The new Bachelor star’s surprising link to Pip Edwards is revealed – as Channel Ten confirms three new hunks looking for love
Channel 10 has confirmed that the new suitors are looking for love in the new season of The Bachelors, and it looks like one of the new leads has an intriguing link to Pip Edwards.
On Sunday, Ten announced that model Ben Waddell, former NRL player Luke Bateman and Brazilian-born influencer Wesley Senna Cortes would be the three suitors who would hand out roses in Season 11.
It’s not the first time fans have heard of Waddell, though, as he was only recently spotted cozying up to activewear designer Pip Edwards.
The duo were photographed laughing at the Australian Open on Jan. 30, sparking a possible romance.
The outing took place just days after Edwards found herself in the spotlight, branded as ‘the other woman’ in a feud between her ex Michael Clarke and his girlfriend Jade Yarbrough.

Waddell also made headlines earlier when he accused Netflix of allegedly plagiarizing his concept for what eventually became the hit documentary series Down to Earth with Zac Efron.
The model-turned-filmmaker claimed the eco-travel show was very similar to the concept he pitched to American producers in 2018.
The startling resemblance caught his eye when he saw the show trending on Netflix during the 2020 lockdown.

He recalled the moment, saying, “I was sitting on my couch during lockdown and turned on Netflix and it was trending as the second biggest show in the US. I fell off my chair. I was shocked. It was cruel, heartbreaking.’
Despite the setbacks, Ben Waddell continued to progress in his career and carved a lucrative path in the international modeling industry.
He is now eager to find a life partner who shares his passion for the environment and sustainability.
Speaking about his upcoming appearance on the Channel 10 dating show, Ben said: ‘It’s such a surreal experience to take part in the new Bachelor series. I’m going in with an open mind and an open heart to find the girl of my dreams.”
