Jarrod Woodgate, former star of The Bachelorette, exchanges vows with fiancée Kristy Love in a picturesque countryside wedding at Victoria’s Yarra Valley.

Intimate Ceremony Details

The 39-year-old groom and his bride arrive in a vintage Cadillac for the intimate event at the quaint chapel on the Stones of the Yarra Valley estate. Seventy-five guests attend the ceremony, followed by a reception at the on-site Barn Restaurant.

Kristy dazzles in a semi-sheer lace wedding gown featuring off-the-shoulder design and pearl accents at the bust. She pairs it with an extra-long flowing veil and matching sheer white lace heels tied with ribbons at the ankles. Her bridal look includes warm natural makeup, soft nude lip gloss, and dark brunette hair in loose curls.

Jarrod looks sharp in a deep blue textured suit, white dress shirt, and tie, accented by an orchid lapel pin that matches Kristy’s bouquet of pink and red blooms.

Emotional Vows and Celebrations

Jarrod sheds tears while reciting his vows during the heartfelt ceremony. The newlyweds pose playfully for photos, sharing kisses and embraces amid stunning floral displays on the grounds.

How They Met and Proposal

The couple first connects when Kristy’s mother attempts to set them up at a concert. Though they like each other, both feel unready for a relationship then. They reconnect later at a party and sense an instant future together.

Jarrod proposes in April 2024, marking a new chapter for the pair.

Life in Darwin and Future Plans

The couple resides in Darwin with their three dogs. Jarrod, a radio presenter, confirms no immediate plans to relocate. “If we have kids, we’ll likely raise them here too,” he shares. “Work and home renovations keep us busy, but sharing it all feels normal and thrilling.”

Jarrod’s Reality TV Past and Health Journey

Jarrod finishes as runner-up on Sophie Monk’s 2017 season of The Bachelorette and appears on Bachelor in Paradise in 2018. He later reveals mental health struggles during filming, stating he “wasn’t mentally fit” and that the experience takes a toll. Producers overlook these issues in casting, he notes.

A 12-year army veteran medically discharged, Jarrod receives diagnoses of PTSD, depression, adjustment disorder, and anxiety. In 2022, he steps back from work to prioritize mental and physical health.

Before Kristy, Jarrod dates Keira Maguire from Bachelor in Paradise season one. Their initial split stems from her Instagram focus; they reunite in January 2019 but part ways for good in August that year.
