New Golden Bachelor Bear Myrden addresses wild rumours he prefers YOUNGER women as he is seen getting cosy with brunette at the Logies before show even airs
The silver fox made his Logies red carpet debut on Sunday night, turning heads as he posed arm-in-arm with a glamorous brunette beauty.
Dressed in a sharp tuxedo, Bear, whose season of The Golden Bachelor is weeks away from its premiere, looked dashing alongside the show's Supervising Executive producer, Vanessa Oxlad.
The duo appeared close and comfortable as they smiled for cameras.
Meanwhile, Bear was quick to shut down any speculation he's eyeing women outside the show, addressing wild rumours circulating online that he prefers younger women.
'That's rumours,' he told Daily Mail on the carpet.
Bear insisted he was excited about the journey ahead, admitting it all felt 'very surreal'.
'You are our next Golden Bachelor,' he was reminded.
'Yes, I am,' he smiled.
'You're on the Logies red carpet. This is very exciting.'
When asked about his date, Samantha Armytage, who is the host of the Channel Nine spin-off, Bear laughed off other rumours there was on-set chemistry between the pair.
'I thought your date tonight was Sam. Where is she?' he was asked.
'She's busier than I am,' he replied.
The heartthrob also teased what's to come this season, promising viewers a heartfelt, emotional journey.

'All I can say is it was very difficult having to get rid of any of them. They were all beautiful, intelligent, fun. It is one of the toughest things I've ever had to do,' he said of the women.
And while he's been spotted filming in glamorous locations - including a James Bond–style moment on a yacht - Bear revealed he hasn't taken much from set.
'Just a few things, yeah. The wardrobe was sensational,' he said.
He revealed the sleek tux he wore on the night was his own, quipping: 'This is mine. Very schmick.'
Despite all the attention, Bear admitted he was still getting used to his new reality TV fame.
'This is my first red carpet too,' he confessed.
'So I'm a bit of a rookie. We're in this together.'

Olivia Attwood responds to fan begging her to make surprise return to I'm A Celebrity two years after pulling out
OLIVIA Attwood has responded after a fan begged her to make a return to I'm a Celebrity - two years after being forced to pull out. The This Morning presenter, 34, was devastated when concerns over her health in 2022 meant she had to leave the I'm a Celebrity jungle after just 48 hours. 3 3 Since then, Olivia has always insisted that she will finish what she started Down Under. But it seems she's had a change of heart. During an Instagram Q&A, one fan begged Olivia: 'Plz do the jungle.' She replied: 'Oh hunny noooooo.' Olivia recently opened up about her jungle exit during an appearance on the Staying Relevant podcast with Pete Wicks and Sam Thompson. Speaking about her early departure, she said: "That is the worst thing that's happened to me in this industry. "I really wanted the jungle. "It was a big c**k up on so many levels. [It was a] medical thing essentially." Olivia added: "I tried to fight them on it because I felt like I was fine." The Love Island legend told Pete how ITV had "left the door open" for a jungle return one day. It's no surprise Olivia hasn't got time for I'm a Celebrity right now, after being revealed as the newest This Morning presenter. The Loose Women panellist made her debut last month, co-hosting the show alongside Dermot O'Leary.

Shelly Craft risks igniting feud with longtime Block co-host Scott Cam as she supports his bitter rival
The Block's Shelley Craft is keeping quiet on the rift between her TV co-host Scott Cam and Adrian 'Mr Lambo' Portelli. The controversial LMCT+ billionaire has attacked Channel Nine, accusing them of undervaluing his contribution after the big spender dropped a whopping $12 million at last year's Block auctions. He's also slammed Scott Cam online, branding him a 'clown' in a scathing outburst, while readying to launch a rival renovation show My Reno Rules on Seven. And in a surprising twist, Shelley has opted to ignore Portelli's spat with Scott, instead congratulating the entrepreneur on his new career move. In an interview with Woman's Day on Tuesday, the 49-year-old renovation guru wished Portelli luck. She added, 'I was wondering, if he was leaving us behind, where was he going to publicise his next venture? 'So when I saw him pop up with that, I was like, 'Oh, there you go, that's great."' Shelley continued: 'Obviously, his business has an incredible model of lotteries for different things… The way he's going about this, good luck to them.' Elsewhere in the chat, Craft appeared to make a vague reference to the feud. 'I guess I was trained from a very early age… that when you do say something, it will be judged,' she said. She also commented on her long-term friendship with Scott. 'He's a superstar and a delightful man and just good fun,' she said. It comes after the controversial LMCT+ billionaire, known as 'Mr Lambo', lashed out at Channel Nine, accusing them of undervaluing his contribution to the franchise. Sources close to the production claim tensions were 'brewing the moment the cameras stopped rolling' on the 2024 Phillip Island season. Despite spending millions on the Block auctions, insiders say Adrian felt 'dismissed' by producers and host Scott Cam, and he didn't keep his fury a secret. 'He gave them the biggest TV moment of the season and barely got a thank you,' one insider told Daily Mail Australia. The situation exploded after Adrian appeared on Nova's Jase & Lauren, slamming the show as 'staged' and fuelling conspiracy theories about why The Block was mysteriously removed from Sportsbet odds before the finale. And just last week, Adrian upped the ante again, branding beloved host Scott a 'clown' in a scathing online outburst. Friends of the long-time presenter say he was blindsided by the personal attack. 'Scott genuinely thought they were on good terms,' a close source said. 'Scotty Cam is renowned for being friendly on camera but keeps to himself off set. It's rubbed some people the wrong way over the years.' Now, in a major twist, Adrian is jumping ship and is teaming up with rival network Channel Seven to launch his very own renovation show. The series will be hosted by none other than Dr Chris Brown, but the bold move has already raised eyebrows. 'Let's call it what it is. It's a revenge show,' a former contestant laughed. 'He wants to prove he can do The Block better than The Block.' Despite Channel Seven's excitement over Adrian's deep pockets, sources say his involvement has already triggered a PR crisis. 'Chris Brown's team is seriously nervous,' a senior network figure revealed. 'He's a squeaky-clean brand and doesn't want to get dragged into a public feud. There is also that fear that if Adrian can turn so quickly on Scotty, he could easily do the same with Dr Chris Brown.' Channel Seven production is still, however, moving ahead at full throttle, but with The Block back on air and Adrian noticeably missing from the auction line-up, industry insiders are watching closely to see if his absence tanks the record-breaking results of previous seasons.

Jimmy was moved, a little tear, honestly such an emotional and inspiring segment'; 'We were there at the Marlowe when the man text this message in, the whole atmosphere was so emotional. Jimmy was great and invited the man backstage after the show to meet him. I truly hope the man's recovery continues. Laughter is definitely the best medicine.' Many also touched on how it was unusual to see Jimmy, who is typically cutting with his dark humour, get caught up in the emotional moment.
