Certain Bachelor love stories are somewhat predictable.
We all knew Matty “J” Johnson had fallen for Laura Byrne months before The Bachelor finale last year, while Stu Laundy and Sophie Monk’s ill-fated romance on The Bacehrloette turned out to be one of the worst kept reality TV secrets of all time.
So thank god for Bachelor In Paradise‘s ultimate dark horses, Tara Pavlovic and Sam Cochrane.
Their unlikely love story has not only caught them off-guard but the entire nation!
And as they celebrate the exciting future ahead of the Bachelor In Paradise finale, we look back at Tara and Sam’s cutest moments together!
They’re not afraid to pay each other out
For people as funny as Sam and Tara, banter is one of the most important elements to a relationship.
And these two have it in spades!
Whether they’re teasing each other’s less-than-desirable cooking skills or Tarzy is taking a swipe at Sam’s messy blonde mop, we can’t get enough of their cheeky dynamic.
It’s a laugh a minute with these guys.
They love each other, HARD!
We don’t think we’ve ever seen a more in-love and genuine reality TV couple – the future really does look bright for these two.
Speaking of falling for the stunning nanny, Sam recently old OK!: “It’s hard to pinpoint when I started to fall in love, but I remember the moments that I’d wake up or Tara would wake up first, and you get the opportunity to take stock of what’s going on.”
“There is a really deep, sensitive side to her. She’s truly caring about the world and people. That’s what I fell in love with.”
We love how in love they are.
We never thought they’d end up together… And neither did Tara!
Cast your mind back to the very early days of BIP.
Tara was actually crushing on Michael Turnbull while Sam and Keira Maguire had a weird little thing going on.
But then Keira asked Michael Turnbull on a date and Tara wasn’t impressed.
It’s this exact twist of fate that brought Tara and Sam together with the pair hanging out and hitting it off during Michael and Keira’s date!
In fact, when Tara first laid eyes on Sam she vouched he’d never receive a rose from her because she thought he was a “do—e.”

Their whirlwind romance has caught everyone by surprise.
“It’s hard to pinpoint when I started to fall in love, but I remember the moments that I’d wake up or Tara would wake up first, and you get the opportunity to take stock of what’s going on,” Sam says.
They’re never not having fun!
These two are the absolute life of the BIP party.
Despite all the drama of the show, you could always rely on Sam and Tara to be having a good time in the background totally oblivious to the tears and tantrums because they were too wrapped up in each other’s company.
Swoon!
Now please get married and have lots of blonde, beautiful babies.
They’re the life of the BIP party.
A real man knows when to feed his lady!
We’d actually pay good money to hang out with these two.
