Bachelor in Paradise: Sam proposes to Tara

FAR from being just a publicity stunt for TV, Bachelor in Paradise’s Sam Cochrane told Confidential he’s already started planning his wedding to Tara Pavlovic.

Sydney based Cochrane prosed to Gold Coast based Pavlovic during the romantic finale of the Channel 10 show last night. The episode was shot back in December and the two have been trying to hide their relationship since then.

“We’ve started planning the wedding but for now, I am looking forward to walking around Woollies together,” he said.

Cochrane added that while viewers might find their nuptials fast — they only spent four weeks filming the show — he wanted to propose “because I fell in love.”

“I knew I would eventually settle down but never thought I would get married, until I met Tara,” he said.

“I spent more time with Tara in those four weeks then I’d spent dating a girl in Sydney for nine months,” he said.

“It’s an interesting concept. Tara and I have a funny little onscreen bond and beautiful off-screen bond and people have loved watching it, so who knows,” he said.

The two weren’t the only ones to find love in Fiji. Jarrod Woodgate offered Keira Maguire a commitment ring. The two are now reportedly living together on Woodgate’s vinery in Melbourne.
