Single mum Alex is on the Bachelor looking for love – and it’s something she tells OK! she’s only ever experienced once before.

‘After my divorce, I met Tom and he was probably the first person I ever loved,’ shares the 24-year-old.

‘He’d been in a really severe accident on a construction site, where he’d fallen nine metres and severed his spinal cord, but we fell madly in love and I renovated my house so he could move in with me.’

A mum to five-year-old Elijah, Alex says the relationship – which began shortly after she divorced two years ago and ended last year – taught her a lot about love.

Is Richie next in line for her?
