Friends of the brunette photographer, 38, exclusively tell Woman’s Day that Poppy has been open to dating since leaving the show.

“She’s moving slow with him, but things are looking good,” dishes a friend.

“She’s had her heart broken, so obviously she’s wary and taking things a day at a time,” adds the friend, who insists the TV bride feels robbed after the show’s experts paired her with the Melbourne-based FIFO worker.

Luke, 39, frequently travels for work, while Poppy needs to stay at home for her kids.

“She needed someone on the same path, or at the very least someone in the same state,” quips her friend.

Poppy’s romance with Luke got off to a shaky start on MAFS when she freaked out at the couple’s wedding, leading to awkward tension between the pair.

But speaking to TV WEEK, Poppy revealed why she was so upset..

“I brought all my closest friends all that way to witness my second marriage, and then there wasn’t that instant connection with Luke,” Poppy previously said.

“I just started to panic as well about, ‘What am I doing here? I’ve left my kids.'”

However, she insisted she would never have quit on the day of the wedding.

“I was never going to do that because that would just have been unfair to everyone.”

Poppy said she was “petrified” when she was walking down the aisle.

“You just know everyone is going to judge you for everything. That weighs on your mind. It’s not like when the show first started and it was this little experiment.”
