Former Bachelorette star Georgia Love has embraced the festive season with a uniquely personal touch, proudly showcasing her so-called 'ugly' Christmas tree and an array of eccentric ornaments to her social media followers.
A Festive Gallery of Quirky Decorations
The 36-year-old television personality posted a gallery of photos on Monday night, capturing her full immersion into the Christmas spirit. Rather than a perfectly curated designer tree, Love celebrated a more eclectic and sentimental collection of decorations.
She was quick to highlight a particular favourite: a smiling Santa Claus figurine missing a hand, which she affectionately named 'Derp Santa'. Explaining its origin to fans, Love said she felt sorry for it hanging alone in Myer, 'presumably because it looks like it was made by a kindergartner'. Her affection only grew after the figurine lost a hand, cementing its status as her top decoration.
Other standout pieces included what she dubbed 'the ugliest Harrods bear you will ever see' and a distinctly grumpy cat ornament, adding to the tree's charmingly mismatched aesthetic.
Embracing Imperfect Festive Cheer
Alongside close-ups of her unusual ornaments, Georgia Love shared a wider photo of her decorated tree in her living room. She captioned it with humorous self-awareness, quipping that her tree gives off less 'design aesthetic' and more 'kid who has collected random decorations over the years'. She concluded, 'I couldn't love it more!'
This playful display of festive joy comes as Love continues to live life to the fullest following her separation from Lee Elliot. The couple confirmed their split in February after four years of marriage, having met on the 2016 season of The Bachelorette.
Life After a Public Split
Since the breakup, Georgia Love has been in the public eye, at times appearing to make subtle references to her past relationship. In September, she turned heads at the opening night of Cirque du Soleil's Corteo in Melbourne, flashing a glimpse of her lace bra in a stylish striped dress.
The event came just a day before she seemed to take a thinly veiled swipe at Elliot, 44, while celebrating her birthday with close friends. She posted a tribute to her 'men' on Instagram, posing with three male pals.
Earlier in the year, she also shared a photo cuddled up with her best friend since age 14, Abir Ahmed, calling him her 'soulmate' and questioning who says such a bond 'has to be romantic'—a post many interpreted as being aimed at her nine-year relationship with Elliot. Notably, she and Ahmed holidayed in the Caribbean the same week her ex-husband moved out of their marital home.
Despite the past year's personal changes, Georgia Love's latest festive posts show a star embracing humour, imperfection, and a decidedly unique brand of Christmas cheer.
