Although she ruffled a few feathers and didn’t make herself a favourite in any of her fellow contestants’ eyes on this season of The Bachelor, we can’t escape the fact that Abbie and Matt have undeniable chemistry and a seemingly unbreakable bond.
Sure, nothing about her experience on the dating show has been easy or pleasant, but one thing’s for sure: Matt and Abbie are drawn to each other like magnets.
Ahead of the astrophysicist’s impossible choice— Abbie or co-star Chelsie— WHO takes a look back at their most memorable moments… from their dreamy dates to the heartwarming moment the 24-year-old looked into Matt’s eyes and told him she was in love, it’s time to take a trip down memory lane!

Their first meeting
We were introduced to Abbie before this season of The Bachelor hit our screens. The property analyst became the bud of a very awkward joke thanks to her astrological quip. The conversation went something like this:
Abbie: Lovely to meet you. What do you do?
Matt: I’m an astrophysicist
Abbie: OK! I’m a Gemini.
*crickets*
Matt: I’m a Leo
While she became a viral meme as a result of the blunder, Matt later cleared the air, revealing she was actually being sarcastic… mmm, sure!
Their first kiss
Before they had the chance to go on a first date, Abbie and Matt infamously shared a kiss behind the other girls’ back during a steamy cocktail party. Her decision to smooch him struck a nerve with many of the other ladies vying for Matt’s heart, instantly making her one of the least popular contestants among the other girls.
Their first date
After making it abundantly clear she was only in the mansion to form a connection with the 32-year-old, Matt and Abbie went on their first single date where they squashed a bucket of fruit with their feet. Yeah, it was really weird.
“The last few times we’ve spent together have been intensely physical I guess,” Matt said at the time. “I’m taking her on a single date so we can explore what this is.”
Their second date
Their sexual chemistry reached a fever pitch during her final single date of the season. The loved up pair role played moving into a new house together, however they spent most of their time making out on a bed! At one point, Abbie even said, “hopefully he just wants to shag.” Alas, their date wasn’t all fun and games. Things took an unexpected turn when Matt revealed that Elly had questioned her motives for being on the show.
“As always, Abbie and I have a massive sexual spark, however I know I need to slow things down,” he said, before explaining that Elly had accused her of joining the series to build her social profile.
As expected, Abbie vehemently denied these allegations.
“This is ridiculous, I honestly thought we were beyond the point of backstabbing each other and sabotaging each other when it comes to Matt,” she said, “for this entire experience I’ve had a target on my back.”

Jetting off to Abbie’s hometown of Brisbane, sparks were flying between the pair as she not only introduced the hunky scientist to her family but (of course) enjoyed a few steamy romps along the way!
Dressed in a high cut leopard print bikini, Matt and Abbie took a dip in the pool where she candidly admitted: “Ideally, my top would be off right now.”
As they made out in the pool, Matt confessed, “It is very, very electric when Abbie and I are together. There is a lot of sexual chemistry and, yeah. I’m really lost in the moment with Abbie today. We are really enjoying each other’s company. But I’m very aware that there are currently two masseuses that I can only imagine are very uncomfortable with what’s going on.”
