In a romantic plot twist worthy of reality TV itself, former Sunrise queen Samantha Armytage has found love with a star from the nation's most talked-about dating show.
The high-profile media personality is now officially dating Tim Warmels, a charismatic contestant from the inaugural season of Network 10's The Golden Bachelor. The pair were spotted looking cosy and completely smitten during a low-key lunch date in the Southern Highlands, southwest of Sydney.
A Blossoming Southern Highlands Romance
An onlooker reported that the new couple couldn't keep their eyes off each other, sharing laughter and intimate conversation over a long lunch. Armytage, 47, appeared relaxed and happier than ever, signalling a joyful new chapter in her personal life.
This public outing confirms swirling rumours that have been circulating since the duo were first seen together. Their connection appears to be the real deal, moving beyond mere speculation into a genuine, budding relationship.
From Reality TV to Real-Life Love
Tim Warmels, a dashing 64-year-old, was a fan favourite on The Golden Bachelor, where he vied for the affection of grandmother-of-eight Lesley. While his journey on the show ended without an engagement, it seems his real-life love story is just beginning.
For Samantha, this new relationship marks a fresh start following her marriage split from horse breeder Richard Lavender in 2023. The popular broadcaster has been embracing life away from the morning television spotlight, focusing on her life in the countryside and now, it seems, on a promising new romance.
