As the rest of Australia counts down the days until 2020 wraps up, Bachelor babes Irena and Locky are relishing every second of the holly, jolly Christmas season.
Nine months after embarking on the red rose-lined road to love, the couple have made plans to spend the summer with their nearest and dearest.
“Spending time with family is everything, so we are doing Chrissy with my family in Western Australia this year and then hitting the road to finally meet my new family over on the East Coast,” Locky shared on Instagram on Thursday. In the pic, the pair could be seen holding hands, while on a romantic beach-front bike ride.
Since moving to Perth, the loved-up pair have been inseparable with the adventure tour guide recently admitting they’ve been together “every single day.”
“I don’t think we’ve spent one day away from each other,” he told Daily Mail Australia.
“I’m the happiest I’ve ever been and I’m pretty sure Irena is just as happy.”
It’s been quite the whirlwind since Locky confessed his love for the brunette beauty in the show’s finale. Just weeks after the episode aired, the 31-year-old packed her bags and moved halfway across the country to live with her beau.
“I still remember how nervous I was stepping out of the limo to meet the Bachelor for the first time but all my nerves instantly faded the moment he held my hands,” Irena captioned a recent IG post.
“I have walked away from this experience with the man of my dreams and also the most incredible friendships.”
She added: “I am so grateful to have taken that leap of faith and followed my heart.”
Meanwhile, Locky believes Irena is his “soulmate” and has been dropping hints that they will soon become husband and wife. Last month, he exclusively told Who that he has something special in mind when the time comes to get down on one knee.
“When it does happen I’m sure I will do something crazy to pop the question,” he said.
Adding fuel to the engagement speculation, Irena has begun referring to Locky’s mum as her ”future mother-in-law” and expressed her love for her new home.
Alongside a photo of herself and Locky on Rottnest Island sharing a kiss, Irena penned: “One very lucky girl 🥰 @locklangilbert #rottnestisland ☀️”
