Abbie mentioned her father during an interview with Who Magazine in May last year, as she discussed how supportive her family had been after The Bachelor.
She thanked her family for looking after her when trolls would slam her with negative comments, saying: ‘Trolls try to get to me by saying things like, “What would your father think?”
‘I’m like, “Umm my father left when I was born, so, not sure.” But my uncle is pretty stoked about it all. He’s so proud of me.’

Abbie recently shared a number of throwback photos from when she was growing up to her Instagram page.
She revealed she didn’t quite avoid the questionable noughties trends that were all the rage a decade ago, sharing a string of throwback photos from her year 10 formal to prove it.
In the images, which were taken from a photo booth, Abbie is seen with jet black ‘box dyed’ hair and a bold blue smokey eye as she gave various pals a peck on the cheek.
‘According to Facebook my Semi formal 10 years ago,’ she captioned the images.
‘No one ever let me wear a dark blue smokey eye with a light beige lipstick and black box dyed hair ever again.’
Abbie also reminded herself ‘not to care too much what I look like’, because ‘no matter how much effort I put in, I’m going to cringe at myself in a decade.’
‘Also to anyone in high school, don’t care too much what boys think of you because you will look back at photos in 10 years and have to use every last brain cell to remember their names,’ she added.
