For months, there’s been speculation about a romantic connection between Golden Bachelor star Barry ‘Bear’ Myrden and the show’s host, Samantha Armytage.
Rumors of a romantic connection between the two began after they appeared together on the red carpet at the Logies, where people noticed how close they seemed.
Oh my gosh, he *finally* addressed all the buzz! I’ve been glued to social media waiting for him to say *something* about everything people are saying, and now that the show is almost here, he actually did! I’m so excited!
Bear was at the premiere of The Golden Bachelor in Sydney on Monday, and he excitedly told Daily Mail how much he admires his fellow cast member.
The 61-year-old praised Samantha’s hosting of the first season, calling her performance ‘sensational’ and ‘great’.
‘I used her as a mentor the whole way through and she said, “follow your heart,” which I did.’

When questioned about the rumors linking him to the TV star, he immediately denied them.
Honestly, when I heard about all the talk, I wasn’t surprised. He basically confirmed it’s just speculation, saying he’d simply call it rumors. It’s what I expected, really.
Samantha looked incredibly elegant on the red carpet. She wore a sleeveless, champagne-colored dress that showed off her fit physique and sun-kissed skin, and everyone noticed her.
The 49-year-old woman looked radiant as she posed for the cameras, her blonde hair flowing over her shoulders. She appeared to have smooth, wrinkle-free skin, enhanced by a glowing makeup style.
Bear wore a dashing tuxedo and bowtie as he took centre stage on the red carpet.
The Golden Bachelor looked stylish and relaxed as he casually posed for photos with his hand in his pocket.
On Monday at the KIIS FM studio in Sydney, stars from The Golden Bachelor seemed to steer clear of each other while photographers were around, fueling ongoing rumors about their connection.
They kept things brief and avoided talking or making eye contact as they left the studio, continuing to deny rumors of a relationship.


He was joined on the red carpet by the actors competing for his affection in the new series, and they all looked stunning.
The American show ‘The Golden Bachelor’ has become incredibly popular, and viewers in Australia have been eagerly asking for their own version since it first aired.
Last month, Samantha, the show’s host, had to respond to rumors about a possible romance with Bear. These rumors started after they appeared together on the red carpet at the Logies awards, leading people to speculate about a connection beyond what viewers saw on screen.
On the Nova podcast hosted by Chrissie Swan, the former Sunrise presenter and current host of Channel Nine’s dating show playfully dismissed rumors of a romantic relationship with her older co-star.
When asked about using her employee discount for personal gain, Sam jokingly said, “You can’t host a show and then date the star! That wouldn’t be very fair, would it?”
