Love Triangle 2025‘s Chloe Hannigan and Bernie Placido shocked viewers when they struck up a connection outside of their own matches. Both participants were original suitors and were given not one, but two options to date on the show.
However, after Bernie locked eyes with Chloe at the first Dinner Party, it appeared that he’d all but forgotten about his Love Triangle matches, Jazmin and Marissa. He later made it clear that he was determined to get to know Chloe and slid her a secret letter confessing his feelings.
Chloe told Chattr that she had no idea that Bernie was interested in her before he made his move.

“I was definitely very surprised at how interested Bernie was from the very start, I was completely oblivious,” she said.
“I genuinely was tunnel-visioned. I didn’t even think to like, look elsewhere, so I had not even the tiniest niggling instincts that that this was happening. I just was like, He’s a really cool guy. I can be quite oblivious to when people fancy me. I’m always like, no, they surely they don’t think that of me.”
However, Bernie’s letter clearly worked, as Chloe secretly met up with him at the final Dinner Party and the couple shared a kiss away from their partners.
So, did Chloe and Bernie stay together in the real world? Let’s dive in!

Chloe and Bernie’s final Love Triangle decision
Chloe found herself in a love square between Emma, Beck and Chloe. It was Beck who removed herself from the situation first, then after Bernie reached out to Chloe and asked her to meet him on final decision day, she decided to break up with Beck, too.
Meanwhile, Bernie got double dumped by Jazmin and Marissa.
Chloe met Bernie at a park for the decision. However, rather than hearing a spiel from Bernie about how he wanted to be with Chloe, viewers saw Chloe take the floor and tell Bernie she wanted to pursue a future with him.
The new couple sealed their fate with a kiss, with Chloe telling the camera that she was feeling “over the moon.”

Are Chloe and Bernie still together in real life?
Nope! Bernie and Chloe continued to see each other after the Final Decision, but he dumped her one night before the Reunion.
“Bernie and I have been getting to know each other for the past couple of weeks,” Chloe explained.
“Bernie took us on a weekend to the Blue Mountains, things were going really, really, really well. But, last night Bernie told me that he didn’t want to continue pursuing me.
I was told that Bernie didn’t want to continue seeing me because we have different senses of humour.
The rest of the cast ripped into Bernie for his treatment of Jazmin and Marissa. To wrap it all up in a tight little bow, Bernie unofficially became the villain of Love Triangle 2025. Move over, Mike Gunner.
