Bachelorette winner opens up on new love after shock split

Carlin Sterritt has addressed rumours of a new romance with a popular Aussie wellness expert following his break-up with Bachelorette Angie Kent.

Carlin Sterritt claims he is not dating wellness expert Andi Lew but has confirmed he is in the early stages of a new relationship after splitting from Bachelorette girlfriend Angie Kent.

Attending the launch of Lew’s eighth book, Connected, at Paddington’s Daily Greens, Sterritt told Confidential he had been “casually seeing someone”.

“There was speculation about Andi and I because we were seen in Bondi together one time,” he laughed. “We aren’t dating, we are just very good friends.”
Sterritt wouldn’t give any further detail on the woman he has been seeing, other than that she works in marketing.

“It is early days,” he said. “Would I settle down? That is a loaded question. I would say I am happy to invest my time in to sharing my life with someone but settling down, I’ve settled down before and I am definitely not ready for that yet.”

Sterritt and Kent fell in love and began dating on the 2019 season of reality show, The Bachelorette. They announced their separation on social media in July.

“It was a great experience,” Sterritt, 32, said. “I think what Angie and I had was real for sure. We had our differences … we gave it a crack and it didn’t work at the end of the day but that is okay.”

Sterritt said he and Kent “talk every now and then” to “clear the air”.

“It is very amicable,” he said. “Just going to each other first instead of jumping to conclusions has been what we have been good at I think.”

Lew meanwhile recently moved to Sydney from Melbourne, where she was well known on the social scene and for her work in the wellness space.

She works in training and management at Health Space Clinics and was inspired to write her new book, Connected, through witnessing a “wellness revolution in full swing”.

“Connected aims to heal the divide between allopathy and wellness,” she explained. “We need both. It really is a guide to wholistic health, looking at how people can slow ageing and be vitalistic. People shouldn’t wait until something is broken, they need to be proactive with their health, not reactive.”
