The premiere for The Golden Bachelor is just around the corner and we’re all a bit excited to see a different kind of love story play out on our screens, as widower Barry ‘Bear’ Myrden enters a new chapter of his love life.
Among the 20 women vying for his heart, there’s one familiar face: Laura Junner, a 64-year-old primary school teacher, and the mother of well-known Bachie star, podcaster, and influencer Abbie Chatfield.
Abbie first rose to fame on Matt Agnew’s season of The Bachelor in 2019, coming in as runner-up. She went on to launch a successful podcast career and is now one of Australia’s most well-known influencers.
So will Laura follow in her daughter’s footsteps and find her own love story? We can’t wait to find out.
Here’s everything we know about The Golden Bachelor’s Laura Junner
Laura resides in Queensland and is described as a ‘true pocket rocket with a heart of gold’. She’s been married twice and is ready to embrace life with a special someone by her side.
Saying her proudest achievement to date is her ‘two beautiful daughters’ (Abbie and Jolie) Laura said she applied for The Bachelor because it’s ‘definitely her time’. Laura said she’s looking for an emotionally present and kind partner.
With one daughter in the limelight, Laura isn’t a complete stranger to the Bachie world, and often appears on some of Abbie’s social media content. Plus, she had a brief cameo on Abbie’s season of The Bachelor, where she met Matt Agnew during hometown visits and politely sipped wine while he contemplated brutally dumping her daughter at the end of the show.
