It’s never easy running into an ex.
But Bachelor runner-up Elise Stacy is likely to be seeing more of Matthew ‘Matty J’ Johnson if recent reports in Private Sydney are anything to go by.
The publication claims the blonde marketing executive is moving into a new house VERY close to the hunk who broke her heart.
Too close for comfort? Bachelor runner-up Elise Stacy is moving 30 SECONDS from Matty J… After winner Laura Byrne hinted she didn’t want her beau to speak to the heartbroken blonde
In fact, the article suggests the property is at most a 30 second walk from his current Bondi pad.
It comes after Elise told The Project she cried watching her brutal breakup replayed in the finale aired on Thursday night.
‘Matty J Matty J’d me!’ the 29-year-old told Yahoo Be when describing being dumped by the marketing manager heartthrob.
She also vented to News.com.au: ‘I was made to feel like it was a very hard decision for him but, later on, I felt p***ed off watching it… Knowing he knew when I told him that I loved him, that he didn’t love me back. Man, I would’ve loved then and there for him to say, “It’s not you”.’
Too soon? The news comes after Elise told The Project she cried watching her brutal breakup replayed in the finale aired on Thursday night
‘If he does, I’ll cut him!’ Winner and accessories designer Laura Byrne has already hinted she would like distance to be made between Matty and her former blonde rival
Winner and accessories designer Laura Byrne has already hinted she would like distance to be made between Matty and her former rival.
When asked if she’d be happy for the two to continue a relationship on The Kyle and Jackie O show on Friday, she said: ‘I’m never going to tell Matty who he can and can’t be friends with.’
When Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes – who was filling in for a sick Kyle Sandilands – quipped that her answer was ‘definitely a no’ Laura erupted into laughter, before joking: ‘But if he does, I’ll cut him!’
Passionate past! As runner-up, Elise shared some very steamy moments with Matty on the matchmaking show and even professed her love for the hunk in numerous episodes
Elise’s new dwelling will likely be in close proximity to Matty’s chosen lady Laura too, as the winning pair have revealed they live very close to each other.
So close in fact, the couple have ruled out the need to move in with each other for the time being.
Holding hands, they cheerily told The Project panel they were not ready to move in together, adding: ‘The beauty that we live so close to each other, it’s not like other couples that have had to move interstate and there’s all that pressure to move quickly… we get the luxury of living close.’

The Sydney-based jewellery designer revealed that her and Elise had been close during filming of The Bachelor but had drifted apart following the finale.
‘Elise and I were friends in the house, we slept in the same room and we did that right up until we went to Thailand,’ she said during the KIIS FM radio chat, while wishing ‘the absolute best’ for Elise.
‘It’s very hard expecting her to put on a brave front and pretend like she could be happy and me pretend like I could be heartbroken to try and keep up the illusion,’ she said.
