The Bachelor: Locky has found his perfect match in Irena, says dating expert

Sorry, Bella! Dating expert reveals why The Bachelor’s Locky Gilbert has found his perfect match in Irena Srbinovska

Irena Srbinovska has been the favourite to win Locky Gilbert’s heart on The Bachelor since the very first episode.

And it appears the 31-year-old nurse is showing all the signs of being the right match for the former Australian Survivor star.

According to dating guru Sharon Draper, Irena and Locky are ‘very compatible’ and at the same stage in life – the perfect combination for a long-lasting relationship.

‘They have good energy, seem very compatible and also hold shared core values for what is important in life,’ explained Ms Draper, eharmony‘s resident dating expert.

Irena has remained cool-headed despite the drama in the mansion, an attribute that has undoubtedly given her an advantage in the race to win Locky’s heart.

‘Irena also doesn’t seem to be one to get too involved in any drama or attention seeking activity,’ Ms Draper said.

‘She trusts her bond with Locky and focuses on her own experiences with him. They had chemistry from day dot, which hasn’t shown any signs of dying down either.’

It comes after Locky denied rumours he’s no longer dating his winner, saying he’s happily in a relationship with his chosen contestant.

The adventure tour guide – who will decide between Irena and Bella Varelis during Thursday night’s finale – told TV Week on Monday he was ‘110,000 per cent in love’.

‘Excited is an understatement,’ Locky said of finally being able to reveal his girlfriend later this week. ‘I cannot wait. I am beyond excited to be able to finally say it out loud… who I have chosen to spend the rest of my life with.’

Directly addressing speculation he split from his winner during COVID-19 lockdown, he added: ‘I’m so happy and all I want to do is tell people how great she is.’

The Bachelor continues Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 10
