Lee Elliott is signaling he may be moving on after his split from Georgia Love, as new photographs show the former reality star getting cosy with a mystery brunette in Croatia. The 44-year-old was in the coastal town of Jelsa to celebrate the wedding of friends Sam Lewin and Mandi Buncuga, documenting the trip on Instagram with a series of celebratory posts.
During the wedding, Elliott wore a classic black tuxedo for the ceremony and appeared at the reception seated beside a brunette who seemed to be a bridesmaid, smiling widely for the camera with his arm around her. In other shots, he posed with a group by the water, again with the woman’s arm around his waist. In one post, he captioned the moment, “Still smiling from the most magical week celebrating the Lewins in beautiful Jelsa, Croatia.”
The Croatia trip arrives amid long-running romance rumors involving Elliott and Carrie Bickmore. Woman’s Day had previously alleged that the former Bachelorette contestant had been spending considerable time at Bickmore’s home and that the pair’s relationship was heating up, with a source saying they were keeping things quiet but that “there’s definitely something romantic going on.” The speculation gained additional fuel when Elliott liked a post from Bickmore on Instagram after she attended the 2025 Logies in August, where she wore a glamorous gold dress at The Star.
Elliott’s relationship status has been under scrutiny since he and Georgia Love, whom he wed in 2019 after meeting on The Bachelorette in 2016, announced their separation in February. The couple posted identical messages on Instagram, saying that after nine wonderful years together, including four as husband and wife, they had decided to part ways with “no drama, no bad blood,” and that they would remain friends while navigating the next stage of their lives. The split followed a period of speculation, including reports that the pair had spent Christmas apart and had been seen without their wedding bands, prompting fans to wonder about the state of their relationship.
Daily Mail representatives reached out to Elliott for comment, but there was no immediate response. As the Croatia trip continues to unfold on Elliott’s social feeds, observers will watch whether the Bravo-style moment at the wedding signals a genuine new chapter, or simply a temporary foray into dating as he processes the end of his marriage to Love. In the meantime, Elliott has publicly shared memories from the trip, underscoring a period of reflection and personal transition as he moves forward.
