There’s a very special guest at our photo shoot with Osher Günsberg. She’s the woman he credits with bringing him a sense of completion and joy he’d never dreamt of – a wonderful marriage, his stepdaughter Georgia, and newborn son Wolfgang, or Wolfie, as he’s affectionately nicknamed. She’s the woman who delivered him the happily ever after that he himself has been tasked with helping contestants on The Bachelor find since being appointed host in 2013.
That woman is his hair and makeup artist and long-time friend Carla Mico, or Cupid, as Osher jokes she likes to be called now. The pair have worked together regularly since the late 1990s when Osher – then going by Andrew G – was a music presenter on Channel [V]. However, when the 2014 series of The Bachelor was due to start filming, Carla was booked on another job. Don’t worry, she told Osher, she had found the perfect person to step in. “She’s lovely, she has a kid and you’re welcome,” Carla said to her friend – who had been busy bemoaning his single status – with a wink.
And so Audrey Griffen entered his world, a meeting that would change Osher’s life irrevocably and for which, he once again tells Carla, he’s “incredibly grateful”.
“Well, I did want Wolfie to be named after me,” she laughs of her bragging rights for this fateful introduction.
“Yes, she kept saying, ‘Carlos is a great name,’” Osher, 45, returns with a laugh of his own.
