This is when he met Laura Byrne. Fans watched as the couple fell in love, and eventually decided to start a life together.
Reality TV relationships often have a short lifespan, but this was not the case for the bachelor 2016 winners. Fans have followed the couple avidly on social media and have shared all the milestones with them; two years on and Matty and Laura are still very much in love.
In fact, the couple recently announced that they are pregnant with their first child. Fans of the show are excited to note that this will be the first Bachelor Au baby to be born.
