Abbie Chatfield has defended her new Peking Duk frontman boyfriend Adam Hyde after fans expressed concerns that he’s ‘love bombing her’ for publicity.
The Bachelor star, 28, replied to a TikTok follower this week who commented, ‘He’s love bombing you. look out’, after Abbie admitted Adam had paid for her IUD contraceptive device to be inserted.
Love bombing is when a love interest showers you with romantic gestures, artfully painting a picture of the beautiful future they intend to share with you, often when you’ve only known them weeks or even days.
They make you feel like all your romantic dreams have come true, when the devastating truth is you’re being swept off your feet by an arch manipulator.
Abbie insisted this was not happening to her, saying in her reply video: ‘I’ve known him for two years. I’ve been seeing him on and off throughout those two years.

‘I’ve been friends during those two years and we’ve been kind of back on for about six months now, officially dating again for like, three months.
‘I know this man, and him paying for an IUD is not love bombing. That is a considerate man who knows his role in contraception and is considerate of me.’
Abbie also hit back at a comment which read: ‘PR move of the century. This guy knows what he’s doing’.
She replied directly, writing: ‘I was listening to his music when I was 20 years old lmao’.

Last week, Abbie officially confirmed her new boyfriend’s identity on her podcast after they were hit by romance rumours with a string of cosy posts.
She opened up about their relationship and described their first date as the ‘best’ of her life as they gave an insight into their early days of dating.
‘I was so anxious, I was like ‘I don’t know if I have enough things talk to this person about’. But we had this really good date, and it was actually still the best date of my life,’ she said.
Adam agreed, adding: ‘It was incredible. It was like something out of a fairytale.’
Abbie then explained that her crush on Adam only developed more and more as she spent more time with him, before she opened up about their ‘crazy’ sex life.

‘Then we had sex for the first time, and it was fine,’ she said, before recalling a cosy meeting they had not long afterwards.
‘We sat by the pool and drank margaritas… and the sex went crazy.’
Abbie gushed that Adam makes her feel ‘safe and calm all the time’ and described their relationship as ‘so good and perfect’.
‘Not only are we so in love, but we also have a really healthy relationship,’ she added.
It comes after Abbie opened up about her sex life with her new boyfriend in a candid and wide-ranging chat on her It’s A Lot podcast.

She appeared on the bonus ‘Ask Me Anything’ episode’ with Adam as they discussed their budding romance, after publicly confirming their romance earlier in the week.
As the new couple fielded questions about their bond, musician Adam cheekily boasted about the couple’s sizzling chemistry.
He then made a very X-rated confession as he told listeners how they would make ‘the best sex tape you’ve ever seen’, prompting Abbie to agree with his racy remark.
Abbie has previously spoken about being in open relationships, but told her fans that she and Adam are monogamous.
She explained that she ‘sobbed’ to her therapist because she didn’t feel ‘strong enough’ to be in an open relationship again.
‘I was scared to tell you,’ she confessed to Adam.
‘Because I thought you were going to say that you wanted to be open, that you needed to be because you’re a rock and roll DJ.
‘I thought you were going to go, “baby, I tour, you don’t get it, I tour”.’
Adam then shared of their relationship: ‘I think we’re more monogamous than we originally thought.’
‘But… we’re open to having that conversation down the line,’ he added.
Abbie was previously in a ‘non-monogamous’ relationship with her ex-boyfriend and Bachelorette contestant Konrad Bień-Stephen.
