Sunny and Bear have been together since April 2025 when filming of The Golden Bachelor ended and he chose her out of the 20 women vying for his heart.

They’ve since blended their families with Bear a father to three sons, Charlie, 22, Jack, 21 and Declan 18, and Sunny a mum to daughters Chloe, 29, and Penelope, 25.
“I know I made the right decision at the end 100 percent,” Bear told nine.com.au after the finale.
“Sunny is full of life and joy and if anything seeing everything play out just reassured me that I made the right decision.”
Bear was Nine’s first-ever Golden Bachelor and captured hearts around the nation when he opened up about losing his wife Audrey to brain cancer in 2013.
