Alex, the single mother who won, and then lost, the heart of Richie Strahan on The Bachelor in 2016, publicly debuted her new beau in December.

The 28-year-old revealed on Instagram last month that she was in a relationship with Carson, a tradie who owns a floor and wall tiling business.

She shared a gallery of black-and-white photos of the couple on a camping trip, alongside the caption: ‘Nice to meet you, Mr Jory.’

Brief romance: Alex later came out as pansexual and revealed she was engaged to a woman named Maegan Luxa (left), but this relationship didn't last either

They quietly broke up in 2017, after filming the show the previous year.

Alex later came out as pansexual and revealed she was dating a woman, Maegan Luxa, from her local Melbourne footy team. 

They got engaged in December 2017, but split the following April. They remain friends.

Alex did not mention how long they’d been dating, but her friends in the comments section did not seem to be surprised by the announcement.

Fans of The Bachelor will remember Alex as the winner of the fourth season, but her romance with rope-access technician Richie didn’t last.
