Speaking on the Friendship Rose podcast with comedian Rose Callaghan, Michael said: ‘She said she was moving to Los Angeles. Bella wanted to be an actress, or wants to be an actress.’

‘Bella was one of the very first girls that we got,’ he said, adding that he was shocked when he saw her in trailers for the Bachelor several weeks ago.
Michael claimed he’d spoken to his ex-girlfriend about Bella’s appearance on the Channel 10 dating show and was given some surprising information.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Bella Varelis for comment and clarification.
In September 2019, Bella said she was represented by Five Twenty Management, but it’s unclear if that is the same agency Michael was referring to.
The management company told Daily Mail Australia they no longer represent Bella.
