Emotional Georgia Love opens up about split from husband Lee Elliott for the first time
An emotional Georgia Love has opened up for the first time about her split from husband Lee Elliott, admitting she's been 'really sad, feeling like I've let people down.'
The reality TV star and journalist first met Elliott during the 2016 season of The Bachelorette and tied the knot five years later. They announced their separation in February this year, following months of speculation.
Love, 35, opened up about the decision to part ways in an interview with Kate Langbroek on Mamamia's No Filter podcast this week.
'I don't want to feel like I've let anyone down, which is so silly because it's not about anyone else, it's about us,' she said tearfully.
'People have been so wonderful following our story since the start and so many say they look at our relationship and it gives them hope. I've been really sad feeling like I've let people down.'
Love added that the scrutiny prior to their announcement had compounded her distress.
'It was very hard at the end of last year with all the speculation about whether we had split. It was hard while I was trying to come to terms with what was happening,' she explained.
'Lee and I made the decision together but it doesn't mean it makes me happy. It doesn't, I'm really sad about it.'
The GoldFM newsreader, who lost her mother to pancreatic cancer shortly after her season of The Bachelorette aired, also explained to Langbroek that the breakdown of her marriage had plunged her into 'a period of loss and grief again'.
However, Love insisted that after going through 'big things' in their almost-decade together, the pair had 'a deep love and respect for each other'.
'I hope we always will. I never expected to be here,' she said.
The former couple released a joint statement in February, confirming news of their split to fans.
'After nine wonderful years together, including four as husband and wife, [we] have made the incredibly difficult decision to lovingly part ways,' it read.
'Our relationship has been so special and we will always cherish the memories, love, and laughter we've shared.
'There is no drama, no bad blood. Just two people who have grown in different directions while still holding deep respect and care for each other.
'We remain friends and we'd really appreciate our privacy as we navigate this next stage. Thank you.'

Heartbreaking detail in Ex-Bachelorette Georgia Love's property listing after shock split from Lee Elliot
The Bachelorette's Georgia Love and Lee Elliot are selling their former marital home in Melbourne's leafy eastern suburbs amid their divorce. Love, 35, and Elliot, 43, confirmed their split in February after first meeting on the 2018 season of The Bachelorette and later marrying in 2021. 'After nine wonderful years together, including four as husband and wife, Lee and l have made the incredibly difficult decision to lovingly part ways,' Love announced in a statement via Instagram. Now, the former reality stars have listed their spacious four-bed, three-bath Hampton East townhouse for between $1.5 million and $1.58 million. The listing is being managed by agency Hodges in Sandringham and is set to go under the hammer on June 21. 'Ready to entertain you inside and out, this architectural four bedroom, three bathroom design goes over and above with a wall of bi-folds separating expansive open-plan living-dining from a pergola-shaded al fresco area, and an elite Siemens appliance kitchen plus a fully-plumbed BBQ kitchen,' an advertisement for the property said. 'Built on a spectacular scale with a vast master-domain (comprising a balconied bedroom, fitted dressing-room and dual-vanity ensuite) encompassing almost half the upper level, this adaptable design changes with the times with a versatile ground-floor bedroom beside its own full bathroom adding accessibility through the ages.' The home also includes features like Caesarstone benchtops, solid Tasmanian Oak floors as well as practical touches like double-glazed windows throughout. While public figures often remove personal items and furniture before staging a property, the former couple's real belongings are still visible in the listing photos. In a heartbreaking twist, a framed family photo of Georgia and Lee in happier times could be seen in the living room. The happy snap, which shows the exes beaming at each other, was sitting atop a well-appointed wine rack by the fireplace. The real estate listing comes weeks after Love addressed her divorce for the first time in an interview with Kate Langbroek on Mamamia's No Filter podcast. During the chat, Love opened about feeling a sense of guilt over letting Bachelorette fans downs after previously being heralded as one of the reality show's rare success stories. 'I don't want to feel like I've let anyone down, which is so silly because it's not about anyone else, it's about us,' she said. 'People have been so wonderful following our story since the start and so many say they look at our relationship and it gives them hope. 'I've been really sad feeling like I've let people down.'
