Their destination wedding in Italy was put on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic earlier this year.

But this hasn’t stopped Bachelorette lovebirds Georgia Love and Lee Elliott from kicking goals in their relationship.

The couple announced on Monday they had just bought their first house together.

Mechanical plumber Lee, 38, joked on Instagram that he was finally an adult by purchasing real estate with his newsreader fiancée, 31.

Georgia uploaded a similar post, alongside the caption: ‘Because launching two businesses and planning two weddings during a global pandemic wasn’t stressful, interesting or financially draining enough, we thought, “Why not buy a house too?”‘

The duo, who fell in love on The Bachelorette in 2016, smiled from ear to ear as they celebrated the milestone with a bottle of Dom Pérignon. 

'adulting [uh-duhlt-ing] verb mimicking things you see real adults do in an attempt to trick people into believing you are a responsible member of society,' Lee captioned a cheeky post of himself and his fiancé with their Ragdoll, Pawdry Hepburn

Georgia later revealed she was being trolled for announcing she’d bought a house.

But she insisted she wasn’t showing off her wealth, but was instead ‘celebrating the fact Lee and I combined years of savings from working out a**es off so we could buy a property’.

‘That’s enough Internet for today me thinks,’ she added. 

She later reflected on the situation on Twitter, firing off an angry tweet just before midnight.

Not happy Jan: While the post was meant to be celebratory, Georgia revealed hours later she was being trolled 'for celebrating the fact Lee and I combined years of savings from working out arses off so we could buy a property.'

‘Current situation: being trolled because I tried to celebrate buying a house,’ the Channel 10 journalist wrote.

Georgia and Lee were supposed to get married in Italy this year, but their plans had to change when international borders shut due to the coronavirus pandemic.

They then planned a ceremony closer to home, in Tasmania, but this also hasn’t come to fruition because of the Covid-19 situation in Australia.

Venting: Georgia also took her outrage to Twitter by uploading a post sharing her thoughts just before midnight.'Current situation: being trolled because I tried to celebrate buying a house. That's enough internet for today,' the journalist wrote
