HOW STELLA GOT HER GROOVE BACK!
Hooking up in secret? Er, what’s cooking, guys?!
It’s no secret Nic and Stella have grown very close while filming this season of My Kitchen Rules Australia. Now Woman’s Day can reveal tasty food isn’t all that’s heating up in the kitchen!
Sources claim the friendship between the Italian caterer and the waitress is intensifying as Nic jetted off to Perth last week to attend Stella’s birthday. According to our source, Nic even stayed in Stella’s home city for a few days afterwards to spend as much quality time with her before flying back to Sydney.
From the outset, fans saw the attraction between Nic, 33, and Stella, 22, with the brunette waitress and her teammate Jazzey even clearing Nic and his brother’s plates just to introduce themselves to the siblings.
While Stella recently revealed her relationship with her boyfriend crumbled under the pressure of filming the TVNZ 2 show, Nic is in a long-distance relationship with his girlfriend of four years, Molly.
Now Nic needs to decide whether to move to Florida to be with her or stay in Australia, leaving fans to wonder whether friendship with Stella could turn into something more.
It wouldn’t be the first time romance has blossomed on the reality cooking show. Last year, Amy Murr grew close to cooking rival Tim Attiwill during long hours filming the Australian series. And here in New Zealand, Charlotte Brown and Jaryd Gray coupled up last November.
