The Bachelor Richie’s heartache – Alex moves on
Richie’s heartache
Alex Nation and her boyfriend Richie Strahan have been plagued by break-up rumours for months – and now Alex has been spotted with two other men.
The 26-year-old has fans wondering if she’s been won over by another reality TV star – male model and I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! hunk Kris Smith, 38.
“I saw Alex and Kris at Crown arcade in Melbourne together,” an onlooker tells Woman’s Day. “They seemed close and left the venue together.”
The two only added fuel to the fire when they both took to social media to share pictures of themselves dining out on burgers at Hungry Jack’s just days later.
Alex and Richie, 32, who fell in love on The Bachelor last year, have barely been seen together recently. The once happy couple have stepped away from the spotlight and refused interviews at the TV Week Logie awards in April, leaving fans wondering if their romance was just for show.
They were spotted looking tense on May 17, and haven’t been seen together since.
Insiders believe the couple may be putting on a united front to fulfil a contract with Ten that insists they stay together for 18 months after the show’s end.
Kris is believed to have split from his rumoured girlfriend Hannah Scott last month. Their short romance came after he broke up with his long-term girlfriend, model Maddy King.
The eligible bachelor shares a son, Ethan, six, with pop princess Dannii Minogue – which would help him bond with Alex, whose son Elijah is also six.
