For the first time in “Bachelor” history, the franchise is heading to Melbourne. There, three hopeful men — Wesley Senna Cortes, Ben Waddell, and Luke Bateman — will dive headfirst into the search for true love.

We’ve been introduced to the 24 Bachelorettes, each poised and ready to capture not just attention but the hearts of our trio of Bachelors.

It’s all about love, laughter, and, let’s be real, probably a few nerves and surprises along the way. These gals are gearing up to sweep these gents off their feet, and it’s going to be one heck of a ride. So, get comfy and get ready to meet these ladies.

Meet “The Bachelors” Cast

Aarthi, 29, NSW

Network 10

Aarthi is a courageous 29-year-old from Sydney who isn’t afraid to show off her true self, and now, she’s ready to step into the limelight on “The Bachelors”. She loves a good adventure, getting creative and having a laugh, and proudly embraces the intersection between her Sri Lankan heritage and her Australian upbringing.

Previously, Aarthi was in a corporate profession, but recently decided to take a step back and move in health projects management. Now, she’s on a journey to finding her own spark, and she doesn’t want to live for the expectations of her parents. The new Aarthi is a courageous gal who’s in it for personal happiness.

“I have been lucky to be in love twice before, both with my best friends,” Aarthi says in a press statement.

She’s ready to give her “Bachelor” a taste of the love she gives to her “most cherished best friends”. Still, in a post to her Instagram page, she did admit that she could be in her over her head when she steps into the mansion. Will she captivate Luke, Wesley or Ben with her vivacious spirit?

Amelia, 25, NSW

Amelia is looking to fall in love for the very first time on this season of “The Bachelors”.

The 25-year-old nursing student was raised by parents who work in the medical field, so following their career trajectory was a no brainer. She’s a family-oriented soul and places “unwavering trust” in her family and friend group. They support her love for fitness and taste for adventure, and understand that Amelia is a person whose emotions guide her decisions above all else.

Now that Amelia is in her mid-20s, she’s keen to settle down with someone for life. While she doesn’t believe in soulmates, she does subscribe to the idea that there are people who you can share a deeper connection with than others.

Is love waiting for her inside “The Bachelors” mansion?

Anastasia, 32, VIC

Call it high standards, but Anastasia won’t settle for less than a partner who loves the real her. She’s already called off two prior engagements — will her stint on “The Bachelors” prove that a third time’s the charm?

Regardless, no one can compete with the love that this self made entrepreneur has for her daughter, Olympia.

When asked why she’s still single, Anastasia notes that she “just didn’t feel the need to have a man around”, because she wanted to focus on her child and work. The 32-year-old from Victoria isn’t interested in entertaining anyone who’s dramatic, gaslights, lies, can’t keep up with hygiene or needs a woman to validate their insecurities.

Anastasia is bringing her strong confidence and nurturing energy to “The Bachelors” cast. We’re curious to find out which eligible gentleman will catch her attention.

Angela, 36 VIC

Angela is 36, thriving, and now, she’s ready to join 23 other lovely ladies on the quest for true love on “The Bachelors”.

When it comes to relationships, Angela takes inspiration from her parents, who have been married for over 45 years. This determined entrepreneur wants a love that lasts, and knows very well that commitment can endure any hurdle.

The leading men of “The Bachelors” cast — Ben, Wesley and Luke — will have to adapt Angela’s appreciation for old-school traditions, her Italian upbringing, and independent mindset. Her ultimate goal for this experience is to find someone who sparks her interest and leads her toward building a family full of love.

According to Angela, she’s a financially stable and emotionally mature potential partner with a face that looks “10 years younger”. Will one of our Bachelors be the one for her?

Angie, 33, VIC

Angie’s on the look out for a specific person — her celebrity crush, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Although it’s unlikely that she’ll find him in “The Bachelors” mansion, she’ll settle for someone who loves to travel and possesses Rock-like vibes. At 33-year-old, the makeup artist from Victoria is ready to find her person — as long as they’re not dishonest, a cheater, or emotionally stunted.

She comes from a passionate, loud and chaotic family of Greek heritage. They have plenty of expectations for her, but she’s determined to follow her heart. Still, her upbringing as a first-generation Aussie influences her vibrant personality.

Her belief in love at first sight doesn’t come from romantic experiences. Rather, it’s something she felt when she saw her niece and nephew for the first time. Angie recalls the feeling as intense and the connection instant.

If Ben, Wesley and Luke like theatre, films and learning as much as this “Bachelors” castmate, we’re sure to see sparks fly.

Brea, 25, QLD

After spending time soaking up the great outdoors in her caravan, 25-year-old Brea wants to take the next step and embark on a journey to love. The Queenslander joins the 23 other women hoping to steal the hearts of 2023’s Bachelors. With her affinity for adventure, surfing, diving, fishing, boating, camping and mad guitar skills, Brea’s bringing a lot to the competition.

If Brea had to compare her love life to a romantic comedy, she says that it would be “The Wedding Date”, with Dermot Mulroney and Debra Messing. Why?

“I’m such a people pleaser,” she explains in a press statement. “Always saying sorry, always putting others ahead of myself, worried about how people perceive me, chasing a guy that isn’t worth my time.

“When I just let my hair down and enjoy myself, I attract quality men and I need to remind myself of this more,” Brea adds.

At heart, she’s a down to earth country girl who’s uncertain if she’s ever been in love. Perhaps things will change when she meets Ben, Wesley and Luke?

Caitlin, 25, VIC

According to a post on Caitlin’s Instagram page, joining “The Bachelors” cast is her “Bridgerton” moment. She’s a self confessed romantic that grew up watching grand displays of love in films.

Along with her taste for love, Caitlin doesn’t shy away from showing her emotions and needs a relationship where her partner treats her like a queen. The 25-year-old jewellery sales consultant has a tendency to fall hard and fast.

What does she bring to the table? Well, she’s funny, caring and looking to grow with her partner to bring a family to life. Caitlin is a firm believer in love at first sight and is very vocal about people that claim it isn’t a thing.

“If you say you don’t, go watch someone give birth and fall in love with their baby straight away or go look at some puppies and tell me it’s not love at first sight,” she claims.

She’s looking for a Bachelor that sees kids in their future, is kind to others and a strong communicator with a love for wildlife.

Carla, 23, NSW

Carla is a strong-willed and fiercely independent individual who exudes self-assurance, unapologetically speaking her mind without hesitation. Her drive is unmistakable, fearlessly pursuing her desires, even if it means stirring up a bit of controversy.

When it comes to relationships, the 23-year-old breaks away from conventional labels, stating, “I’ve never been in a labelled relationship.” Instead, she navigates what she refers to as “situation-ships”, acknowledging that while none have been successful, no single person holds significant importance in her life.

“I’ve felt some degree of love once before. There was a wave of emotions that made me believe they were the one, but something wasn’t quite right,” she said in a press release.

Chrystal, 25, VIC

This 25-year-old is a ball of energy, crunching numbers by day and owning the roller-skating scene by night. And when it comes to matters of the heart, Chrystal is an open book; finding love is right up there on her to-do list.

Chrystal’s journey is deeply rooted in her traditional Cantonese family, shaped by her father’s firm values, particularly when it comes to dating outside her race.

“Growing up as a Chinese girl in a Western society posed its challenges,” Chrystal said in a press release. “I often found myself navigating conflicting cultural norms, unsure of what was considered right or wrong when, in reality, there was no one-size-fits-all answer.”

Chrystal’s life story unfolds at the intersection of cultures, and she’s all about keeping it real. She’s been a hooked fan of “The Bachelor”, and the idea of diving into a romantic adventure feels like a once-in-a-lifetime shot at finding the right person.
