Warning – potential spoilers ahead!
While we wait until an official air date is announced for the 2017 series of The Bachelor, hardcore Bachie fans have been trawling the deep, dark corners of the internet and devising their own rogue theories as to which contestant has stolen Matty Johnson’s heart.
According to the dedicated community who run The Bachelor And Bachelorette Spoiler Forum website, they’ve found a hidden message in one of women’s social media accounts.
Eagle-eyed punters have pointed out Bachelor hopeful and jewellery designer Laura Byrne has given a nod to Matty J in her updated Instagram bio.
In the about me section of her account, Laura claims she’s the “Queen of reverse parking”, which is indeed a commendable skill to have.
Laura’s about me gives a subtle nod to one of Matty’s favoured qualities – a woman who can reverse park.
But enter our trusty Sherlock Holmes internet sleuths, who have been quick remind us of an interview MJ did with Popsugar last year ahead of The Bachelorette‘s premiere.
“Matty just moved back to Sydney after living in London for four years, and finds women who can reverse park with ease particularly attractive,” the entertainment website explains in their introduction of the Bondi babe.
Addressing the somewhat crazy theory, a Network Ten spokesperson told Now To Love: “Inaccurate speculation and wild rumours are increasingly synonymous with The Bachelor. This is just another example of that. We look forward to showing viewers the truth about Matty J’s journey later this year on TEN.”
So, does this mean Laura is Matty’s chosen one and they’ll reverse park their car off into the distance and live happily ever after?
Only time will tell.
Meanwhile after photos of the finale were shopped around, the latest bombshell to rock the reality show alleges the 29-year-old reality star gets rather close with this year’s punters.
(Sidenote: isn’t that the whole aim of the game?)
“(The women) haven’t held back with the intimacy and the kissing… the chemistry sizzles between Matty and certain girls,” an insider recently told Sydney Confidential.

“As expected, some Bachelorettes caught his eye immediately, and there have been a couple of others where their relationship has been a slow burn, and he’s been surprised by their strong connection,” another source said.
Matty J and his lucky ladies reportedly filmed the finale episode in the Gulf of Thailand at the end of May and judging by Matty’s beaming smile when he touched down in Sydney last month, he’s found someone pretty special.
Whatever happens, this season has already drummed up enough buzz to last a lifetime – from whispers Matty was unhappy with his Bachelorettes to claims he might even go home single.
