The Bachelor’s Locky Gilbert and Irena Srbinovska sign with Roxy Jacenko’s Ministry of Talent

Former Bachelor stars Locky Gilbert and Irena Srbinovska appear to be influencers in the making, after signing with Roxy Jacenko‘s talent management group, Ministry of Talent. 

The news was shared on the group’s official Instagram page this week, saying that the pair are ‘available for all travel, fashion, health and fitness brand collaborations.’

It comes after the pair, who met on television last year, took a swipe at Locky’s ex Bella Varelis and her ‘Instagram lifestyle.’

‘Spotted: Our loved-up adventure duo Irena and Locky. Both Irena and Locky are available now for all travel, fashion, health and fitness brand collaborations!’ the Ministry of Talent post read. 

The pictures accompanying the post showed them kissing at a wedding they attended recently.

The Ministry of Talent represents the likes of Michael Clarke, former Bachelor star Lisa Hyde, MAFS star Stacey Hampton and musicians Emma and Amy Sheppard.

In October last year, shortly after The Bachelor finished, Irena was questioned about the fact she didn’t have a ‘blue tick’ on Instagram – something that Bella and third-place contestant Bec Cvilikas both had as they embarked on careers as social media influencers.

Eagle-eyed fans would have noticed that Irena now has a blue tick on Instagram.  

While getting verified was clearly high on Bella and Bec’s to-do list after The Bachelor, Irena took a subtle swipe at her former rivals by telling The Wash she was ‘too busy’ being in love with Locky to care about her Instagram presence.

‘I’m not applying for a blue tick on Instagram,’ she said at the time with a laugh. ‘Locky had his before The Bachelor.’ 

‘I don’t know, I might get one in the future – but for now I’m focused on us. I’m too busy worrying about us getting to WA, that’s my focus,’ she added. 

Before that, Locky appeared to throw shade at runners-up Bella and Bec – who both live together in Bondi – by leaving a rather eyebrow-raising comment on Instagram.

‘We’re not too keen on the whole Bondi vibe. Give us the mountains any day,’ he wrote in response to a Daily Mail journalist.

A day earlier, Irena had also seemingly taken a dig at the two women when asked for her thoughts on them being verified on Instagram before her. 

‘I’m not about being an influencer, just about being real,’ she said pointedly.

Bizarrely enough, the couple were soon spotted holding hands on the promenade of Bondi Beach – despite slamming the suburb days earlier. 

Bella previously blasted the couple for their ‘subtle digs’ at her lifestyle.

‘I’m unsure why they’re making references towards me and how I’m living my life. I have better things to do than make subtle digs towards an ex,’ she said last week.

‘I’ve moved on and so should they.’
