Laura Byrne is best known for taking home Matty J’s final rose on the 2017 season of the Bachelor. The couple has stayed together ever since, got engaged and had two children together.
Last week, Byrne dropped somewhat of a bombshell, revealing that she used to hook up with a former The Bachelorette star before she met Matty J.
Laura went into detail about the fling on her Life Uncut podcast, revealing that she and the former contestant would “have some great sex”.
“The best friends with benefits that I ever had is a guy who I dated many years ago,” she told co-host Brittany Hockley. “I dated a guy who was on The Bachelorette.”
“I used to call him my “Wednesday night guy”. It was never a weekend relationship,” she added.
“It was never good enough to be a Friday night or a Saturday night. We both just knew, on a Wednesday, we’d go and get sushi, we’d have some great sex, we’d have a great time, I’d have a sleepover, I’d get up in the morning and I’d go to work.”
Laura revealed that she and The Bachelorette star continued their tryst for about six months, but she wouldn’t disclose his name.

however, thanks to some super sleuthing by So Dramatic! the anonymous star has now been revealed as Luke McLeod from Sophie Monk’s season. Turns out, he has previously told The Daily Telegraph that he and Laura used to date.
“We did date for a couple of months, I swear to God it was a complete coincidence,” he told the publication at the time.
“She’s an amazing woman, we dated for a couple of months and realised we were better off being really good friends and that’s where things are at now. She’s been so supportive of my journey.”
