They’ve finally gone public as a couple after their months-long courtship broadcast to Australia.
And ex-Bachelor stars have been among the first to congratulate Laura Byrne and Matty Johnson on their blossoming relationship, taking to social media to share their well-wishes.
But there were some notable stars who didn’t share the love online, including one ex-contestant who revealed they wouldn’t be watching at all.
