Lee Elliott, a figure from Australia's "The Bachelorette," has publicly revealed his new relationship with Melbourne-based dancer and model Brooke McAuley. Elliott confirmed the romance on Sunday via a social media post featuring a photograph of the couple together.
In the image, Elliott, 45, is seen with his arm around McAuley, with both individuals gazing at each other against a scenic backdrop. Elliott accompanied the post with a rocket emoji, often interpreted as a symbol of new beginnings or rapid progress.
McAuley has a background in professional ballet and has worked as an ambassador for several luxury brands, including Louis Vuitton, Mecca, and Jaggad. She is also described as a regular attendee of exclusive events within Melbourne's modeling community and has been previously married.
The announcement comes approximately a year and a half after Elliott and his ex-wife, Georgia Love, announced their separation. Love and Elliott first met during the 2016 season of "The Bachelorette." They shared identical posts on Instagram in February 2025, stating their decision to part ways after nine years together, including four years of marriage.
At the time of their separation, Elliott and Love emphasized that their decision was mutual and free of animosity. "There is no drama, no bad blood. Just two people who have grown in different directions while still holding deep respect and care for each other," their joint statement read. They also requested privacy as they navigated their next stages individually.
Speculation about the couple's split had been circulating among followers prior to their official announcement. This was fueled by the pair spending Christmas apart and Love taking a solo trip to New York City. The absence of their wedding bands in public appearances also contributed to the rumors.
