Carrie Bickmore’s ex-partner Chris Walker is reportedly ‘hurt’ following the reports that his ex and Tommy Little have been growing close.
In January 2023, Carrie and Chris took to Instagram to announce their sudden split after 11 years together. A source has more recently informed Woman’s Day that Carrie and co-star Tommy Little have been “leaning on each other” since their respective break ups.
A source has revealed to the Herald Sun that while Chris doesn’t believe the reports are true, it is “hurtful” that neither party has denied the rumours.
But there is no denying Carrie and Tommy have a strong relationship given how close the pair have worked together over the years.
“Carrie has always found comfort in Tommy,” the insider told Woman’s Day. “But this time is different – they’re both single! She feels there could be something.”
While Tommy is “open” to seeing where things go with Carrie, he is determined to not ruin their professional relationship after signing on to SCA’s Hit Network until 2026.
“He just makes her laugh and they have so much fun together – that’s all Carrie’s after following the tough couple of months she’s had.”
But Chris is reportedly “struggling” after the break up as he can no longer see his children as regularly given the two have decided to co-parent according to the Herald Sun.
Fans were shocked to see The Project producer shared a timely, yet odd, family photo with Tommy to Instagram.
In what was originally a radio stunt, the photo featured Carrie during her third pregnancy where Chris held her baby bump and their two eldest children, Ollie and Evie stood in front of their parents. Meanwhile Tommy stood behind Chris, holding his behind.
However the image was swiftly deleted six hours later. A source revealed to the Herald Sun that the picture was only an “ill-advised joke”.
