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

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.”

Sam Wood was pulled over by police but furiously denies any wrongdoing

Sam Wood has been slapped on the wrist with a $577 fine and four demerits after allegedly being caught using his phone while driving.

According to News.com.au, the former Bachelor star was pulled over by officers during a six-hour safety sting called “Operation Lookout” in Melbourne on December 18, where 20 others were also reportedly fined.

Speaking to 9News in footage uploaded to Twitter, Wood denied any wrongdoing.

“No, I wasn’t,” he said when asked if he had been using his phone. “I’ve got nothing to say. I was not on my phone, I was on my hands-free.”

News also reported that Operation Lookout will continue throughout the summer.

The outlet also reported that seven people were caught not wearing a seatbelt as well as 12 cyclists riding without a helmet during the sting.

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

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.

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

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.

The Bachelors. Ten.

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.

The Bachelors. Ten.

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.

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

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?

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.

Love Island Australia. Nine.

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.

Love Island Australia. Nine.

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.

Gogglebox’s Isabelle Silbery’s sweet nod to Emmie with her baby daughter’s name

Isabelle Silbery has revealed that her baby’s name is a meaningful nod to her grandmother and former Gogglebox co-star Emmie Silbery.

Isabelle took to Instagram to reveal the inspiration behind her daughter’s name, Ruby.

“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 😛.”

Isabelle appeared on Gogglebox with her mum Kerry Silbery and her grandma Emmie, however, Emmie stepped back from the show earlier this year following her dementia diagnosis.

Game over! Wes makes Bachelor history with a groundbreaking decision

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”

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.

SAS Australia. Seven.

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.

SAS Australia. Seven.

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.

SAS Australia. Seven.

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

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 Powell and Sydney Sweeney. The Project, Ten

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”!

Meet Eddie Benjamin, the Aussie musician spotted cozying up to Willow Smith

It looks like Willow Smith has found herself a new Aussie bae after she was spotted on Bronte Beach in Sydney alongside Aussie singer/songwriter Eddie Benjamin.

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.

But who is Eddie Benjamin? The musician who has seemingly won Willow’s heart?

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.

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.

Yup, that was Michelle from MMYD 2022 on Love Island Australia 2023

Love Island Australia 2023 has recruited another former reality star to join their ranks of sexy singles.

Bombshell Chloe Jackson helped her mum find love on My Mum Your Dad last year, and she’s now looking for her special someone on Love Island.

Chloe entered the villa as a bomb in episode 17, and she instantly piqued the boy’s attention. Trent opened her in with welcome arms after spotting her in the gym, and Reid happily palmed off his new partner Tasia for her.

Then, during episode 27, the Islanders had video calls with their loved ones. Reid and Chloe sat down (via TV) with Chloe’s mum Michelle, who she appeared alongside on My Mum Your Dad 2022.

What was Chloe like on My Mum Your Dad?

Chloe appeared alongside her mum Michelle on MMYD 2022.

On the show, it was revealed that Chloe and her mum have matched with the same people on dating apps in the past.

“On dating apps, we were literally matching with the same people and getting the same messages,” Chloe told the other kids in the bunker.

“So I’ve had to educate my mum on, ‘let’s go 28 [and] above. Let’s go for 32 and above’,” Chloe confessed,” she added.

Michelle ended up with fireman Heath Langdon, however, it appears the couple split shortly after filming wrapped. In December, he updated his Instagram bio with the hashtag #StillSingle.

Chloe Jackson’s new career path

Chloe was born in Sydney but grew up in London. She was a ballerina for 17 years and then became a personal trainer.

Now, Chloe has switched up her career path again and has joined the navy. She began training to be a Military Physical Training Instructor in October.

“I’m super thrilled to be joining the Military as a Physical Training Instructor for The Royal Australian Navy ⚓️ Massive Pinch me moment! I’m excited for the challenges ahead in 2 weeks and the months of training to come,” she wrote on Instagram.

Are Love Island Australia 2023’s Nate and Georgia still together? The lovebirds give a spicy update

Nate Page and Georgia Murray had multiple conversations about how their relationship would work outside of the Love Island Australia 2023 villa.

So, now that they’ve officially been dumped from the villa, it’s time to find out whether their relationship survived the real world!

Nate and Georgia told Nine Entertainment that they initially split when they got back to Sydney.

“After we left and got back to Sydney we tried to give it a go, but life was really hectic so we had a bit of a break,” Georgia explained.

Love Island Australia. Nine.

However, after a bit of time apart the lovebirds decided to give their romance another try.

“We just started talking again and we were just like ‘Damn, there’s obviously still a flame here’,” Georgia said.

Georgia confirmed to the publication that she and Nate are now “back together”.

“Our journey is definitely not finished, we’re definitely together,” she glowed. “We just fit back like a glove – it was so easy.”

Georgia and Nate gush about the relationship in the real world

Both Nate and Georgia said that their relationship has improved tenfold since getting back together after the show.

”I feel like I’m dating a different person,” Georgia said. “I feel like I’m dating a different Nate – he is so much more relaxed now that he’s surrounded by his friends and family.

“It definitely feels like a fresh slate and a fresh start.”

Nate added: “We’re definitely doing better than we were towards the end of the Villa, that’s for sure.”

“I’d love for us to work out and develop a connection where we want to push it to the next stage.

“It feels like it’s going in that direction.”

Love Island Australia. Nine.

Which other couples from Love Island are still together?

Love Island Australia 2023 was pre-filmed, which means that all of the Islanders left the villa before the season began airing.

While the contestants aren’t technically allowed to spill the status of their relationship until they’re out of the villa, we’ve done some digging and it looks as though Kale and Tyra and Lucinda and Zac are the only couples still together.

Love Island Australia’s Clint was on a very popular reality show in 2018… So what are his intentions?

When Clint Posselt entered the Love Island Australia 2023 villa Sav Badger finally found the connection she’d been looking for since day one.

However, an eagle-eyed Redditor has discovered that Love Island Australia isn’t Clint’s first time on reality TV, and he actually competed on The Voice in 2018.

The new revelation has us wondering if Clint’s original intention was to find love on the dating show. However, we hope his cute connection with Sav trumps any yearning for a blue verified tick on Instagram.

Is there a video of Clint on The Voice?

There is! You can check it out below. He looks noticeably different as he is sporting a gelled side part, and he belted out a cover of Miley Cyrus’s Malibu.

After Clint was eliminated from The Voice he told Cairns Post that he was hoping to continue his musical career.

“I want to continue music but start nice and steady, get (my) face out there,” he said.

“The show has given me great exposure and a really good opportunity to make music a meaningful part of my life.”

“I’ll start with covers and then eventually I’d like to have some of my own music, so I am just going to use this opportunity to get out and give it a go,” he added.

Are Clint and Sav still together?

Love Island Australia 2023 was pre-filmed, which means that all of the Islanders left the villa before the season began airing. So, many fans are wondering if the pair are still together in the real world.

Unfortunately, for those who love spoilers, Sav and Clint have stayed pretty tight-lipped about the status of their relationship. However, with the finale nearing, it’s just a matter of time until we find out the couple’s fate.

MAFS’ Harrison has weighed in on Tahnee and Ollie’s split and nobody even asked him

MAFS 2023 contestant Harrison Boon has thrown in his two cents about co-stars Tahnee Cook and Ollie Skelton’s breakup.

Of course, in true Harrison style, his remark was savage, to say the least.

“Their break up already getting talked about more than their entire relationship,” he wrote in the comments section of an unofficial MAFS account that announced the news of the breakup.

He was joined by fellow outspoken Married At First Sight alum Nasser Sultan, who also threw some jabs the couple’s way.

“The contract is over and they are both boring. On your bike,” he said.

Nasser likened the couple to Seb Guilhaus and Elizabeth Sobinoff from season seven and Jules and Cam Merchant from season six (who are married!).

“That Seb and Liz were the same. Now waiting for Jules and door mat [to break up],” he wrote.

Ollie and Tahnee are still living together

Tahnee spoke about her and Ollie’s break up on her podcast Chuffed. While giving some insight into what happened with their relationship, she revealed that she and Ollie are still living together.

She explained that they’ve signed a joint lease together, and with the current high cost of living, they’re still shacked up together despite being broken up.

What did Ollie say about their breakup?

Both Tahnee and Ollie took to their respective Instagram accounts at the same time to share the news of their breakup.

They posted cute pictures of their relationship, and Ollie explained the reason for their breakup in a caption, while Tahnee chose to post a text image and a caption.

“Hello, Tahnee and I have split up. It’s sad, but it’s okay,” Ollie began.

The MAFS golden couple met on MAFS season ten and were together for 16 months, but Ollie explained that they struggled to successfully translate their relationship from the show to the real world.

“There is such a separation from Skye Suites to real life that I think is really hard to account for and (albeit not without trying) was an adjustment that we struggled to make” he said.

What did Tahnee say about their break up?

Tahnee’s breakup post followed a similar sentiment and indicated that the split was amicable.

“Our lives are taking us in different directions and we feel at this stage it’s the best decision for us,” she wrote.

“From meeting as strangers who got “married”, to genuinely finding love, I’m pretty proud of the time we’ve shared. Our journey together has been such a roller coaster but sometimes relationships just don’t work out – no matter how much you want them to – and that’s okay.”

MAFS season 11 will premiere on Nine and 9Now in 2024.
