When rumours first circulated that Tony could potentially be the star of The Bachelor 2023, fans rushed to apply for their shot at winning his heart however, the speculation sadly did not eventuate. 

While some may have held out hope that Tony would potentially be announced at the latest hopeful on the Australian dating series, it appears that the TV Week Gold Logie nominee has already found love with his girlfriend Rona Glynn-McDonald.

Sharing a collection of affectionate snaps, Tony captioned the post “👀👀. Been a nice time,” with famous friends and fans taking to the comments to share their surprise. 

While the exact timeline of their relationship is unknown, fans believe that the pair have been together since at least November 2022 based on photos Tony and Rona shared together outside a trailer at Rufus Du Sol’s Australian tour.

Although the couple have not shared any greater details about their relationship, Tony and Rona’s romance appears to be continuing to blossom, with the pair now becoming a regular feature on one another’s social media.

In December 2023, the pair made their red carpet debut, attending the NGV Gala 2023 at the National Gallery of Victoria and in July 2024, the pair posed for the cover of Stellar magazine together.

Returning to the red carpet for a second time, the couple attended the 64th TV WEEK Logie Awards in August 2024, with Tony attending the ceremony as one of the year’s Gold Logie nominees.

Looking back on a monumental year, Tony told WHO, “I mean, it’s been good for me! Rona would probably say I’ve just been tired at home.”

While both the couple’s careers may be continuing to make leaps and bounds, Rona shared her support for her partner, adding, “[He’s] exhausted. Absolutely exhausted, but he’s making strides. I’m so proud of him.”
