New look: Matt has ditched the glasses and short hair he sported on The Bachelor
Case of the ex: Matt rose to fame on The Bachelor in 2019, and chose chemical engineer Chelsie McLeod (left) as his winner. Sadly, they broke up after just six months of dating
Matt – who chose chemical engineer Chelsie McLeod as his winner on The Bachelor, only to break up with her six months later – has ditched his signature glasses and short locks in favour of a more untamed look.
During his season of The Bachelor in 2019, Matt famously rejected Abbie Chatfield and chose Chelsie as his winner.
But the pair shocked fans when they announced their split in November that year, just six months after filming the season finale.
Matt said at the time: ‘Our relationship hasn’t translated from filming to the real, everyday world as we had hoped.’
He hasn’t publicly dated anyone since the break-up, but Chelsie recently debuted her model boyfriend Ricki Dehaan.
