When Richie Strahan chose Alexandra Nation, 25, on The Bachelor Australia finale, runner-up Nikki Gogan was left heartbroken.
You saw me fall head over heels and I was that, but I need to remember Iโm not the first and I wonโt be the last person to fall in love with someone who wonโt love me back,โ the Perth-girl said at the time.
Its little wonder that โNikki and Richieโ fans were feeling excited when Alex confirmed the split on Monday (via New idea). Taking to social media one follower wrote, โAre you and Ritchie dating now?โ
The blonde beauty shut down any speculation that she and Strahan were dating, blunting replying, โHi no, we arenโt xโ
It appears Goganโs followers have her best interest in mind, with one writing, โIโm sure he has reached out to you for another chance by now. Iโm glad you didnโt give in.โ


Nikki has previously said, โI am nowhere near being ready to date again. I know I will find my person, I am not feeling like that will never happen. And I do believe everything happens for a reason so in some crazy way, this might be a turning point for me,โ she told The Daily Telegraph.
With her affable nature, Nikki would make the perfect Bachelorette Australia, who agrees?
