But the 28-year-old reality star held no animosity towards her ex, and told Daily Mail Australia at the time that she was ‘happy for him’.
‘The only thing I’d say is that Luke and I realised that we weren’t really right for each other, but we are still good friends,’ she added.
Since announcing his relationship, Luke only shared one other photo with his girlfriend, preferring to keep their relationship private.

‘Guys… I shared a photo with you, however she does NOT have Instagram so please stop asking me who she is when she has never had an Instagram account,’ he wrote.
