The nation watched in anticipation as Arthur Green and Matilda Rice fell for each other on the first ever season of The Bachelor NZ this year. After weeks of group and one-on-one dates, cocktail parties, embarrassing animals and even a terrifying horseback accident for Matilda, the couple have made it through and are more smitten than ever.
Now that the cameras have stopped rolling, what's in store for the lovestruck duo? As Matilda revealed to Woman's Day, the couple are excited to "just be normal".
Having to keep their relationship secret until the show finished meant plenty of sneaking around for Art and Matilda, with secret date locations all around Auckland. Now, however, the two can finally go public with their romance.
"Art's the same genuine guy I fell for on the show. He's down-to-earth, caring and hilarious - the only difference now is he is all mine," Matilda revealed to Woman's Day.
