Bella Varelis has reunited with her ex-boyfriend Will Stokoe after they split over a year ago.

The former couple were spotted enjoying lunch at Chargrill Charlie in Rose Bay on Thursday.

The Bachelor season eight runner-up, 28, and her former photographer sat across from each other at the facility as Will ate a chicken burger.

She wore a sky blue bikini as she sat in the sun, while Will was shirtless and wearing a pair of black shorts.

The former reality star said she hoped to keep the breakup private, but had no choice but to go public about it due to her celebrity status and “constant questions” from fans.

“I feel it’s best to answer this once so the curiosity will stop because I get asked about this everyday,” she said.

“Will and I decided to take some time and focus on ourselves,” she added.
