Here’s a Bachelor universe couple we didn’t see coming: Nick “Honey Badger” Cummins and Ali Oetjen.
The pair, who were both starred as the 2018 Bachelor and Bachelorette Australia respectively, are rumoured to be dating after developing a connection on the set of (yet another) reality show, SAS Australia.
According to New Idea, Ali is “keen to take her relationship with the former rugby player to the next level”, following her split from Taite Radley.
An insider also told the outlet that the former Bachelor, who had one of the most controversial seasons to date, is “definitely Ali’s type in every way” and that “they could totally see these two together”.
New Idea also noted that the pair have plenty in common (besides both appearing on multiple reality TV franchises), as they both enjoy fitness and the outdoors.
We are sceptical as to the timeline, however, as filming for SAS Australia wrapped at the end of September, at which point Ali shared an emotional Instagram post in which she revealed she is still recovering from her breakup.
“You always see happy me, this is me today & has been my daily occurrence since my breakup, it’s bloody slow healing, sadness & hurt fill my whole body,” she wrote in the caption.
Neither Ali nor Nick have confirmed the rumour themselves at this stage.
