Gone are the days where Blake Garvey played a cruel game of swapsies.
After publically proposing and then swiftly dumping current Bachelorette, Sam Frost in spectacular fashion – Blake moved on with the Bachelor’s second runner up, Louise Pillidge.
Last October, Louise and Blake declared their love for one another exclusively in Woman’s Day. Now, one year on they’re still very much together.
The blonde beauty uprooted her life from Jindabyne in New South Wales and moved across the country to Perth in order to live with her man.
“We are building a life together, sharing it, experiencing fun things and looking for some normality in our lives,” Louise explained in March to news.com.au.
While the 27-year-old recently confessed that she and Blake weren’t tying the knot anytime soon, if her Instagram page is anything to go by (and Blake’s dismal appearance on Celebrity Apprentice) – the pair must be very much in love.

It was a real life case of one woman’s trash is another gal’s treasure. After Sam Frost[inset] escaped a man that loves cabbage patch dolls, Louise Pillidge rekindled her TV romance with Bachelor Blake Garvey
The pair met on the second season of The Bachelor. Blake was instantly smitten by the event planner, who caught his attention with a very smooth move… turning up with a self-name signature cocktail called Luscious Louise. “I love surprising people. I love people to walk away after meeting me going ‘wow, I did not expect that’,” Louise said to camera. Obviously the move earned her one of the first roses.
Blake and Louise were on the road to love, until he left her heartbroken in South Africa… Or so we thought.
But the deep-voiced Perth local decided he needed to be with Luscious Louise and the way to win her back was through his great penmanship. “Dad gave me the letter a few days before the finale aired. It took me a while to process. But that letter was one of the most overwhelming things I had ever experienced,” Louise told Woman’s Day.
The loved up duo got to have their ice-cream, and eat it too!
Their love blossomed even without a team of Channel 10 producers creating amazing dates and commentary by Osher. “So much love for this amazing woman. She takes my breath away every day,” Blake gushed.
Blake’s family completely adore Louise. “We’ve got my family, his family, we’ve got a lot of beautiful support out there,” Louise quipped.
The couple still indulge in fun, lavish evenings. “My whole life has changed,” Louise said about her romance.

“This picture was taken one year ago today when I met Blake <3," Louise recalled. Happy one year Lou and Blake! It only took 24 girls, one fiancée, a billion roses and a cocktail called Luscious Louise for them to find their one true love.
