While fans were elated about the news, others were left scratching their head about his VERY recent girlfriend who he met on Survivor, Brooke Jowett.
Writing a lengthy post on Instagram, Brooke has explained how she feels.
“My side of our story. Yes, I’m hurt and a little blindsided (excuse the pun) but I wish the best for Locky, I always will.
“I guess we had different things planned in our heads for what was to come over the next few months but you can’t be mad at someone for doing what they feel is best for them, even if it does sting a little.
“In no way am I or is my Survivor experience defined by Locky or any other man. I was never hiding in his shadow in the game and I won’t be hiding in his shadow now. But I will always cherish those times we shared, it was an amazing life experience.”
“I know I have bigger and better things in store (maybe not bigger actually, Locky is pretty bloody big) but definitely better. I hope he finds what he’s looking for.
“P.S It looks like I’m now going solo to Bali next month. Any takers?”
That’s right, the pair had planned a holiday together in April! Ouch.
Thankfully, supporters flooded the comments section to share the love.
“Such a bloody FOOL. You my dear are an absolute ANGEL 100/10 whole package and much better things aka MEN (basically the rest of Australia) are going to be banging down your door!!! Sending you so much love,” wrote TV presenter and former Miss Universe Australia, Monika Radulovic.
Moana Hope, fellow Survivor star, also commented making a dig at Locky. “You deserve a Prince Charming. And He will come don’t you worry.”
Locky’s friend, Lee Elliott wrote, “Well said, legend.”
Survivor star David Genat’s even commented, “Paging @bacheloretteau.”
