In a YouTube video on Tuesday, Bella told fans in a Q&A session that she was still single and would never consider taking Locky back.

Bella was left shaken during the September finale on Channel 10 as Locky chose rival Irena Srbinovska, despite telling her he loved her too.

‘I’m actually really grateful Locky dumped me… and I’m just really excited for life. At the end of the day, I absolutely loved Locky, and I really could see a future with him.

‘Every relationship and every person that comes into your life is a lesson, and Locky was just a big lesson for me,’ Bella said.

The marketing manager confirmed she was still single in the video, but was not actively looking for a new partner.

‘Guys suck. I want to focus on myself at the moment,’ she said.  

When asked if the tables had been turned at the finale, Bella claimed she probably would have broken up with Locky for being in love with both of them.

She also gave a solid ‘no I wouldn’t’ to being asked if she would ever take Locky back if he split with Irena.  

‘I’m happy for them both and I wish them the best, but I know this just wasn’t suppose to be my happily every after,’ Bella said.

Locky and Irena finally moved to Perth this month.

Irena, a nurse from Melbourne, shared the exciting news to Instagram two weeks ago, revealing they had arrived in WA after her travel permit was approved. 

She now plans to relocate her ‘entire life’ to Perth to be with Locky, where she has lined up a nursing job.
