They are the smitten couple who found love on the 2017 season of The Bachelor.
And it seems Matty ‘J’ Johnson and Laura Byrne started 2018 with a splash with the pair looking suitably loved-up as they cruised around Sydney Harbour on New Year’s Day.
Matty took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a photo that showed the Living Room presenter sitting on the lip of a dinghy while Laura lay at Matty’s feet with an arm perched on his knee.

A shirtless Matty looked every bit the bronzed Aussie, showing off his well-toned form while the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge loomed in the background.
Like her beau, Laura also exuded a healthy summer glow in a simple black bikini.
Her swimwear accentuated her slender legs and enviable torso while also exposing a hint of cleavage.
The couple looked over the moon to be spending quality time on the water, proving that their relationship was in no way lost at sea.

In captioning the photo, Matty sent out a gushing tribute to Laura with; ‘You’re easily the highlight of 2017.’
Matty’s legion of fans were quick to fawn over the romantic photo with comments such as: ‘Favourite Bachie Couple’ and ‘best couple to come out of 2017’.
Another chimed in with a similar: ‘you two are so cute together, happy New year’s Day!! I love you guys.’
Matty sent Australian hearts aflutter in September when he confessed his love for Laura at the Santhiya Koh Yao Yai Resort & Spa in southern Thailand for the Bachelor finale.
‘Laura, I love you,’ he said, as she burst into tears. ‘I really do think you are so perfect.’
