They were both objects of Matthew ‘Matty J’ Johnson’s affection.
And Woman’s Day reports Georgia Love, who rejected Matty on The Bachelorette, and Laura Byrne, who won his heart on The Bachelor, are ‘anything but friendly’.
The magazine claimed on Monday the brunette lookalikes had a ‘stand-off’ when they came face to face at the Melbourne Cup last week.

Georgia once expressed how ‘weird’ it was watching Matty be courted by hopeful women on The Bachelor after having him romance her as a Bachelorette contestant.
‘It is a bit weird seeing Matty because the last time I saw him was on that roof top in Singapore,’ she told Confidential in August, referring to their emotional farewell.

‘So it’s strange to see him there dating and kissing and stuff, but he had to sit there and watch me do that as well,’ she admitted.
