I Love You, Erin! Zac's Search For A Soulmate Is Over!

It’s official! The Bachelor is besotted

As they hold hands next to a glistening turquoise swimming pool, there’s no doubt that The Bachelor star Zac Franich and his new TV host girlfriend Erin Simpson are madly, deeply and definitely crazy about each other.

It’s been a whirlwind summer of love for the new couple, but now three months in, it’s getting serious. During an exclusive interview with Woman’s Day at the lavish Te Hihi Estate in Karaka, they confess that they’re ready to take the next step.

“We have decided to move in together,” says Zac, as he beams at Erin. “We haven’t been together that long, but it feels right. It’s been an easy decision as we know how we feel about each other.”

With a smile, Erin adds, “When you know, you know. People used to say that to me and I was like, really? But I totally understand it now. I just feel like the little girl who has found her Prince Charming.”

And if our photo shoot is anything to go by, the smitten pair ooze true regal romance. “I feel so glam,” laughs Erin as she spins in a gorgeous black-and-white ensemble.

The couple admit that the first buzz of love took them by surprise. After all, in November last year, Zac, 29, had only just called time on his five-month romance with his Bachelor winner Viarni Bright. And Erin, 35, was also only just single again herself.

“We originally met at a Sky City event, but we were both there with our respective partners,” explains Erin. “Then we broke up with our partners around the same time and we bumped into each other again. It was just perfect timing. It was like the universe was helping us along.”
