All The Former Bachelor & Bachelorette Australia Contestants Who Ended Up Dating Each Other

9 unlikely couples who found love outside of the reality TV show with fellow contestants - by Chelsea Tromans
  • 08 Nov 2019
All The Former Bachelor & Bachelorette Australia Contestants Who Ended Up Dating Each Other

It’s a small world, especially when you’re a reality TV star in Australia. You go to all the same events and are guaranteed to constantly run into each other. So unsurprisingly, a lot of former The Bachelor and The Bachelorette contestants who lucked out (or in some cases, dodged a bullet) on being the final chosen one on the show went on to find love with other fellow contestants.

Of course, there’s a show that’s literally dedicated to such a scenario - Bachelor in Paradise - and while some of the couples in this list found love there, most of them crossed paths with each other in the real world. A couple of them even met on the show.

Abbie Chatfield and Todd King

Abbie Chatfield may have made it through to the finale on Matt Agnew's season of The Bachelor, but few believed her heart was ever really in it. While she was in the mansion, rumour has it she was texting Todd King from Ali Oetjen's season of The Bachelorette. Since the show wrapped up, Abbie has been spotted kissing Todd on numerous occasions, semi-confirming that the pair are currently dating (see the photos here). When asked recently on Outspoken The Podcast about whether she was dating Todd, she said, “Umm…I mean…I don’t know…I like him."

Head over to @outspoken_the_podcast to hear a chat with me! We talk about life post bachie , mental health issues, the #metoo movement and I disappoint everyone explaining those photos with Todd. Link in story 💕

Renee Barrett and Ciarran Stott

Before Angie Kent’s season of The Bachelorette had even aired, rumours were making the rounds that the only reason Ciarran Stott signed up for the reality show is because he spotted his ex, Renee Barrett, on Matt Agnew’s season. On Renee’s Instagram account, she recently posted an image of her with a mystery man who looks a lot like Ciarran, from the bleached blonde ponytail to the neck tattoo that Ciarran has added since leaving the show. The pair also both live in Darwin...

Keira Maguire and Jarrod Woodgate

Keira (who was on Richie Strahan's season) and Jarrod (who made it to Sophie Monk’s top two) started dating after meeting on season two of Bachelor in Paradise. After an on-again-off-again relationship, they confirmed their split in August.

Megan Marx and Tiffany Scanlon

The first same-sex couple to come out of the Bachelor franchise, Megan Marx and Tiffany Scanlon found love during Richie Strahan's season of The Bachelor in 2016, only it wasn’t with the bachie. They dated up until mid-2017. According to Megan, flaunting their relationship publicly was one of the reasons it broke down.

My biggest accomplishment in my arms on the first day of 2017.

Megan Marx and Jake Ellis

After her breakup with Tiffany, Megan went on the 2016 season of Bachelor in Paradise and fell for ex-Bachelorette contestant Jake Ellis (from Georgia Love’s season). They dated for almost three years, but after their third breakup, they decided they didn’t work as a couple and would just be friends.

Well, 2018. What can I say. You've been a bit of a bitch. But I'm coming into 2019 with a few very nice experiences and people (inc this hottie @jakeellis86 ) so I guess I'll let it go. Catch ya never!

Tara Pavlovic and Sam Cochrane

Tara (from Matty J’s season) and Sam (from Sophie Monk’s season) didn’t just fall in love on the 2017 season of Bachelor in Paradise, they got engaged on the final episode. But their relationship didn’t last long outside of paradise. Within a few months they had called it quits, with Sam claiming Tara assaulted him and Tara saying it was as a result of Sam’s infidelity confession.

This message goes out to all the beautiful people who shared with me such an amazing journey. The fairytale that I took part in was deep and surreal. My proposal was meant to be forever but life sometimes takes you away from the dream and you wake up. So...deep breath.... this has come to an end. I loved Tara with my whole heart and those two people in Fiji fell completely. It's hard writing this thinking back to those moments. Your joy in our story and the engagement meant so much and I can assure you it is the saddest thing for me to come to terms with. Watching something you valued fall apart and what you love follow a different path is one of the most difficult things. My heart feels broken and obviously having it play out in public adds so many difficult dimensions. I forgot about the cameras in Fiji and I simply fell in love. The truth is difficult but the path ahead will show the way. Obviously there has been speculation for some time but I needed to know for sure before making anything public. That has been hard. Our time together will always hold a beautiful and difficult place in my heart and I have to believe that everything happens for a reason. Thank you everyone for the beautiful support and being on this journey. In a time that was mostly in hiding your words provided magic. I look forward to the future. I got to see that love is real and powerful.... and it is. I'll find it again. ❤️✨💫🌹🥀

Sarah Mae Amey and Dave Billsborrow

Sarah Mae (from Tim Robard’s season) was introduced to Dave via Sarah Mae’s best friend Sam Frost (who happened to be the bachelorette on Dave’s season). While they apparently hit it off straight away and began dating in November 2015, they broke up just a few months later.

Rachael Arahill and Vakoo Kauapirura

A couple we certainly never saw coming, Rachael Arahill and Vakoo Kauapirura were seen kissing in public at a Sydney restaurant in August. According to a source, they actually shared their first kiss in the mansion after the first cocktail party. When OK! asked Rachael about their relationship, she said, "We're just keeping it casual for now, but I don't know exactly what label you'd put on it".

Samuel Johnston and Noni Janur

A Bachelor/Bachelorette couple that has lasted three years and counting, Samuel Johnston (from Georgia Love's season) and Noni Janur (from Richie Strahan's season) met on the publicity circuit and confirmed their relationship in 2017 via a Valentine’s Day Instagram post. They're currently in a long-distance relationship but seem to be going strong.

It breaks my heart every time I have to say goodbye and I miss you already! Going from spending every second with you 24/7 to not knowing when I'll see you next 🙇🏽‍♀️ But I'm bloody proud of us ❤️ It's not the funnest or easiest thing being in a LDR, but it's really a blessing to have a relationship built on communication and trust 🔒I love us! 👫 Go bestie, that my muhfuckin' best friend 😍
