Just weeks after making their Woman’s Day debut, Michael Turnbull and his girlfriend have split.
It seems they were a little premature with their love photo-shoot. Former The Bachelorette contestant Turnbull, 34, was even bandying about the M word (marriage, not M. Night Shyamalan. It’s a common mistake).
“I would definitely say this is the first time I’ve felt like this about any girl,” he told the mag. “I knew literally from the first date that this girl is very, very special and there was no way I was going to let her go.”
His former lady love was Katrina Vincent, 30, a woman who, from what I can glean from her Instagram account, enjoys wearing bikinis and doesn’t care who knows it.
She also loves her daughter, whose name is Ava. Turnbull met Ava at the same time he and Vincent struck up a conversation in a Brisbane cafe.
He described their first date to Woman’s Day as involving the park and an epic tantie from Ava that ended in vomit.
So it’s not as though he didn’t know what he was getting into.
Vincent, took to Instagram to clear things up. Next to a picture of her adorable little girl, she wrote:
“OK so for all of you who have been asking … Michael and I are no longer together. He end [sic] up deciding he doesn’t want to date a person with a child.
“I am embarrassed and humiliated, I wish I didn’t trust him so easily. Oh well you always learn from your mistakes.”
She’s removed all trace of the real estate agent from her Instagram account.
Hmmph. That sucks. Poor Katrina. Hey lady, don’t worry. You know he’s not really even a soccer player, right?

Not all posted by Michael Turnbull I should clarify.
He launched this # not longer after The Bachlorette finale. It's always used in conjunction with some good works by Turnbull, but does anybody else find this "creating your own squad thing" bizarre?!?
I am usually the last person I know to post negative thoughts about somebody doing a good deed for others, however, call me cynical! Smacks of pure self-promotion to me!
Perhaps dating when you have a small child is a little let's be honest 'self centred?'. Focus on the child not on you.
