Look away, Luke! The Bachelor’s Wesley Cortes raises eyebrows as he steps out with Lana Chegodaev at Gitano’s Dolce Vita launch event

The Bachelor star Wesley Senna Cortes raised eyebrows when he stepped out with his co-star, who famously competed for the heart of fellow bachelor Luke Bateman on the show.

The 33-year-old Brazilian-born hunk was all smiles as he posed with his arm around Lana Chegodaev at Gitano’s Dolce Vita event in Sydney on Friday.

Wesley and Lana both starred in the 2023 series The Bachelor, but Lana explored a connection with football player Luke, while Wesley was involved with Brea on the show.

For the launch, Wesley looked stylish in a casual yet smart outfit, wearing a tan bomber jacket worn over a white T-shirt and black jeans.

Category manager Lana, 36, made a striking appearance in a daring black dress with statement cutouts that showed off her enviable figure.

Lana styled her raven locks in loose waves that fell over her shoulders and accentuated her striking features with a flawless makeup palette.

She wore gold earrings, which added a touch of elegance to her striking ensemble.

On the 2023 series The Bachelor, Lana vied for Luke’s heart but was left devastated when he broke things off with her on the series finale.

Luke instead chose Ellie Rolfe in the emotional episode, which aired in December, but the couple have since gone their separate ways.

Wesley, meanwhile, asked Brea to be his girlfriend during the decision ceremony, but she made her desire for compromise clear in an emotional letter of her own.

After not coming to terms, the couple eventually closed the door on their relationship, leaving Wesley feeling “sad and confused.”
