After months of speculation, The Bachelors winners Ellie Rolfe and Luke Bateman have finally confirmed that they’ve split.
Ellie and Ben met on the popular reality show which was filmed mid 2023, and were the only pair to stay together after the episode finished airing.
In the following months, Ellie and Luke flaunted their relationship on social media. However, in recent months both reality stars have stopped posting photos together, and they’ve cleaned out their social media so no couple pics remain – except for those related to the show.
Now, Ben has confirmed that he and Ellie have split in a statement to Yahoo Lifestyle Australia.
“Ellie and I have separated and would like to keep our relationship private,” he said. “Ellie has a soul that lights up every room she walks into and I will sorely miss it in my life.”
What has Ellie said about the breakup?
Ellie hasn’t publicly acknowledged the break up yet, apart from wiping non-The Bachelors-related photos of Luke from Instagram.
However, she did post a photo with former The Bachelors 2023 leads Ben Waddell and Thomas Malucelli at Fashion Week earlier this month.
The post drew questions from her followers, who were curious to know if she was still dating Luke.
“Have you and Luke broken up?!? They’re not following each other,” one person wrote. Another penned: “Where’s Luke? Awww no did you end it?”
Is anyone still together from The Bachelors 2023?
In short, nope!
There were two seasons of The Bachelors in 2023. The first starred Felix Von Hofe, Thomas Malucelli and Jed McIntosh.
Felix chose Jess Navin, and the relationship “fizzled out” shortly after, Jed picked Alésia Delaney who casually dated but split weeks after the finale aired, and Thomas got engaged to Leah Cummings in the finale. However, by the time the final episode aired, the couple had already called it quits.
In the second instalment, lead Ben Waddell split with his choice McKenna Lea before the episode aired, and Wesley Senna Cortes broke up with Brea Marshall.
The last couple standing were Ellie and Luke, however, that’s clearly done now too.
