‘The Bachelors Australia’: Zara Is Looking for a Magical Love Connection

January 3, 2023

Well, folks, The Bachelors‘ summer of love is finally here and, this season, things are going to be different.

Past seasons of The Bachelor Australia have featured helicopter dates over Sydney’s picturesque harbours, where our Bachelor would woo his date for the day. Then, they’d head back to the candle-lit mansion, dripping in fairy lights, for an elaborate Rose Ceremony where, each week, he’d whittle down the women vying for his affection one by one.

This season, all of that is changing.

First, and perhaps most importantly, there are three Bachelors — Jed McIntosh, Felix Von Hofe, and Thomas Malucelli — looking for love this year and, if the promos are anything to go by, at least one of them will pop the question by the end of the series.

Secondly, the show has relocated to Queensland’s sunny Gold Coast. The girls are residing in a waterfront mansion, but there’s not a twinkling light or candle in sight, promising a sleeker, more modern version of The Bachelors than we’ve seen in past seasons.

Finally, the promos show a more dynamic, less linear path to love for both our Bachelors and the girls in the mansion. As we’ve seen, there are girls who reject our Bachies, and some who may be keen to switch Bachelors along the way.

All in all, it’s set to be an exciting season and, with the first promos introducing the women vying for our Bachelors’ hearts dropping, it’s time to get to know them.

One of the women vying for Felix’s heart on The Bachelors Australia this year is 27-year-old Zara from NSW.

Having travelled to over 35 countries, and been wined and dined across the globe, Zara has found herself looking for something more substantial, and she’s hoping to find it this season on The Bachelors Australia.

“I am at an age in my life where I’m looking for something serious,” she said in a press statement. “I’ve been on quite a few dates, but I haven’t felt any deep magical connection.”

Originally from Canada, Zara grew up in Bermuda and, when she’s not appearing on The Bachelors Australia, she is all about yachts, private jets, and fast cars.

A natural social butterfly, Zara prides herself on being adaptable to whatever twists and turns life has in store for her, which is sure to come in handy in the Bachie mansion!

“I have lived in five different countries and have the ability to pick up my life and move without hesitation,” she said. “I think it’s exciting and I love meeting new people and making new friends.”

When it comes to the love department, though, Zara said that there’s room for improvement.

“I have loved but I have not been ‘in love’,” she said.

Now, she’s hoping to turn that around. Zara’s perfect partner would be someone ambitious, who’s also loyal, kind and without ego. Preferably, they’d also be good at ping pong.

Will Felix be the man for Zara? Only time will tell. Until then…

The Bachelors Australia premieres on January 9, only on 10 and 10 Play on Demand.
