We already know that The Bachelor Australia will be undergoing a huge shake-up in 2022, but could The Bachelorette’s Luca Fraraccio be taking on the top job?

As reported in episode 144 of the So Dramatic! podcast, host Megan Pustetto revealed some pretty damning evidence with a major clue that points to YES!

Since the speculation that The Bachelor and The Bachelorette will be rolled into one season in 2022, fans have been wondering which guy and gal will take on the rose giving ceremonies.

And now, Luca has piqued our interest with a cryptic post to Instagram.

Why Could Luca Fraraccio be the Next Bachelor Australia?

Taking to his stories during the week, Luca revealed he had “good news and bad news”.

The good news was that he had been “presented with an opportunity for the next couple of months” which he can’t say too much (or anything) about.

“But it’s very exciting and I can’t wait to share it with you all,” he said. “I’ll be off socials as of tomorrow.”

Luca revealed that he was going off socials for three months after getting a "big opportunity".

The bad news, however, is that Luca was going to be raising funds for SurFebruary for Chris O’Brien’s Lifehouse and now due to this mysterious new opportunity, he is unable to do so.

A few months away from socials? It’s gotta be a TV show, right? And by TV show, we mean The Bachelor Australia!

Who Is Luca Fraraccio?

Luca is a HOT AF Italian model, actor and influencer. Not only is he now a reality TV star, but he has a brown belt in Jiu-Jitsu.

The Italian stallion is also a health and physical education teacher from QLD.

Originally from Tasmania, the model revealed to The Bachelorette’s Brooke Blurton that he was “here for love” and “looking forward to getting to know you.”

According to his official bio, the star and Brooke had a lot in common.

“We both work with children, love sport (especially AFL), are both into travelling and enjoying what life has to offer,” he said.

Then describing himself, he admitted he was “funny, effervescent, caring, inspirational, and friendly.” Love this for us!

Luca Fraraccio Had a Reality TV Connection BEFORE The Bachelorette Australia

While this may be the first time we’ve seen the muscly hunk on our screens, Luca already had connections to the world of Aussie reality TV.

In fact, he previously dated another Bachie franchise alum, Charley Bond!

Also from QLD, the pair were literally “obsessed” with one another, before ending their brief fling.

To say we’d be thrilled having Luca as The Bachelor is an understatement and we’re hoping that our theory is on the money.
