Here's What All The Former 'Bachelor' Cast Had To Say About Last Night's Emotional Finale

Following The Bachelor Australia, it's unsurprising that following the emtional finale–where Locky gave Irena his final rose–former cast from both this season and seasons gone by, took to Instagram to share their own thoughts on the final episode. From gushing well-wishes to Irena to messages of support to Bella, here's what former Bachelor and Bachelorette cast members had to say. 

Irena & Locky

Irena and Locky took to Instagram to share a sweet update on their relationship. "I got the man of my dreams and I couldn’t be happier. I love you so much,' the nurse wrote, alongside a picture of the two from the finale. 

"OMG THE BEST !!! LOVE YOU GUYS ✨❤️," Juliette wrote, with former Bachelor winner Chelsie McLeod adding, "😍😍😍😍😍". 

Rosemary, who some may remeber as the girl who rocked up to the red carpet in a penguin suit, wrote, "IM CRYING WITH HAPPINESS CONGRATULATIONS!! ❤️✨" 

Former castmate of Irena Charly added, "You beautiful thang!!! So happy for you guys xoxoxox", with Gemma adding, "so happy for you beautiful inside and out." 

Under Locky's post, Matty J–who's been in the Bachie shoes–wrote simply, "🙌🙌🙌".

Bella 

Following the emtional episode, Bella also took to Instagram to share her thoughts. "Looking back; I’m proud of myself. I gave it my all, I was true to myself and I wore my heart on my sleeve," she wrote. "Whilst it’s not my fairytale ending, the laughs and the memories will last a lifetime." 

Former stars of the Channel Ten franchise were quick to throw their support behind her. 

Bec, who Bella is rumoured to be living with in Sydney, wrote: "I love you so much my girl 💛💛".

Cassandra–who appeared on Nick 'Honey Badger' Cummins' season, said, "LOVE YOU SO MUCH B ❤️ SO SO PROUD OF YOU ❤️❤️❤️" 

"Babygirl love you soo much !!! 💗💗💗," added Juliette, with Bella Colwell also writing, "It’s coming my love 💞."

I'm not entirely sure where to even start... When Locky told me he loved me and couldn't wait to make me happy for the rest of my life, I believed him and trusted him whole heartedly. We connected on so many levels right from the beginning, some you saw, but most you didn't. Having three months outside of filming completely changed the aspect of the show, it brought normality to the connection and we grew into what felt like a real relationship. Looking back; I'm proud of myself. I gave it my all, I was true to myself and I wore my heart on my sleeve. Whilst it's not my fairytale ending, the laughs and the memories will last a lifetime. I want to say thank you to my on-set Bachelor family who were with me up until the very end, thank you for making me laugh through my endless tears that night. To everyone that supported me on this crazy journey, the people out there who don't even know me but continue to keep the vibes positive and especially the people who got me through a few of the hardest moments, you know who you are, and you're the real ones. I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason and now was not my time, I'll never stop being a hopeless romantic and I'm sure my happily ever after is still out there. Hopefully I don't need to kiss too many more frogs 🐸✨
