Angie Kent has fallen for her Bachelorette knight in shining armour, Carlin Sterritt, and like any 21st century couple, their relationship has to be made Instagram official.
Following Thursday night’s finale, the lovebirds released a joint video thanking fans for their support along their reality TV romance, and confirming that they’re still together.
In the video, Angie and Carlin sit smiling at the camera with Carlin’s arm lovingly draped over Angie. And in trademark style, the former Gogglebox star and her new man kept it down-to-earth.
“I guess we’d just like to say thank you so much for watching,” Angie starts by saying.
“I think it was such an interesting choice for me to be the Bachelorette and it’s been wild and I put my all into it and I don’t know, Carlin stuck by me.”

Carlin then shared his two cents by stating: “It’s been one heck of a ride and I’m just so stoked to be here with Angie at the end.”
“From the very get-go, the connection that we had to where we’ve come now, we’re just so thankful, especially for everyone’s support, we’re really thankful,” he concluded.

During Thursday night’s finale, Angie confessed her love for Carlin with an emotional speech to the fitness trainer against the picturesque backdrop of a Byron Bay rainforest.
“I put myself into this so much and I don’t want the perfect guy just for everyone. I want the perfect guy for me because I truly have put my whole heart and soul into this and you know there’s no doubt in my mind now that you are the perfect guy for me.
“I’m completely falling in love with you.”
Carlin shared this sweet snap after the Bachelorette finale aired.

“Those who have gone before us, know that you don’t need to go on a reality TV show to find love… However I can confirm, that you can go on a reality TV show and find love. It’s real. It’s raw. It’s our love story! I love you Angie and I’m SO excited for a future with you,” he captioned a photo from the moment they confessed their love for one another.
Carlin has officially stolen Angie’s heart!
(Image: Network Ten)Angie also posted the same photo before alerting her followers “WARNING FIRST CORNY COUPLE POST ALERT!” in the caption.
“I recently read from one of my favorite modern day poets @yung_pueblo ‘make sure the walls you build to protect yourself do not become your prison,'” the reality star penned.
“I built up some big ol walls over the years. I have my reasons. We all do. The reality is none of us are going to be a walk in the park to be with. We’ve all suffered or are suffering from something. That’s life. So when you meet someone willing to see past these walls and committed to understanding you and want to grow with you…. don’t let past conditioning, ego or pride get in the way.”
“Thank-you for fighting for us and knowing what we have was real and pure from the very beginning.”
(Image: Network Ten)“You knew. Even when I doubted you because of these walls. You were patient with me. Thank-you for fighting for us and knowing what we have was real and pure from the very beginning. You are exactly what I wanted and more coming into this. I love you my Noh Noh @carlinsterritt 🌹”
Angie concluded her post with: “Finally, thank-you for coming on this adventure with us. I can’t even begin to put into words how grateful I am for the people who put their heart soul into this show. Everyone works so incredibly hard. My dream team. You know who you are. Thank-you. The End….Fairytale style. The beginning of real life! x”
