gets a different colour wristband and they’re called the ‘foolies’. When they aren’t old enough to be messing around, so they’re fools.” LOL!

While it was completely baffling to the Hollywood star, she did admit Australia was “awesome”!

Watch Anyone But You in cinemas across Australia from December 22.

The pics, which were obtained by Media-Mode (and distributed by News.com.au) show the pair frolicking in the sand and basically, they look cute AF.

On October 29, Eddie took to Instagram to show appreciation for one of his “fave humans”.

“Something really special coming from a special soul. pure expression from one of my fave humans. her love for music is beyond bright 🗣️🗣️ [sic],” he penned alongside a carousel of images and clips.

Who is Eddie Benjamin?

Born in Bondi, Sydney, 21-year-old Eddie has collaborated with the likes of Sia, Meghan Trainor and Justin Bieber.

In 2021, he revealed to Euphoria Magazine that his father was a drummer and he grew up surrounded by music.

By the time he was a teenager (which he still practically is), he had already learned to play a variety of instruments, including piano, guitar and bass.

“My parents played a huge role in my artistic upbringing. They never pushed me to do anything and really gave me freedom,” he said in an interview with Wonderland for his December 2020 cover story.

Once in High School, Eddie formed the band Haze Trio, winning competitions around Australia before his big break came when he was just 16 years old.

At this time, he began producing music for Meghan Trainor, Ryan Tedder, Labrinth and Earth, Wind & Fire. Unbelievable!

Just before the COVID-19 pandemic, he moved to LA where he met Justin Bieber (who became his mentor) and Sia.

Sia introduced Eddie Benjamin to his ex-girlfriend Maddie Ziegler

Willow is not the first high-profile celeb to catch the attention of Eddie. In fact, Sia — who is a close friend — introduced him to Dance Moms star Maddie Ziegler who was cast in the music clip Chandelier at the age of 11.

“I feel very excited every day that I get to date him,” Ziegler said in an interview with People in January 2022. “We have such a good time together and we were best friends for a really long time before we dated. It’s like I’m just hanging out with my best friend every day. It’s really fun. It’s honestly the best. I love it.”

In February 2023, Maddie and Eddie split after more than three years together.

When the news broke on December 13, it was stated that he had passed away following a brief, unspecified illness, with his long-time rep, Jennifer Allen confirming the sad news to Variety.

Now, Allen has told People that Braugher died after battling lung cancer; however, it was not made clear when he was diagnosed.

Tributes flow in for Andre Braugher before cause of death revealed

Following his shock death, tributes began to pour in for the Emmy winner, including from his Brooklyn Nine-Nine co-star Terry Crews.

“Can’t believe you’re gone so soon. I’m honoured to have known you, laughed with you, worked with you and shared 8 glorious years watching your irreplaceable talent. This hurts. You left us too soon,” he said.

“You taught me so much. I will be forever grateful for the experience of knowing you. Thank you for your wisdom, your advice, your kindness and your friendship. Deepest condolences to your wife and family in this difficult time. You showed me what a life well lived looks like.

“Rest In Peace, Andre. I love you, man.”

Chelsea Peretti, who played Gina Linetti on the hit series also shared her sentiments.

“Love you ❤️ Will miss your dulcet tones,” she penned on Instagram. “Forever lucky to have gone on such a journey with you. Ringside seat. You were so funny to me and the epitome of still waters run deep. I will always cherish our conversations, often with me hanging in your doorway barring your exit, and the insane opportunity to be your sidekick. Is it weird that I am also grieving for what Captain Holt meant to Gina? I really hoped and knew I would see you again. Hate that I won’t 💔”

Meanwhile, Braugher’s on-screen husband Marc Evan Jackson gave the most fitting tribute.

“O Captain. My Captain,” he simply put.

Braugher is survived by his wife Ami Brabson and their three children.
