After making his mark on the reality TV scene, The Bachelorette star Konrad Bien-Stephen has found his happy ending in real life with Thelma Plum.
Though he’s stayed relatively mum about his relationship with the singer, Konrad has finally opened up about how things are going with Thelma.
“Everything is going really well, and we are really happy,” Konrad told Confidential about his new relationship with Thelma.
The couple sparked dating rumors back in December after being spotted cozying up at a National Gallery of Victoria gala event. However, at the time the reality star told Herald Sun they were just friends.
Konrad later debuted his relationship with the musician by sharing a story of himself and Thelma kissing on New Year’s Eve. He later further confirmed their relationship when he posted a series of photos to Instagram last week showing them together on a holiday to Hobart.

“Mona was amazing, Fable is tasty, Pangaea was v special, Moo looks funny with her lip teeth showing, the mixing console from abbey road looks cool.. and I believe if you opened a bar that operated later than 10pm in Hobart it would thrive..” He captioned the photo.
Konrad made it to the final four of Brooke Blurton’s season of The Bachelorette, but he arguably gained more notoriety when he dated former The Bachelor contestant Abbie Chatfield after he was eliminated.
Abbie and Konrad broke up after ten months together, and he told the publication that speculation surrounding his romantic relationships makes dating “difficult” for him.
It can also make it difficult too when you do meet someone that you do like and they want to be private about it – obviously, I want to as well. It can add extra pressure that you don’t need and don’t want and it can kind of ruin a good thing.
“So it’s hard to navigate and it is quite interesting that people would be so interested in it. But I guess by putting yourself up for a TV show and putting yourself in the public eye you’ve got to expect that sort of thing.”
