It would seem that Thursday night’s episode of The Bachelor Australia will be make or break for Alex and Richie.
The blonde beauty has been open about her single mum status ever since the very first cocktail party, but could the latest promo indicate that it might be too much too soon for the handsome rope technician?
In what looks to be some one-on-one time at tonight’s cocktail party, Alex brings some photos of her five-year-old son Elijah, with the intention for Richie to become better acquainted the main man in her life.
“I want you to be able to put a name to a face,” the 24-year-old says as she reaches for the family album stashed behind her.
Upon seeing the images within, Richie, 30, looks noticeably flustered.
Alex, who clearly noticed the tradie’s suddenly nervous demeanour, speaks only to the camera when she says: “Maybe I made it too real.”
Cut back to their conversation, and Richie begins to explain his feelings. “Never have I been in this situation in my life,” he says.
“I need to decide if I’m ready for that.”

With only six lovely ladies left the in the Bachelor mansion, hometown dates are fast approaching.
As Richie decides if he’s ready to meet Alex’s son Elijah, perhaps he will look to 2015’s Bachelor, Sam Wood.
The fitness entrepreneur only had eyes for single-mum Snezana from the moment they met, to the day he came face-to-face with her daughter Eve.
He ultimately chose to spend his life with the pretty brunette and her 11-year-old girl, and after popping the question and purchasing a lavish Melbourne home together, the two are now planning their impending wedding!
Will it be the same happy ending for Alex and Richie?
We’ll just have to tune in to tonight’s episode of The Bachelor Australia on Channel Ten at 7:30pm to find out!
