The Bachelorette's Georgia Love and Lee Elliott make a humble profit on Melbourne home following public split
The Bachelorette 's Georgia Love and Lee Elliott have sold their Melbourne home - and a big payday is coming their way.
Georgia, 35, and Lee, 43, who met on the beloved Aussie reality series in 2016, put their home on the market a few months after announcing their split earlier this year.
The former couple's four bedroom home in Hampton East went under the hammer on Saturday.
Their property passed in on a $1.53million bid after being listed with $1.5million to $1.58million price expectations.
However, over the weekend, post-auction negotiations ended with the sale of the home for an undisclosed amount.

The pair paid an estimated $1.35million for the chic, ultra-modern, two-storey townhouse in 2021.
It can then be assumed that the former couple pocketed at least $180,000 from the sale.
Georgia and Lee may have shocked fans with their split, but they proved on Saturday that there is no bad blood between them.
The former couple appeared very friendly with each other as they attended the auction of their Hampton East 'love nest' in Victoria.
They had plenty to be happy about, as the 'SOLD' sticker outside their marital home proved they managed to offload the $1.35million property.
The exes were all smiles as they then went out to a local café together to celebrate the sale.
Georgia was rugged up for the occasion, wearing a thick jumper and grey skirt over opaque black stockings.
Located 17km from the CBD in the upmarket Bayside area, the property boasts a thoughtful open-plan layout and an alfresco dining area with a BBQ kitchen.
Highlights include a main bedroom with a private balcony, a fitted dressing room, and a dual-vanity ensuite.
Design features include double-glazed windows and doors, Caesarstone benchtops, Tasmanian oak flooring, hydronic heating, and reverse-cycle air conditioning.
Georgia and Lee fuelled rumours they had split for some time, as it had been more than four months since they were seen together.
The pair spent Christmas apart with their respective families before Georgia jetted off to New York City for a holiday without Lee.
They were also both spotted without their wedding bands, which led to a wave of speculation online suggesting they had ended their relationship.

MAFS stars Awhina Rutene and Billy Belcher reveal surprising new collaboration amid romance speculation: 'Gonna be spicy!'
Married At First Sight stars Awhina Rutene and Billy Belcher have revealed a surprising collaboration. Just under three months after their stint on the Channel Nine reality juggernaut, the pair are making a return to the small screen. This time around though, they'll be helping Perth-based singletons find love in a new YouTube dating series called 1Rose. Announcing the upcoming series on Instagram with a casting call this week, organisers revealed that the series was an extension of their intimate, speed-dating events. 'If you've been to our events, you know the experience,' the announcement post read. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'But for the show, we're switching things up with a fresh new setting, exciting new elements, and unexpected twists.' The post went on to explain that each show would feature 16 singles looking for a potential love match. 'At the end of the night, you'll have your 1ROSE to give to someone who sparked your interest,' the post concluded. Commenting on the announcement, Billy, 32, wrote: 'Gonna be spicy, this!' while Awhina, 30, simply offered three love heart emojis. Neither MAFS star will be in the running, however, with Billy taking on the role of host while Awhina handles the commentary duties. Speaking to Perth Now about the new venture, Awhina said the fast-paced events would take a lot of the 'grunt work' out of awkward social situations. 'It's not like when you go to a bar or nightclub and you're trying to gauge whether someone's in a relationship or not, and whether they're just out for fun,' she said. 'And then there's also those questions that you don't necessarily ask when you're out at a bar. So I guess it takes a lot of the grunt work out of it.' The publication also reported that the events would feature many twists and turns, including cash prizes, surprise rounds, and hidden matches for each participant, based on pre-selected criteria. Awhina added that her MAFS co-star could not wait to take on hosting duties, likening him to a 'golden retriever at the moment.' 'I know it's a dating event, and the singles are there to get to know each other, but Billy likes to be the main character,' she said. The announcement comes amid speculation that Awhina and Billy are more than friends. Most recently, the pair sent the rumour mill into overdrive after enjoying a cosy date night in Perth earlier this month. Awhina shared a series of loved-up snaps on Instagram with Billy during an outing to The Garden in Perth – further igniting speculation that their friendship has turned romantic. In one mirror selfie taken in an elevator, Awhina looked sensational in a figure-hugging black mini dress with long sleeves, her sleek brunette hair cascading past her shoulders. Beside her, Billy cut a rugged figure in a sleeveless black top that showed off his tattooed arms, as he embraced Awhina from behind and beamed at the camera. 'It's not like when you go to a bar or nightclub and you're trying to gauge whether someone's in a relationship or not, and whether they're just out for fun,' Awhina told Perth Now Another photo showed the MAFS beauty sipping a glass of red wine at the trendy bar, while a cheeky Billy hid behind a drinks menu. Fans of the reality show erupted with excitement in the comments, thrilled that the pair many felt should have been matched on the show might have finally found love with each other. Many viewers have long suspected Awhina and Billy's chemistry, noting that the MAFS experts got it wrong by not pairing them in the first place. This flurry of fan enthusiasm comes after months of speculation about the duo's relationship. Both Awhina and Billy are based in Western Australia, and they struck up a close bond during the marriage experiment. Their respective on-screen marriages famously imploded when it was revealed that Awhina's TV husband, Adrian Araouzou, and Billy's wife, Sierah Swepstone, had been secretly meeting up behind their backs during filming. The betrayal left Awhina and Billy heartbroken, and the pair chose to leave the experiment separately amid the drama.

I'm 42 and was desperate to have a Kris Jenner ‘face lift' but was left with a bumpy, lumpy neck
HER rumoured facelift hit headlines worldwide - with people praising just how flawless the results were. And one person keen to emulate Kris Jenner's new look was Australian model Rebecca Judd. 4 4 4 The 42-year-old asked her clinical specialist Claire McGuinness to "give me Kris Jenner's neck without surgery". However, things didn't appear to have gone quite to plan, judging by Rebecca's Instagram Stories post. In the image, she showed that she'd been left with three lines of raised bumps on her neck. The lumps on her neck under her chin looked to have started healing, with some of them disappearing completely. While the lower lines were still obvious and red. It's not clear exactly what procedure Rebecca had, but Claire's website states that she offers countless facial rejuvenation procedures - from micro-needling to LED light therapy. The picture of Rebecca's bumpy neck went viral on social media, with people taking to the comments section of the posts to weigh in on what treatment Rebecca may have received. "Looks like MicroBotox to me," one wrote. "This pic was probably taken right after and then the bumps go down. "Nothing major that is for sure!" People compare me to Kris Jenner - now she's 'had a facelift', they say we look even more like 'twins' "These are Botox injection bumps and will literally be gone in under 10 minutes," another added. "You all do realise this is probs just polys?" a third asked. "It goes down within half hour - it's a simple easy good little treatment." "This is a Skin Booster, and this is exactly what it should look like post injections," someone else commented. Kris, 69, left fans stunned when she stepped out showcasing her new youthful look, with her rep confirming to Page Six that she underwent aesthetic enhancements from New York plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Levine. Although it has not been revealed exactly what she had done, many critics have suggested she underwent a deep plane facelift. What is a face lift and how quick is the recovery? A FACE lift (technically called a rhytidectomy) is a cosmetic surgical procedure which tries to reduce visible signs of ageing in the face and neck. The procedure begins with either general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with sedation to ensure you're comfortable and pain-free. The surgeon makes incisions based on the type of face lift. The surgeon lifts the skin and underlying tissues (SMAS layer – superficial musculoaponeurotic system). Fat may be sculpted, removed, or redistributed. The underlying muscle and connective tissues are tightened and repositioned to create a more youthful look. The skin is gently laid back over the newly repositioned contours and incisions are closed with sutures (medical stitch) or skin adhesives. Recovery time varies, but most people return to normal activities within two to four weeks. In an exclusive chat with The U.S. Sun, Dr. Norman Rowe, who did not do Kris's work but specializes in deep plane facelifts, was asked how much her rumoured procedure might have set her back. "It depends on whether or not you're getting it in Cincinnati, Ohio, or Miami or New York or LA," he said. "I mean, it can range from, five figures to six figures."

We're swingers – people assume we're sex mad & riddled with STIs but ‘vanillas' don't know what they're talking about
A COUPLE who insist swinging has made their relationship stronger have hit back at misconceptions about their lifestyle. Olivia Masterson and husband Gage decided to spice up their marriage by trying out swinging - engaging in casual or group sex with other people - eight years ago. 4 4 4 Now they regularly hook-up both with other couples and other people separately, and have even turned it into their business by starting a swinging app called SwingHub with over 40,000 users. However, adopting the lifestyle hasn't come without its critics, with the pair constantly facing rude assumptions from 'vanillas' - the name given to non-swingers by their community. One such misconception is that being a swinger means they are "absolutely sex mad". And while Gage acknowledges that they're both "sexual human beings", he added to the MailOnline: "People don't get that we're doing it with consent and not having affairs behind each other's backs." Others assume that contracting sexually transmitted infections is commonplace for swingers, but Gage hit back as he insisted they test often and also use protection. He also said it's "normal to send other couples certificates of being all clear before we play", and said that neither he nor Olivia have ever caught an STI in the entire time they've been swinging. When they first ventured into the community, their family were completely unaware of what they were doing. OIivia said they would "make up little secrets" and tell relatives they were going to an engagement party or a barbecue to try and hide it, adding: "It's none of their business!" The school run's so awkward now we're on a shocking TV experiment - maybe other parents just want to sleep with us too? But when they started posting about their exploits online four years in, they mustered up the courage to tell their loved ones. While Gage was more than a little nervous about telling his mum in case she disapproved, he said she has been very supportive - even going as far as to call their videos "absolutely brilliant". Even Olivia's family, who initially had questions about their lifestyle, have come to accept it too. There are downsides to being swingers too though, as Olivia admitted that they can spend upwards of £400 on a weekend, once they've factored in transport, a hotel and new lingerie. What is Swinging? SWINGING, also known as partner swapping, is a sexual activity where partners in a committed relationship engage in sexual activities with other people. All parties involved must give explicit and enthusiastic consent. Open and honest communication between partners is crucial. Many swingers engage with a community or attend events specifically for swinging. Such activity can enhance intimacy and trust within the primary relationship. It provides an opportunity to explore sexual fantasies and desires. But it is not suitable for every relationship and requires a strong foundation of trust. Jealousy and emotional challenges may arise and need to be managed. 4
