Since confirming their relationship in 2024, Abbie Chatfield and her boyfriend Adam Hyde have quickly become one of social media’s new favourite romances.
Returning to Abbie’s It’s a Lot podcast for their second joint episode, the couple looked back on their relationship as they marked their one-year anniversary.
“Someone said ‘He brings out a softer side of you that I haven’t usually seen,’ to which I say I’m a soft little – I’m a soft serve,” Abbie joked.
Reflecting on the moment they fell in love with one another, Abbie shared, “I think I was in love with you before we were even together. I think I did love you before,” with Adam continuing, “Yeah, I think we were both in love before that.”

The couple also clapped back at the negative commentary surrounding their relationship dynamic, with Adam addressing social media comments that he had been “trapped” in their relationship.
“[That comment] shows how insecure that person would be, because it’s saying that they could never be with someone as powerful and beautiful and smart as you. I know I’ve chosen to be here because I want to be here.”
“On that tour I just did, young women would come up to me and just be like, ‘You have no idea how much I’ve learned from your girlfriend,’ so no, I’m not f***ing embarrassed,” he continued.

In a full-circle moment for fans, Abbie and Adam first confirmed their romance on the former Bachelor star’s podcast in 2024, with the news following weeks of speculation surrounding who Abbie’s rumoured new boyfriend was.
“We’re so in love and we love talking about it,” Abbie revealed at the time, later sharing that the couple first crossed paths in 2022 after interviewing the Peking Duk star on her radio show.
“We’d see each other and we’d make out and we’d not talk afterwards,” she shared, with Adam continuing that their relationship, “never lined up because it was never opened up to that.”

Adam also shared that the pair’s early relationship “was like something out of a fairytale,” later telling Abbie, “I’m so in love with you. As far as this relationship goes, I’m willing to go all the way. I don’t have any reservations.”
While the news may have come as a surprise to some, many fans had already caught the hints of Abbie and Adam’s romance after she first made mention of her “new crush” a few months earlier on her podcast.
“He makes everything sparkly. He’s so funny… I just love being around him and he makes me so happy,” she said at the time, adding “I cry every day because of how happy I am. He’s just been the kindest, most supportive person.”
In the following months, Abbie further shared a brief insight into her early romance with Adam, saying, “The person I’m dating now, as we know, I knew them for a while and I had a big fat crush on them for a very long time.”

Although Abbie did not directly name Adam as her new partner until June 2024, fans were quick to connect the pair after they were spotted together at the Australian Grand Prix.
“I saw the chemistry lol – if it’s who I think it is recently Abbie 10/10,” commented one fan.
“Adam is one of the greatest humans of all time. Good for you guys,” added another.

In May 2024, Abbie shared on Instagram that the pair were holidaying together in Mexico, sharing a subtle first glimpse of her new beau while at the beach.
“Wow not me looking at all the guys you follows foot pics to see if I can work out who it is,” MasterChef star Khanh Ong replied to the post, with many fans also taking to the comments to express their curiosity.
The following day, Abbie made headlines after she shared a snap leaning against her partner’s stomach alongside the tongue-in-cheek caption “semi-soft launch.”
While fans continued to re-share the hilarious snap on social media, Abbie later clarified that her double entendre was unintentional.
“[Media coverage] is making us both piss ourselves because we really didn’t mean for it to be penis centric. We just took a photo because we were taking a video together. We’re doing a daily vlog, not really, It’s a personal joke.”

Following her initial post, fans also spotted Abbie responding to posts on Adam’s solo music project Keli Holiday’s Instagram page, replying to a recent promo snap of Adam with the comment, “This is so hot lmao … and by that I mean the music x.”
Supporting the launch of his new EP Jesterman, Abbie also shared a video to Instagram lip-syncing along to his song doyoulikeitornot?, with Abbie joking in the caption, “heard this random song from this random new EP and felt inspired to create a little something in Mexico 💕 does anyone know the artist??????? someone help!”
Who has Abbie Chatfield dated?
Prior to her romance with Adam Hyde, Abbie shared in January 2024 that she had recently experienced a breakup, however, her partner’s identity had not been made public during their relationship.
“Hot tip to anyone in life in general – don’t date anyone where you can look up interviews of them on YouTube,” Abbie shared on her podcast, adding, “I haven’t cried about a breakup or missing someone this much in a very long time.”
Before commenting on her most recent relationship, Abbie was previously in an open relationship with former Bachelorette star Konrad Bien-Stephen.

The former couple first went public with their relationship in November 2021 and shared further details of their relationship dynamic on Abbie’s podcast.
“Mummy and daddy aren’t breaking up. We’re just having a different structure to our relationship. So we’re open. We’re in an open relationship, which we love,” Abbie shared.
In September 2022, Abbie confirmed that the couple had parted ways, sharing that she would be keeping any further relationship details out of the spotlight.
“I probably won’t ever share my relationship publicly again to be honest because of this whole situation and the way the media have f***ing reported on it… Like my relationship is a game… it’s quite f***ed,” she added.
