She was known for her constant crying and being the only contestant to walk from the mansion, but season eight Bachelor star Roxi Kenny has moved on from Locky Gilbert with a new man.
The 30-year-old mechanical engineer and her boyfriend Harrison Feary went Instagram official on Wednesday.
In one photo, Roxi sweetly kisses Harrison on the cheek whilst the second showed the couple smiling with their arms around one another.
“From best friend to boyfriend,” she captioned the loved-up snaps along with the hashtag, #goodthingscometothosewhowait.
Roxi’s Bachelor co-stars were quick to share their congratulations in the comments section.
“Oh I love!” Steph Harper gushed.
“Awwwwwwwww I love this,” wrote the season’s runner-up, Bella Varelis.
Roxi became one of this year’s Bachelor breakout stars thanks to her frequent meltdowns at cocktail parties and famously walked off the show after contestant Juliette Herrera pushed her to her limits.
In an exclusive chat with Who after her exit, Roxi stood by her views that Bachelor Locky Gilbert was inappropriate for kissing lots of the girls throughout filming.
“In my mind I thought that you can get to know girls without hooking up with them,” she revealed. “You can chat to them and get to know more about their background rather than make out with all of them – it’s not the Playboy mansion!”
She added: “I was hoping for a Bachelor who was respectful of all the girls and didn’t feel the need to be going around doing that. If that’s what he wants to do, that’s up to him at the end of the day.”
The Brisbane-based beauty also explained that whilst she is a crier, the mansion exacerbates everyone’s emotions and she doesn’t regret any of her actions.
“I stayed true to myself in the house and I was trying to be as authentic as possible,” she said.
“What you see is what you get, even though it’s a heightened version of me – I don’t cry that much but I am a crier.”
Roxi admitted that the only thing she wished she didn’t “spiral out of control on” was Locky’s sneaky kiss with Bella at a cocktail party.
“I kind of carried on like a bit of an idiot and I wasn’t thrilled with my performance! But I don’t necessarily regret any of my actions, I guess I could’ve handled myself a little bit better in a few of the situations.”
Meanwhile Roxi’s former Bachelor flame Locky is still head over heels for his chosen winner, Irena Srbinovska and the two are currently residing in his hometown of Perth.
In fact, the couple have plans to tie the knot and the adventure travel guide already has big ideas for how he’ll propose.
“We have definitely spoken about our future plans of marriage, it’s on the cards but for now we are happy with our plans of travelling around Australia,” Locky told Who earlier this month.
“But when does happen I’m sure I will do something crazy to pop the question.”
