Matty J is a Bachelor no more!
Not only is he the doting fiance to Laura Byrne, but he’s also the proud dad to two adorable little girls – and he has quite the plans in store for them.
In an exclusive chat with WHO, former Bachelor Matty J reveals just how much appearing on Dancing With The Stars has changed his life, impacting not only his wedding plans, but how he’ll bond with his kids.
“I’m treating the wedding dance as serious as I was for the competition of Dancing With The Stars,” Matty J tells WHO.
“I cannot wait to put together the choreography together for the wedding dance,” he quips.
The couple, who famously met on Matty J’s season of The Bachelor, have just started to plan their wedding, with bride-to-be Laura taking to her Instagram to reveal the planning is finally getting ahead.
“Very important meetings this morning… two babies later and we are finally organising our wedding,” she wrote.
Although, Matty J has his own plans for their special day, in particular the first dance between bride and groom.
“I’m thinking it would be nice to do like a little medley like start off with, something slow and romantic like a bit of a waltz, and then it would be nice to transition into something fun like a samba,” he explained.
Matty J was announced as a wildcard on Dancing With The Stars’ All Stars season, and he reveals that while initially it was probably something that he was “most nervous about”, his stint on the show has opened up a whole new sport for him.
“I didn’t think I’d enjoy [dancing] as much as I do,” he spoke candidly.
He also hopes to include eldest daughter Marlie-Mae in the sport when she’s old enough.
Recalling the times his dance partner Ruby opened up about her own memories of dancing with her father, Matty J reveals it’s inspired him to create some special memories of his own.
“Now I think wouldn’t it be amazing when Marlie grows up that some of our fondest memories that we could have together would be dancing,” he said.
The father-of-two says that as soon as his eldest is two-years-old, he’s going to “put her into dancing straight away”.
“Marlie Mae is just so keen on dancing like as soon as a song comes on she’s straight into it,” he said.
