The Bachelorette's Luke Confirms Past Relationship With Bachelor Winner Laura Bryne

It's a reality TV love triangle! - by Arielle Tsoukatos

The Bachelorette's Luke Confirms Past Relationship With Bachelor Winner Laura Bryne

Tipped to make it all the way to the final on The Bachelorette, Luke McLeod has a lot in common with Bachie alum, Matty Johnson. Aside from the 'tall, dark and handsome' thing, they also emerged as early favourites on their respective seasons, and they both have the same taste when it comes to dating. 

Last week, it was rumoured that Luke and Bachelor winner Laura Byrne dated briefly before either of them had applied for the reality TV shows.

Now, Sophie Monk's frontrunner has confirmed the romance: “We did date for a couple of months, I swear to God it was a complete coincidence,” he told The Daily Telegraph.

The curse of being a jewellery designer is that no one ever gives me jewellery, which sucks because it's one of my favourite things in the whole wide world. @matthewdavidjohnson is the first man brave enough to give this girl a taste of her own medicine and I'm so completely in love with my ring. Thanks for making it so wonderful @larsenjewellery thank goodness it didn't end up looking like a cheezel **jokes** 😉😉😂😆🤣😉🙊

"She’s an amazing woman," he said of Matty J's lucky lady.

"We dated for a couple of months and realised we were better off being really good friends and that’s where things are at now. She’s been so supportive of my journey."

While claims they're back in contact might be hard to believe, considering Laura is completely smitten with Matty, the pair still follows each other on Instagram. 

The jewellery designer even commented on some of Luke's social media posts, writing "all of the jealous" underneath a shirtless photo from Luke's travels in Costa Rica. 

Meanwhile, we're noticing a LOT of similarities between Matty J and Luke M - scroll to see just a sample of their #twinning moments on Instagram.

Been loving training lately! I've always been fairly active but have been putting more focus on getting myself in as good as shape, both mentally and physically, as possible this year. Trying lots of different things from crossfit, yoga, tai chi, high intensity interval training and surfing. I now understand and appreciate more the importance of prioritising your health. I know it's a message that gets flogged so much but it's the truth. By making it a priority you set yourself up to be able to focus more and squeeze as much as possible out of every moment. Now off to check the surf ✌🏼️
