The Challenge Australia 2022’s Konrad Bien-Stephen and Aussie singer Thelma Plum have confirmed they are dating with a steamy New Year’s pash on Instagram.

ICYMI: The duo sparked dating rumours in late 2022 after they were spotted getting cosy at an event in December.

Ever a sucker for debuting a relationship via public smooch (remember those pap pics with Abbie Chatfield?), Konrad then took to his Instagram Story to ring in 2023 with a cheeky hard-launch.

In the clip, Konrad, 32, and Thelma, 28, cuddled at Falls Festival before sharing a kiss as the clock struck 12.

Our New Year’s resolutions are already coming to fruition: witness more EPIC reality romances… CHECK!

Thelma also shared a couple of snaps of the pair on her own Story, with a kiss-mark emoji seemingly foreshadowing what was ahead for them.

Throwback to December 10: the Herald Sun reported that the reality TV alum appeared “smitten” with the popular songstress as they attended a black-tie gala at the National Gallery of Victoria.

However, Konrad tried to throw us off the scent by issuing a statement about his relationship with Thelma, saying they were just buds.

“Thelma and I, we’re friends and she is a beautiful person,” he said. “Amazing musician and she looked amazing.”

Oh, how the tables have very quickly turned…

Neither party have reaffirmed their romance publicly, but we are certain more sexy content is on the way. Happy New Year to us!
