The Bachelor Richie Strahan's unlucky love life
He's the goofy, robotic blond best known for his bizarre catchphrase 'Cool bananas!' and being left heartbroken on The Bachelorette.
But, it's safe to say, a lot has changed for Richie Strahan in just two years.
Since his ill-fated appearance as The Bachelor last year, the rope access technician has watched THREE former flames enter lesbian relationships.
As his ex Alex Nation embarks on a love affair with her Frankston Bombers teammate Maegan Luxa, Daily Mail Australia back looks at Richie's failed romances.

According to his Bachelorette profile, Richie, then 30, had experienced the 'highs and lows of love' before signing up for the 2015 show.
While little is known about the Perth heartthrob's former relationships, he did claim last year he was still 'friends' with most of his exes.
Sadly, his attempts to impress Sam Frost were not successful, placing third behind runner-up Michael Turnbull and eventual winner Sasha Mielczarek.
But, in his defence, Sam later claimed Richie was an honourary 'second place' and she had only sent him home before the Bachelorette finale to spare his feelings.

Following his reality TV heartbreak, Richie is believed to have sowed his wild oats among Australia's C-list celebrity circuit - but nothing was ever official.
In-between filming The Bachelorette and his announcement as The Bachelor, he was even briefly linked to Big Brother Australia's Tully Smyth.
Richie allegedly shared a kiss with the bisexual travel blogger at the 2015 Melbourne Cup, and they later attended a David Guetta concert together.

It was claimed the 'couple' had reunited in January 2016, after Tully posted Snapchat photos of herself and Richie while on holiday in Bali, Indonesia.
But any hopes of a serious relationship were dashed when Richie was confirmed as Australia's fourth Bachelor in March last year.
He was given his choice of 22 eligible Bachelorettes hoping to win his heart (not to mention a few pretty 'intruders'), what could possibly go wrong?
But following the season finale, Richie was declared 'Australia's most hated man' after dumping fan favourite Nikki Gogan in favour of single mother Alex Nation.
It was a decision the Chadwick-signed male model would perhaps live to regret.

Meanwhile, away from the cameras, two female contestants were less concerned with Richie as they enjoyed a blossoming romance with each other.
Months after filming, Megan Marx and Tiffany Scanlon confirmed they were in a same-sex relationship after becoming close friends on-set.
The former couple, who split in March this year are a brief fling, previously told Daily Mail Australia they fell in love on a post-Bachelor holiday to Bali.
But Richie wasn't too embarrassed by Megan and Tiffany's romance, which made global headlines, as he was happily dating Alex at the time.

But all that changed after photos surfaced of Richie and Alex looking tense in a Perth street six months ago, in February, apparently after a blazing row.
It was around this time the couple split, according to a recent article by Woman's Day, and decided to 'keep up appearances' to avoid a scandal.
Afterwards, Alex threw herself into other pursuits - such as her community radio program on Southern FM, and her Frankston Bombers Women's Football Team.
It was during her weekend footy games that another female player caught Alex's eye - short-haired 31-year-old Melbourne chef Maegan Luxa.

While Alex and Richie were still trying to maintain the façade of a couple, she was busy falling in love with a woman, according to New Idea magazine.
Meanwhile, as Alex went public through a 'friend' on Monday, Richie was looking rather forlorn buying milk and bread alone in his native Perth.
It remains to be seen if Richie will be enjoying dimly lit meals-for-one for the next few months, or if a new love is on the horizon for the professional abseiler.
