Chloe Reveals Regret After Bernie Affair at Reunion

Love Triangle’s Chloe Hannigan has opened up about her tumultuous journey on the Stan Original dating show, which ended in an unexpected ‘love square’.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia after filming the much-anticipated reunion, Chloe, 25, laid bare her experiences and expressed regret about how one particular aspect of her time on the show unfolded. 

What started as a straightforward journey quickly spiralled into a complex emotional web when Bernie slipped Chloe a secret note, adding another layer to an already complicated situation with matches Beck and Emma.

Chloe admitted she was blindsided by Bernie’s actions, which were surprising given their limited interaction.

‘I was in a love square by the end of it,’ Chloe said.

‘I absolutely did not expect this to happen at all – and even watching the episodes back, seeing Bernie so interested in me from literally day one … I had no idea. It was very shocking.’ 

However, the unexpected development eventually led to reflections on the kind of love she desired.

During the final reunion, Chloe’s secret affair with Bernie was exposed, much to the shock of her co-stars.

‘To me, it wasn’t ever an option that I’d end up with someone other than Beck or Emma,’ she said.

‘I’m very structured and organised, so when things didn’t go to plan, it threw me off.’

The kiss with Bernie may have been spontaneous – but the impact was powerful.

‘He couldn’t keep his hands off me,’ she laughed.

‘But more than that – he made me feel validated and heard. It was the first time I felt that all season.’

Reflecting on the moment, Chloe revealed her biggest regret was not immediately being transparent with Beck and Emma after receiving Bernie’s letter.

‘If I was to do it all again, I think my main difference would be the second I received that letter, I would have sat down with Beck and Emma and been transparent with them about what had occurred,’ Chloe admitted.

Despite the constraints of reality TV production, she feels she should have followed her gut instinct to discuss the situation openly. 

Chloe’s journey on the show was marked by heightened emotions and a rollercoaster of feelings.

She admitted to feeling rejected, shocked, and rushed in her various interactions.

The reunion rekindled these emotions, with Chloe acknowledging the complexity of her experiences, ‘Retrospect is a wonderful thing and unfortunately for me, this is how the cookies crumbled.’

Despite the challenging circumstances, Chloe said she was grateful for the friendships and lessons learned along the way.

The reunion, an explosive mix of shocks and emotions, left audiences with much to ponder regarding relationships and personal growth.

As viewers process the revelations from the reunion, Chloe stood by her decisions, emphasising that her feelings were real and unfiltered.

‘I have no regrets with my decision,’ she affirmed, reflecting on her choice to steer towards authenticity in her journey on and off the screen.
