Conor entered the island as a “cleanskin”, having no previous ties to the Bachelor franchise and quickly caught Mary’s eye.
After the whirlwind finale of the show, where the couple told one another they had fallen in love, Mary revealed she and her six-year-old daughter had relocated to Tasmania and were living with Conor.
Since falling in love on the show, Mary and her six-year-old daughter have relocated from Warracknabeal in Victoria to Hobart, Tasmania to live with Conor.

“I think I’ve always wanted a big family, so we’re both keen on the idea. We’ll have to see what happens down the track,” Conor told Now To Love in August.
While Mary vouched that Conor was a “natural” around Chanel and would make a great father.
“He is a natural. They spend lots of time together. Conor sometimes does the drop off at school for me and yeah, they just get along very very well,” the chef explained.
A huge congrats on your BIP baby.
