From footy stars and Olympians, to actors and models, Southeast Queensland is home to some of Australia’s hottest singles.
We’ve asked Brisbane’s gossip gurus, gone on deep-dive social media searches and scoured the internet to find the 40 most eligible bachelors and bachelorettes you should shoot your shot with.
Robert Irwin, 21
He was already the prince of Australia’s unofficial royal family and a beloved wildlife conservationist, but Robert Irwin recently added ‘heart-throb’ to his list of titles.
After his racy campaign photos for Bonds were released in April, women the world over began lining up for our dear Robert.
The question is, will the youngest Irwin take any of them up on their offers?
Reece Walsh, 22
Brisbane Bronco Reece Walsh is a fan favourite for many reasons.
A star player, a seemingly great dad, a multimillion-dollar contract and a pretty face - Walsh has a lot to offer the women of Brisbane.
Scott Tweedie, 37
Australia’s prank king is yet to find his queen.
Busy flying all over Australia to host massive one-off parties, the television and radio host hasn’t found the time to settle down … yet.
Hugh McCluggage, 27
Aside from his devilishly good looks, Lions star Hugh McCluggage has been dubbed “one of the competition’s most exciting talents”.
While he appears to be single, the momentum of his 2024 Premiership win with Brisbane might just rocket him towards true love in 2025.
Jayden Campbell, 25
Gold Coast Titan and Indigenous All Star Jayden Campbell may have been born in Sydney, but he’s Gold Coast through and through.
The 25-year-old is a second-generation star after his father Preston tore up the NRL in the 2000s.
Humble and well-liked across the competition, Campbell is a catch.
Lincoln Lewis, 37
Actor Lincoln Lewis first charmed Aussies as Geoffrey “Geoff” Campbell on the nation’s favourite soap opera, Home and Away.
He’s since won the hearts of a handful of lucky ladies on and off screen, though he appears to be back on the dating market.
Lee Carseldine, 49
Athlete, reality show competitor, TV personality, and tech owner - retired cricketer Lee Carseldine has lived many lives.
If he’d willingly spend weeks in the wilderness on Australian Survivor, not just once, but twice, imagine what Carseldine would do for love.
David ‘Luttsy’ Lutteral
Radio host David ‘Luttsy’ Lutteral has been charming audiences live on-air for more than 20 years.
Luttsy is of the opinion that prioritising self-love will help romance blossom in the future, and Mrs Luttsy is out there somewhere.
Jordan Riki, 25
Born and raised in New Zealand, Jordan Riki is one of rugby league’s biggest heart-throbs.
The Brisbane Bronco is the subject of many a TikTok edit, though it seems he’s yet to find love in the real world.
Last we heard, Riki was shutting down relationship rumours on TikTok in 2024.
Seb Laz
Influencer Seb Laz looks like he’s living the dream. It seems all he’s missing is someone to share his beachside, fun-filled life with.
Blake Mozer, 21
After bursting onto the scene in 2024, Blake Mozer is making his mark on Brisbane and become one of the Broncos’ brightest talents.
Despite an injury-plagued start to 2025, the long-haired, tattoo covered Mozer will no doubt find success soon … perhaps off the field as well.
Jacob Elordi, 27
Can we claim heart-throb actor Jacob Elordi as a Queensland bachelor? We think so.
Despite landing an array of movie and television roles in Hollywood, Elordi is Brisbane-born and flies home to be with family regularly.
His on-and-off-again relationship with controversial influencer Olivia Jade has left fans unsure of his relationship status.
Glen Thomson
After his eight-year relationship with influencer and OnlyFans star Anna Paul ended in 2023, Glen Thomson dedicated himself to working on his fitness and growing as a person.
Having had what fans are calling a massive glow-up, Mr Thomson is single and back on the market.
Harry Jowsey, 27
While he’s quite the jetsetter, Harry Jowsey always seems to be drawn back to his Queensland roots.
The Netflix reality star and influencer has been on more than his fair share of dating shows and caused plenty of drama, but he does seem to be in constant pursuit of romantic connections … for better or for worse.
Jock Madden, 25
Broncos halfback Jock Madden appears to have remained single since moving to Brisbane in 2023.
Originally from the Hunter region of NSW, this footy star was dubbed the future of the Broncos by ex-coach Kevin Walters.
Is this the year Madden finds the perfect partner to share that bright future with?
Jed Walter, 19
Jed Walter may have been born in Perth, but he’s made the Gold Coast his home since being drafted to the Suns in 2023.
Walter appeared to be in a relationship in 2020, though that seems to be a thing of the past … go for it, girls!
Michael Gambaro
Hospitality royalty, Michael Gambaro comes from a long line of magnates who have revolutionised Brisbane’s cuisine scene.
In his search for romance, Mr Gambaro was a contestant on the 2022 season of Channel 9’s Beauty and the Geek.
While his relationship from the show didn’t work out, Mr Gambaro hasn’t given up on love.
Rafael Struick, 22
An international footballer currently playing as a forward or winger for Brisbane Roar, Rafael Struick would be a change of pace for those looking for an athlete outside of rugby league.
He recently led Indonesia in their World Cup qualifier against the Socceroos and has accomplished a lot in his 22 years, though he doesn’t seem to have found “the one” yet.
Mollie O’Callaghan, 21
Swimmer Mollie O’Callaghan is a Queensland icon, an Order of Australia recipient and the reigning Olympic champion in the 200m freestyle.
She swims laps around her competitors in the pool, so we can only imagine how she stacks up on the dating scene.
Sasha Morpeth
Model and social media influencer Sasha Morpeth lives an idyllic life on the Gold Coast.
Sasha’s comedy videos earned her more than five million followers on TikTok, but she’s yet to find a life partner.
Eden Harper
Eden Harper was in one of the most promising relationships on season 11 of MAFS.
Despite leaving the show together, she and ex-husband Jayden Eynaud went their separate ways in 2024, and Eden is currently still single.
Aisha Dee, 31
Actress and singer Aisha Dee has been on Aussie TV screens since 2008.
Born on the Gold Coast, Dee picked up role after role, earning an array of nominations for prestigious awards like AACTA Awards and Logies.
She’s conquered TV, film and music already … Is love next?
Bree Spreadborough, 26
Winger for the Broncos’ NRLW side, Bree Spreadborough is a rising footy star.
Originally from Rockhampton, Spreadborough made her NRLW debut in 2024 and has since signed on for a second season with the club.
The up-and-comer doesn’t seem to be locked down in a relationship, though.
Emily Seebohm, 32
Olympic swimming legend Emily Seebohm was engaged and off the market … until recently.
She and her fiance, former MAFS star Ryan Gallagher, fanned the flames of split rumours when they unfollowed each other on Instagram and started posting photos of themselves and their son Sampson without each other.
It seems the Olympian may be on the lookout for a new special someone very soon.
Tori Adams, 29
Tori Adams’ relationship with Jack Dunkley was one of the most controversial of MAFS 2023.
Jack’s behaviour on the show upset other contestants, the experts and fans, but Tori stood by her husband right until final vows.
Almost two years after meeting on the series, the pair announced their split in March, although they are reportedly still living together.
Leigh Sales, 52
Leigh Sales is one of Australia’s most respected journalists, and it’s clear she puts just as much work into her personal life as she does her professional.
After 20 years together, Sales and her husband Phil Willis announced their split in 2016.
In the years since, Sales hasn’t revealed a new romance, so it seems the three-time Walkley Award winner may be searching for love as well as the country’s most compelling stories.
Eleanor Hartill, 24
Perth-born Eleanor Hartill is one of the Brisbane Lions’ star players after converting to AFL from basketball.
She joined the Lions’ AFLW team in 2024, two years after making the switch to AFL and, having settled into Brisbane, Hartill may be on the lookout for love.
Lauren Bella, 24
Ruck for the Gold Coast Suns’ AFLW team, Lauren Bella comes from a family of athletes and showed exceptional talent from a young age.
Though she’s right at home on the Suns’ team, she’s still on the lookout for that special someone.
Tamara Hall
Tamara Hall is the head of Tamara Hall Properties and a prominent young real estate agent in Brisbane.
Tamara was also a hilarious highlight of the episode of MAFS 2025 when her sister Lauren married fellow contestant Eliot.
Based in Manly, Tamara prides herself on “bespoke excellence, iconic marketing and proven results”.
Perhaps all Tamara needs now is a romantic partner to share in her success.
Bridey Drake
Youtuber Bridey Drake seems to know how to have fun.
Millions of followers have watched her travel, try tasty food, crack jokes and even develop her own clothing brand.
One thing they haven’t seen is a glimpse into her romantic life. Bridey is either very coy about her private life, or she’s still on the lookout for “the one”.
Madi Dillon
Madi Dillon is an influencer and the social media manager for Remmie by Riley, a fashion label created by social media personality and model Riley Hemson.
2025 has already brought Madi collabs, brand trips and new opportunities … Will it bring her a new romance as well?
Madi Hemson, 26
Madi Hemson is the third member of the Remmie by Riley trio and keeps the brand running alongside Madi and Riley Hemson, her sister and the brand’s founder.
Ms Hemson is back on the dating scene after a break-up earlier this year.
Sianna Ginger, 19
Rising star Sianna Ginger is making waves in the cricket world. The 19-year-old became part of history when she was on Australia’s squad for the first-ever Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup in 2023, made her senior Queensland debut in February 2023, and was awarded her first state contract ahead of the 2023-24 season. Ginger doesn’t appear to have a significant other - young Queenslanders, shoot your shot!
Holly McQueen, 22
Young-gun footballer Holly McQueen has played for Brisbane Roar four the past four seasons.
An unfortunate ACL injury saw the 22-year-old miss out on the entire 2021/22 campaign, but, after careful rehabilitation, she bounced back in 2022 and never left the pitch.
As her career heats up, perhaps her dating life will too.
