Jimmy Nicholson and Holly Kingston are on the fast track. It was kind of obvious from the outset that the 27-year-old Sydney beauty would win the heart of the handsome pilot, 31, on the 2021 season of The Bachelor Australia – and now they’re well and truly in cruise mode, with a wedding location locked in, the honeymoon sorted and baby plans in motion.

Here, WHO sits down with the loved-up Bachelor duo, who are living their best lives in North Bondi.
How’s living together?
NICHOLSON: It’s been really good. We haven’t really had many fights. And when we do, we just smile at each other after 10 minutes and have a laugh.
It happened quite quickly!
KINGSTON: I’ve had quite a few friends and family say, “Do you want to move in together straight away on the back end of a reality show?” When we decided we would, we hadn’t even gone on a coffee date or gone to a restaurant yet, because we’d been living in secret. So we’ve kind of done everything in reverse! But we’re still very much in the honeymoon phase. It still feels like a nice sleepover each night, but ask me again next week and see what I say [laughs].
You’ve been out of hiding and lockdown for a few months now, what are your favourite things to do together?
KINGSTON: We’re finding comfort in the little things. We walk to the gym together and do F45 each morning, then we come back and make a smoothie. We try and make a bit of a habit out of that – going to the gym and then going for a swim down at Bondi. Then we come home and start our work.
You’ve been working on a brand new web travel series, 100 Honeymoons. Tell us about that …
NICHOLSON: I’m still flying but I’m part-time now, so the question was: what can we do outside of that for a bit of fun? So we launched 100 Honeymoons, where we test drive honeymoons.
What location would actually be your dream honeymoon?
KINGSTON: We both say Italy. Not that we’re married yet. Hurry up, Jimmy [laughs]. We’ve had chats about wanting to do a destination wedding in Italy, and have a small wedding. Jimmy and I have an unhealthy obsession with pasta! So yes, we want to do Italy and then travel around the Greek Islands, too.
You really are doing everything in reverse – the honeymoon before the wedding!
KINGSTON: Yes, it’s a bit bizarre.
NICHOLSON: We’ll be experts come our real honeymoon.
Is an engagement on the cards for 2022?
NICHOLSON: It’s definitely on the cards. We do want to take things at a regular pace, but also I’ve got no reservations about Holly and I being together – I figured that out pretty quickly. And I’m 32 now, and we’ve both previously been in long-term relationships. All my mates are getting married and having kids, and Holly’s getting really clucky [laughs].
Would you have kids before the wedding?
NICHOLSON: Ideally, we’d do a wedding before a baby, but you know what? If it happens in reverse, we’d be happy with that.
