I was curious so I listened:

Re: Alex (?) from MAFS - After restrictions were lifted and gatherings of like 10 people were allowed, he went over to a friends house and that’s where he met her. Didn’t know who she was before that. They just spoke briefly, had a few drinks, she went home, he went home, that’s it. Irena laughed off allegations that he was flirting that night. She said they were actually on the phone throughout the party, he was sending her pics from the party. Locky seemed a little annoyed by that rumour imo.

Him asking Clare Lucinda to come in as an intruder - Locky says this is just out of context. It was before the show, people were reaching out to congratulate him on being the bachelor, he joked about how funny it would be if she came in as an intruder. Wasn’t a serious thing where he insisted, he just made a joke about how funny it would be. He says Clare’s a really nice girl, they have stuff in common, talked for hours about scuba stuff, but she’s just a friend.

Rumored Bella text the night before FRC - He didn’t have his phone, neither did Bella. Irena says they all got their phones back the exact same time, the day after the finale was filmed.

Contract rumours - No he wasn’t forced to take Bella to F2. He felt strongest about Bella and Irena and that’s why they were the F2. He was never forced to keep or eliminate anyone he didn’t want to.

Did Matty J introduce him to Bella at an event at Bondi before the show - No. Locky says he’s never met up with Matty in Sydney, and he’s never even been to Bondi.

Are Locky & Irena still together & in love? - they joke about the contract rumours, Irena asks when it’s up so she can get back to her other boyfriend. Locky says if he was an actor he would’ve cried better. Then they say they’re together, in love, and then they start talking about future plans.

They spoke about other things as well but there was a section to address rumours, and those are what were addressed.

BTW who starts all these rumours?  Have Channel 10 got a 'misinformation officer'?

The Bachelor's Locky Gilbert and Irena Srbinovska stepped out for a romantic picnic on Saturday.

The couple couldn't keep their hands - or lips - off each other as they enjoyed lunch in a Sydney park.

Irena and Locky shared a passionate kiss as they spent quality time together, just two days after the show's finale aired.

Funny how they got the pap pics and put the story together so fast.

Are we meant to believe this was a genuine, spontaneous outing?  Yeah nah.  



The set is dressed like a classic Bach SD; they even have a TPTB style cheese platter.  

Looks to me like nothing but a show for the cameras, which does not bode well, IMO.
