The reality TV royalty were so close to never meeting…
You may know Sam Frost and Sasha Mielczarek as the outrageously well-matched couple from The Bachelorette Australia.
But in news that will please the hopeless romantics among us, it turns out Sasha didn’t want to go on the show at all until he heard Sam was locked in.
The construction manager told WHO Magazine he originally turned down an offer to star on the Channel Ten reality show, but changed his mind when he heard Sam was confirmed as the leading lady — calling the producers to ask if they could squeeze him in.
“She stood out the most [on The Bachelor] and I could actually see myself joking around with her,” he told WHO.
“I went on there for Sam and Sam only.”
The pair told the magazine they have plans to move in together and have discussed marriage and starting a family.
“We just know we’re supposed to be in each other’s lives,” says Sam, adding that the producers have called their relationship “fate”.
We might not go that far, but we agree it’s a pretty sweet story. (To everyone except runner-up Michael Turnbull, at least. He might be wishing Sasha had stuck to his work commitments…)
The news comes as Frost shared some relationship advice on Instagram, challenging Kim Kardashian’s recent suggestion that women should always wear make-up around their partners (sigh).
“This is a G rated version of what I think about Kim Kardashian saying ‘never let your husband see you without makeup’,” she wrote. “A close up of my silly head, next to my boyfriend of a day and a half. Your advice sucks!
“And FYI – my boyfie thinks when I wear fake eyelashes it looks like spiders hanging off my eyes.”
The straight-shooting caption is not the first Frost has posted of late.
Earlier this month, she posted another makeup-free selfie along with some down-to-earth remarks about her appearance.
“I feel very flattered when young girls comment on my photos or send me DMs about how much they look up to me and they want to be as pretty as me. Which is so lovely and adorable,” she wrote.
“but this is the every day me… no filter, no edits, dark circles, messy hair, break outs, uneven skin tone. And I wouldn’t change anything about myself!”
“What you see in magazines and on TV is the result of hours in the makeup chair with very talented H&MU Artist – I’ve said it before, but it’s what I live by… love yourself, be yourself, exactly the way you are xo.”
No question about it, these two are rather adorable.

In their initial meeting, didn't Sasha make a point of telling Sam that he hadn't watched the Bachelor series that Sam was in, saying he came in with no prior knowledge/judgement of her? Didn't really fit with quite a few of the things he said during the series, and of this claim - why would he change his mind and decide to go on based on Sam being the only one he could see himself with, if he hadn't watched the other series quite intently?!?
I wish Sam & Sasha the best of love & romance & all it's offerings! Us girls know there's a man drought! Good on both of them 4 taking the chance & challenge of putting their hearts on national TV! Only wish there was a bachelorette 4 us nice, 40's + romantics that would like to find love 2! There's a serious man drought of genuine worthy men! C'mon channel 10 or??? Do it! I'm keen! I did Perfect Match back in the day ... but only had a choice of 3 gents that were ... let's say dillberries! 1 of which was a school colleague of my brother's, & was off his face on the night! Oh well, I did get a couple of trips 2 Sydney & a weekend cruise up the Hawkesbury River. 😕
