The Bachelors Australia 2023‘s Luke Bateman has confirmed that he and Ellie Rolfe have broken up after weeks of speculation.
It was seemingly love at first sight for Luke and Ellie when they met at The Bachelors mansion in 2023, so it was no surprise that the blonde bombshell was the rugby player-turned-lumberjack’s final pick.
However, fans became suspicious that there was trouble in paradise after discovering the duo no longer followed each other on Instagram.
Luke also wiped all traces of his bae from his profile, aside from promotional photos from The Bachelors.
“He’s deleted all her photos, to me that’s a clear sign,” one fan wrote on social media.

Now, the 29-year-old has confirmed that he and Ellie have gone their separate ways.
“Ellie and I have separated and would like to keep our relationship private,” Luke told Yahoo! Lifestyle.
“Ellie has a soul that lights up every room she walks into and I will sorely miss it in my life.”
Luke and Ellie were the final couple from their season to still be together, with Welsey Senna Cortes being dumped in the finale and Ben Waddell revealing just a day after the show finished airing that he’d already split from his final pick.
Ellie has yet to address her breakup with Luke.
