Bachelorette: Why Angie Kent and Carlin Sterritt won't confirm split

Jabeen Waheed

Angie Kent and Carlin Sterritt's romance has played out rather tumultuously in the public eye and has raised a fair few eyebrows in recent weeks.

With Carlin dismissing persistent split rumours, Angie telling inquisitive Instagram followers to 'stay out of it', and the two even unfollowing each other on social media - confused fans have been left in the dark as to why the pair haven't yet come clean about their relationship status.

And the answer may just lie in the pair's hugely successful 'influencer' careers on Instagram, which has seen them rake in thousands of dollars thanks to a slew of joint sponsorship deals - deals that may not be as lucrative if they were to part ways.

This year alone, well-known companies such as Listerine, Nissan and Ecosa Sleep have sponsored the genetically-gifted twosome in exchange for promotion (usually in the form of a picture or short video) on their Instagram platforms.

Earlier this year, the pair were wined at dined at a luxurious retreat in the famous Hunter Valley, while Angie - who picked Carlin as her winner on The Bachelorette last year - has been lavished with endless supplies of makeup from MCo Beauty.  

Until recently, Angie and Carlin had been living up to their reputation as Australia's hottest new 'influencer' couple, arguing over who had the worst 'morning breath' in their Listerine ad and gushing that they wanted to 'slosh out with each other for 24 hours' while showing off a comfortable new mattress.

While countless reality stars have made solo careers for themselves on social media, good-looking couples - particularly those with fairytale love stories like Angie and Carlin - are a lucrative alternative for brands who are guaranteed to pay generously.

However, the pair have yet to confirm if they have split, and if so, the reason behind their break-up.

Another reason behind their split may be The Bachelorette's 'love contract', which is rumoured to force contestants to stay together for a certain time period. That, too, hasn't been confirmed.

It's been a few weeks since the pair uploaded an image together, and curious fans have bombarded Angie and Carlin's Instagram profiles demanding an update on their romance.

Earlier this week, Carlin's manager told KIIS FM's Kyle and Jackie O Show that the rumours were simply 'untrue'.

He clarified that the couple were following each other on Instagram again, after they had briefly unfollowed each other last week.

'Carlin as recently as Thursday has publicly denied the rumours, they are untrue,' his manager said in a statement.

'Angie is on a pre-planned holiday in Queensland with her family while she has the chance.'

On Sunday, Angie fuelled break-up speculation when she told fans to 'stay out of it' after they noticed the pair had unfollowed each other on Instagram.

The former Gogglebox star also blamed the unfollowing on a 'glitch in the system'.

She wrote on the BachieFunny Instagram fan account on Sunday: 'Leave it. If you don't know, you don't know.'

Interestingly, Angie did not deny they had split up. Instead of clarifying the status of their relationship, she told people it was 'none of their business'.

Only Queensland residents, residents of border communities undertaking essential activities and those considered an ‘exempt person’ are allowed to enter Queensland via air, sea, rail or road from another State or Territory.

If you meet the criteria for an ‘exempt person’ (see below for more details—‘Who is allowed to enter Queensland?’), then please consider applying online for a Queensland Entry Pass to avoid delays at the border.

Even if a person is a Queensland resident or resident of a border community, they must self-quarantine if they have been in a declared COVID-19 hotspot in Australia in the last 14 days, unless they were in the hotspot for an essential purpose, like going to a funeral, or they need to enter Queensland again for an essential purpose, for example to work.

There are special requirements for agribusiness and commercial fishing employees or contractors entering Queensland for work. They must self-quarantine if they have been in a declared COVID-19 hotspot in Australia in the last 14 days.

People moving to Queensland to take up permanent residence will be allowed to enter, but will also be required to self-quarantine for 14 days, which could be at the new residential address.
