Georgia Love and Lee Elliott have addressed months of speculation in a social media post.
The Bachelorette Australia couple shared the same short statement on their Instagram Story, with white text on a black background to confirm the end of their nine-year relationship.
“After nine wonderful years together, including four as husband and wife, [we] have made the incredibly difficult decision to lovingly part ways,” they wrote.

“Our relationship has been so special and we will always cherish the memories, love, and laughter we’ve shared.
“There is no drama, no bad blood. Just two people who have grown in different directions while still holding deep respect and care for each other.
“We remain friends and we’d really appreciate our privacy as we navigate this next stage. Thank you.”
The couple have been plagued by rumours of their split since the end of 2024, when Love, 35, was spotted without her wedding ring on a number of occasions.
She then took a trip to New York over the Christmas and New Year period, while her 43-year-old husband marked the holidays with his family.
When fans asked if there was any truth to the rumours and the pair had split, Love told followers on social media there was nothing to see here.
”We didn’t, actually,” Love commented.
“Best to stop speculating, least of all on my own page. If I had anything to tell you all, I would do so myself.”
Love and Elliott met on reality TV and were The Bachelorette Australia‘s first couple to make it down the aisle – meeting in 2016, announcing their engagement in 2019 and tying the knot in 2021.
