Carrie Bickmore and Lee Elliott made headlines in July after it was rumoured the pair were getting to know each other romantically.
Both coming out of long-term relationships and well-adapted to the spotlight, Carrie, 44, and Lee, 44, appeared to be the perfect match on paper.
However, just two months later, it is being reported that the pair’s brief romance is fizzling out.
Sources close to Lee told New Idea the pair had been keeping things very casual over the past few months and were ‘always on borrowed time’.
‘I think everyone caught wind of this at its early stages, which was around the time his friends and family stepped in,’ the insider revealed.
Lee hasn’t met any of Carrie’s children, the source also said.

Lee only parted ways with his wife of four years, Georgia Love, whom he met on hit reality series The Bachelorette, in February this year, prompting his loved ones to warn him against entering another high-profile relationship.
Questioning whether they had much in common, one source told the publication: ‘It was fun but they had very different priorities.’
‘Lee knows there’s an expiry date on playing the bachelor but for now, he’s not tied down and Carrie seems just fine with that too.’
Carrie and Lee’s romance was first reported by Woman’s Day, who alleged that the reality star had been spending a lot of time at Carrie’s home.
The publication claimed the pair were introduced by mutual friends and the relationship was ‘heating up quickly’.
‘They’ve been trying hard to keep things under wraps. But there’s definitely something romantic going on. They’re a beautiful couple!’ a source allegedly told the magazine.
Romance rumours were further fuelled when Lee liked Carrie’s Instagram post, which showed her at the 2025 Logies in August.
In the images, the radio host flaunted her slim figure in a glamorous gold dress as she posed at The Star.
