The Bachelor: Jimmy Nicholson takes a dig at Brooke Blurton and Darvid Garayeli

The Bachelor’s Jimmy Nicholson reveals the fatal flaw in Brooke Blurton and Darvid Garayeli’s doomed relationship – and why he and Holly Kingston will go the distance


The Bachelor’s Jimmy Nicholson has taken a thinly veiled swipe at Bachelorette couple Brooke Blurton and Darvid Garayeli following their recent split.

The airline pilot, 32, said on Thursday his relationship with winning contestant Holly Kingston was always on firmer ground than their Bachelorette counterparts, and they never had to exaggerate their happiness like some reality TV couples.

‘If Brooke and Darvid didn’t work out, that sucks for them, but I was conscious of the fact I wasn’t going to call Holly my life partner if I didn’t see her as that just to keep everyone happy,’ he told The Daily Telegraph.

Didn't last: Brooke and Darvid confirmed their split earlier this month. Viewers had watched them declare their love for each other on The Bachelorette just a month earlier (pictured during the finale)

‘We have been really true the whole time and I think that is maybe where people get it wrong,’ he added.

Jimmy also issued a stern warning to future Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants, advising them not to jump the gun when it comes to public declarations of love.

‘If you are not sure as s**t you are going to be with that person, don’t tell the world that you’ve found your life partner,’ he said.

In contrast to Holly and Jimmy’s more low-key romance, Brooke and Darvid enthusiastically referred to each other as ‘my person’ and ‘my life partner’ after the Bachelorette finale – only to break up weeks later. 

In an interview with Mamamia late last year, Brooke said of Darvid: ‘I definitely have found my person and I’m definitely really happy.’

And after the finale aired in December, Darvid wrote on Instagram: ‘I can’t believe I found my person.

‘When I entered this experience I can honestly say I had no idea what to expect.

‘I’ve come out of this with my life partner and she’s so much more than I could have ever envisioned.’

The pair ended up calling time on their relationship just five weeks later and have now blocked each other on Instagram.
