Bachelor in Paradise star Timm Hanly has finally confirmed he’s back with his ex-girlfriend, Briana De La Motte.
The 27-year-old appeared on Hit Hobart 100.9 on Tuesday, and said that he’s ‘really happy’ in his new relationship.
While he didn’t name Briana, Timm said he’s with the ‘girl he was with for six years before The Bachelorette.’

‘Yeah, I’m in a relationship, I’m super happy,’ Timm said, confirming he’s no longer with BIP co-star, Brittany Hockley, 32.
‘No longer with Brittany, that was filmed about a year ago, so, it didn’t work out,’ he said of his Bachelor in Paradise romance.
Timm added: ‘This is the girl I was with for six years before The Bachelorette hey, and then we just got back together a couple of months ago… I was dating her for six years before.’
Moving on: ‘Yeah, I’m in a relationship, I’m super happy,’ Timm said during a radio interview on Tuesday, confirming he’s no longer with BIP co-star, Brittany Hockley, 32 (pictured)
He then said they didn’t work out in the first place because he was a ‘loose cannon’, and also blamed ‘timing.’
The reality TV star said that he’s thrilled that Briana has nothing to do with the Bachelor franchise as having a high-profile relationship ‘scares’ him.
‘The public relationship scares me hey. It’s so full on, everyone knowing your business,’ Timm explained.
‘I know that’s what you sign up for, but you don’t know it, until you’re in it.’

In recent weeks, Timm has been spotted with Briana in public on a number of occasions, despite his romance with Brittany playing out on Bachelor In Paradise.
On Monday’s episode of the show, Brittany and Timm left Fiji together.
But radiographer Brittany, 32, told 10 Play this week that Timm completely ‘ghosted her’ after leaving Paradise.
‘He ghosted me. Blocked me on everything,’ she explained.

‘I just thought this speaks volumes. I’m still trying to look out for you and you can’t even give me the time of day.’
Brittany said that after leaving the show with Timm he became a ‘different person’.
‘I was so disappointed, so exasperated by the whole thing,’ she added.
Meanwhile, Timm told 10Play he had no choice but to leave Paradise, after finding himself ‘caught up’ in so much drama.

He confessed that he was in a bad ‘headspace’ when he quit, but insisted his feelings for Brittany were ‘very real’ at the time.
‘I was battling some demons in myself [in Paradise] and I think I took them into the outside. That’s why me and Britt didn’t really work,’ Timm said.
He acknowledged that things became ‘too much’ and he ‘hurt’ Brittany as a result.
Responding to Brittany’s claims that he ‘ghosted’ her, Timm told Daily Mail Australia: ‘That’s a fair call if I look back on it.
‘I had some personal stuff going on that I was dealing with at the time. If I had my time again I would have gone about it totally differently, but my intention wasn’t to “ghost” Britt and I didn’t see it like that.’
