Back in July, Lee told Now To Love that he โ€œwanted to do it rightโ€.

โ€œWe are happy,โ€ he said. โ€œAnd so much of our relationship happened so quickly and I want to do this right, and I want to do it properly, and I will.

โ€œBut Iโ€™ll do it in โ€˜ourโ€™ time,โ€ he added.

And indeed, it seems he did!

Lee and Georgia are one of several successful relationships to come out of the Bachelor franchise.

The pair first met when Georgia became Australiaโ€™s Bachelorette in 2016, and it was clear from the beginning they had a strong connection.

Hilariously, Lee brought along a donkey to his first meeting with Georgia in the fateful first episode.

He simply said to her: โ€œDoes my ass look big in this?โ€

And thus began a pun-filled romance for the ages!

Lee couldnโ€™t refrain from adding some humour to his first meeting with Georgia.

Georgia herself admitted she was pretty smitten from that first meeting.

โ€œLee made me nervous, I was a bit jittery with him, I had the butterflies,โ€ she said.

The couple have definitely formed a rock solid relationship, which hasnโ€™t come with the easiest of challenges thrown at them.

Just days after the showโ€™s finale aired, Georgia tragically lost her mother to pancreatic cancer.

Though she had incredible support from Lee, it was a tough start to their new romance.

They pair have since spoken about the difficult time.

Lee recently told Now To Love: โ€œ[Georgiaโ€™s mum] was her best friend and there are so many things in her life that her mum will not get to share with her and itโ€™s just so sad,โ€ he said.

โ€œGoing through something like that helps strengthen any relationship, it brings you closer together,โ€ he added.

The pair had a rocky start to their relationship, but we couldnโ€™t be happier to see them come through it together.

Georgia has also opened up on the emotional time, telling Stacey June and Kristie Mercer for The Thinkergirls Pod Channel: โ€œIt was really hard on him, and it was really hard on our relationship.โ€

โ€œWe had a very rocky first six months, and Iโ€™m not afraid to say that.โ€

We could not be happier for the couple, who have come out the other side stronger than ever.

They deserve nothing but happiness โ€“ congrats guys!
