Brooke Blurton’s star has risen exponentially since her stint as the Bachelorette last year, so it’s no surprise she’s reaping the benefits of her amazing success.

And on Wednesday, the reality star celebrated an exciting milestone – buying herself her first car!

The 26-year-old took to Instagram to share the news with her 300,000 followers, saying it was a “pinch myself” moment.

“This is THE VERY first EVER car I have ever bought in my life. Outright, hard earned cash. I’m pinching myself. Not a BMW or an Audi. I bought my dream car, a [Suzuki] Jimny,” she said alongside a video of her excitedly waiting for her new car to arrive.

“I’m hugely aware of what a privilege this may seem and what people will think but know that this was earnt, not given. THIS LITTLE BABY IS MINE.”

Brooke went on to thank her brother Troy for driving the brand new SUV from her hometown in Western Australia across to Melbourne.

“One day maybe I’ll be able to buy my family these things. But for now, this is my treat and I’m so proud of myself,” she continued.

Brooke said she can’t wait to spoil her family.

Brooke then filmed a video of her dog Cobar exploring the car’s interior, writing: “This is so surreal right now.”

Brooke’s exciting new purchase comes a week after she exclusively told TV WEEK that she is well and truly ready to move on with her life following her and David Garayeli’s split in January.

“I think I’ve come out of this a much more confident version of myself and realising that I need to really take the time to incorporate a bit more self-love,” she said.

“Maybe something will happen around the corner, but I’m not putting so much pressure on myself [to find love].”

At the time she tried to keep details about their relationship ending private, but more recently Brooke confessed to NITV that she felt Darvid wanted to “humiliate” her by going public with their split.

“I feel like it was just to humiliate me, have one over me. What else did I have to do? I was silenced, I was defenceless, I just had to cop it. And that’s exactly what I did,” she told the network.

The 26-year-old said she wished Darvid would have waited a bit longer before taking to Instagram to reveal that they had gone their separate ways.

“It’s a lot of pressure and I had no choice in any part of (the split) going public, but it did,” she said.
