Carrie Bickmore is reportedly being considered as the leading candidate for a potential reboot of "The Bachelorette." Insiders claim the 45-year-old radio personality is on the network's radar as they aim to revive the matchmaking reality series, which has been on hiatus since 2021. Sources suggest Bickmore might be willing to seek a relationship on television, as her personal dating life has presented challenges.
"Carrie has everything producers are looking for. She's funny, relatable, successful and audiences already feel like they know her," an insider told Woman's Day. "They think she'd make incredible television because people would genuinely be invested in seeing her find love."
This speculation coincides with ongoing rumors linking Bickmore to her radio co-star, Tommy Little. The pair, aged 45 and 41 respectively, have been the subject of romance rumors due to their on-air chemistry and interactions on social media. They have been seen together at various events, including a golf tournament in Adelaide and a trip to Uluru.
During a past event, "The Roast of Carrie Bickmore," Little made a comment about Bickmore's appearance, joking about cosmetic surgery as her secret to looking "better and better." He declared, "She's just getting hotter and hotter."
The persistent rumors about Bickmore and Little follow her public separation from her longtime partner, Chris Walker, in 2023. Bickmore announced their split via Instagram, stating their focus would be on co-parenting their children. She has two daughters, Evie and Adelaide, with Walker, and a son, Ollie, from her marriage to the late Greg Lange, who died in 2010.
Little was reportedly last linked to environmental activist Natalie Kyriacou in 2021.
