Reality bites
MKR rivals hook up, plus Zac’s Bachelorettes kiss ’n’ tell!
As MyKitchenRules Australia comes to a close, an unlikely couple have found themselves irresistibly drawn together. Photos exclusively obtained by Woman’sDay show rivals Tyson Murr and Courtney Ferdinands in a series of flirtatious off-set dates. While they’re fierce competitors on screen, when the cameras stop rolling, the duo have been spending more time together.
Indeed, during a recent trip to Brisbane, smitten-looking Tyson couldn’t take his eyes off Courtney, who’s taking part in the TVNZ 2 show with her mum Valerie, 61. And Courtney, 29, looked equally enthralled, grinning from ear to ear as she strolled alongside the 26-year-old Queenslander.
On another occasion, the foodie duo were caught deep in conversation, enjoying some private time away from the rest of the competitors.
It’s no surprise that Tyson – who stars with his sister Amy – and Courtney have become close of late. Just last month, Tyson revealed his seven-year relationship hip with girlfriend Tasha had ended and no doubt Courtney has been a handy shoulder to cry on as he readjusts to single life.
Explaining the reason for the break-up, Tyson said his ex couldn’t dn’t deal with his “angry man” TV persona, but he downplayed the split, insisting he isn’t a “marriage person” anyway.
But while Tyson may be back on the market, Courtney recently disclosed that she has been dating a former co-worker for the past 18 months – and her mother is a huge fan of her 34-year-old boyfriend Daniel.
“Mum says, ‘Oh, I’d love to have grandchildren,’” Courtney revealed. “My family loves Daniel. The poor guy isn’t only dating me – he’s dating my family too!”
Will Courtney’s friendship with Tyson put that relationship at risk?
