Abbie Chatfield has revealed ‘issue’ with her open relationship
After fending off harsh critics, Abbie Chatfield has revealed there’s an “issue” with her open relationship with boyfriend Konrad.
Abbie Chatfield has said there’s an “issue” with her open relationship – just weeks after revealing she and boyfriend Konrad Bien-Stephens were allowed to have sex with other people.
The outspoken influencer turned radio-host has fiercely defended the pair’s decision to be committed to each other while being allowed to sleep with other people.
However on her Hit Network show Hot Nights with Abbie, the 26-year-old said she was “upset” by how their situation has unfolded to date.
“The issue is Konrad is the only one who seems to be able to get laid around here,” she told producer Rohan on Tuesday.
“I’m upset because he’s now slept with two people and I am happy for him.
“But I am also like, when will it be the Chatfield’s turn? Because I have no prospects in sight.”
Abbie added that the situation had left her “feeling like a bit of a loser”.
When Rohan asked why Abbie isn’t also enjoying the benefits of being open, the It’s A Lot podcast host put it down to one thing.
“I’m so busy and I also find it really hard to find people that I want to sleep with and they don’t know who I am.”
While Abbie and Rohan both had a laugh at the predicament, joking about at the end of the segment at the suggestion the former Bachelor contestant would soon be “sitting alone in the corner of the bar licking her lips”, social media users were quick to weigh in.
“Mmmmm sort of becoming a competition…. I dunno if I could embrace this. Each to their own and respect to you both,” one said.
“Sounds like he’s just having his cake and eating it too️. You are allowing this because you love him but he doesn’t truly love you if he’s had two women other than yourself in the couple of weeks you’ve decided to be ‘open’,” another reasoned.
Not everyone was sceptical though, with some sharing support for Abbie and Konrad’s unusual arrangement.
“Takes a special couple to be able to have the unwavering trust in each other to be able to have the unconventional type of relationship, good to know there are others out there,” one wrote.
While one follower reasoned: “If you want to sleep with people who don’t know you ... I think you’re going to have to go a lot older or international.”
Abbie has previously slammed critics of her open relationship, telling them to “get a grip”.
The pair revealed they were non-exclusive after rumours emerged claiming they were “breaking up” last month.
But after sharing their relationship “kink”, Abbie was bombarded with backlash.

“Some of you f**kers are so embarassingly triggered because you’re so insecure, you’re like ‘but if you love someone’, not me, not him,” she said.
“It’s fine, if that’s how you feel, be monogamous, love that for you“But why do you care if I f**k someone else or he f**ks someone else.”
She continued: “Just because you want everyone to want monogamy as much as you do, doesn’t mean that someone not wanting monogamy is a bad thing,” she said. “Why does it affect you which genitals touch each other? Get a grip.”
