They both recently left their Sydney homes over the same weekend, sparking speculation they were on a secret getaway together.
And despite Matty J and Laura Byrne having denied the mystery trip, a new report appears to confirm producers did in fact organise ‘secret weekends away’ for the lovebirds.
Earlier this month, Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed the pair were seen returning to their respective homes with overnight baggage around the same time.
So they DID have a secret getaway? Despite Matty J and Laura Byrne denying they had a secret getaway ahead of the Bachelor finale, a new report appears to confirm that producers did in fact organise ‘secret weekends away’ for the lovebirds
And on Thursday, The Daily Telegraph revealed the couple did in fact have multiple getaways together that were organised by The Bachelor producers.
It appears the getaway wasn’t the only secret moment the couple shared, with Matty recalling an awkward time they bumped into each other at the gym after filming had already wrapped.
‘It was pure coincidence but frustrating because I couldn’t go over to her. I just ran to my phone and said ‘I really want to kiss you right now’,’ he told the publication.

Matty finally declared his love for Laura during the finale episode, choosing her over runner-up Elise Stacy.
His decision surprised nobody except Elise, who was left heartbroken when he revealed he was in love with Laura.
Elise’s heartbreak, along with that of the show’s other contestants, was something which Matty said he wished could have been avoided.
