Emotional Georgia Love opens up about split from husband Lee Elliott for the first time

News.com.au05-05-2025

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.'

Ellie Carpenter has shared two stunning photos from her wedding to Dutch footballer Danielle van de Donk. The couple, who went with public with their relationship in 2023, announced their engagement in January 2024. They met while playing for French women's football club Lyon. Carpenter, 25, took personal leave from the last Matildas window to put the finishing touches on the wedding which is believed to have been held in France at the weekend. Details of the wedding have been hard to come by. Matildas teammate Teagan Micah was part of the wedding party- making a quick trip to France after helping the Matildas beat Argentina earlier this month. Carpenter took to Instagram on Wednesday night to share two photos of the happy couple with the caption 'I choose you. I always choose you.' Both are wearing traditional white gowns. Carpenter donned a veil while van de Donk's dress had a stunning lace front. Teammates were quick to share their congratulations. Steph Catley wrote 'Stunning, what a day'. Micah commented 'the most beautiful brides'. Emily Gielnik wrote 'holy smokes you two are absolutely stunning. Best day ever. Love you both so much.' Carpenter isn't the only Matilda to tie the knot this month. Midfielder Katrina Gorry is due to marry her partner Clare Markstedt this weekend in Australia.

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.'

A sea change from London to 'Jurassic Park'

In 2013 Kelly Green swapped her busy life as a flight attendant to move to Tristan Da Cuhna - part of a volcanic archipelago in the South Atlanic Ocean and the most remote inhabited island in the world. It's only possible to get to by ship from South Africa a few times a year. Despite the isolation, Kelly Green says it was a love story, island life, and the wildlife which has made the tiny isle her forever home. Producer: Joanna Crothers
