Georgia and Lee, who first met on the 2016 season of The Bachelorette, announced their separation with identical posts to Instagram last week.

Georgia Love (pictured) has broken her silence days after announcing her split from husband Lee Elliot 'There is no drama, no bad blood. Just two people who have grown in different directions while still holding deep respect and care for each other. 'We remain friends and we'd really appreciate our privacy as we navigate this next stage.
Thank you.' Georgia and Lee have fuelled rumours they had split for some time as it had been more than four months since they were seen together. They pair spent Christmas apart with their respective families before Georgia jetted off to New York City for a holiday without Lee.
They were also both spotted without their wedding bands, which led to a wave of speculation online which suggested they had ended their relationship. It seemed the pair were still living under the same roof at their marital home in Melbourne as recently as Saturday. Georgia was spotted making a trip to a nail salon before she headed to the home to prepare for a drinks night.
The former reality TV star was not wearing her wedding ring during the outing and had been seen without the diamond sparkler for months.

TV star debuts transformation after split with Lee Shortly after, Lee returned home driving a tradesman's ute while wearing a bright yellow uniform. Last month, a source told Daily Mail Australia the pair were well and truly over after spending Christmas and the new year apart.
'The time apart could be good for them and I think they both have had an opportunity to see what life would be like if they did [officially] separate,' they said. The source added Lee 'has always supported Georgia following her dreams' and 'I think whatever happens, they will remain friends in the long term'. 'Everyone, including them, is hoping they make things work and I guess that's why they have been so reluctant to address anything officially,' they said.
Fans on Instagram continued to press Georgia about her husband's whereabouts while she was away in New York. She had not confirmed a split or a trial separation at the time, but simply said he was 'at home' while she was living it up in the states for New Year's Eve. 'Where is Lee?' one user asked in her comments section, adding a sad-faced emoji.
The couple married in 2021 at the Frogmore Creek Winery outside Hobart, followed by an outdoor reception at the Shene Distillery 'He's at home, I'm here visiting my friend,' Georgia replied, adding she was 'incredibly tired of this question'. One follower asked, 'Oh, you've split up with Lee?' which prompted another to reply: 'Poor Lee.' 'Why?' Georgia bluntly answered.
The pair met and fell in love on the 2016 season of The Bachelorette, which saw Georgia, a former TV news reporter, choose tradie Lee as her winning suitor. They married in 2021 at the Frogmore Creek Winery outside Hobart, followed by an outdoor reception at the Shene Distillery. The lovebirds had been due to marry in Italy the year prior, but were forced to cancel due to Covid travel restrictions.
The following year, they moved into their $1.3million townhouse in Melbourne's upmarket suburb of Hampton East. It comes after Georgia was allegedly spotted with a mystery man on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula last month.

The source claims the couple were displaying a certain 'chemistry' on the outing. 'They looked very much newly acquainted,' the insider said.
'There was clearly nervous energy and chemistry between them,' they added, when asked if the two could have been just friends. Meanwhile, a close friend of Lee's offered their assessment as to why the four-year marriage failed. 'Georgia has probably grown tired of coming second to his friend group,' they told Daily Mail Australia.
'He loves to go out with the boys.' They added the split was a shame as they believed the couple were a perfect match. 'In my opinion, Georgia seemed like a good match [for Lee],' they said.
'With her being quite ambitious and her priorities also not being with settling down, that seemed like a good partner for Lee.' Daily Mail Australia has contacted Georgia Love for comment.
