He may not have handed out a single rose yet, but Australia’s new Golden Bachelor Bear Myrden is already raising eyebrows.
The silver fox made his Logies red carpet debut on Sunday night, turning heads as he posed arm-in-arm with a glamorous brunette beauty.
Dressed in a sharp tuxedo, Bear, whose season of The Golden Bachelor is weeks away from its premiere, looked dashing alongside the show’s Supervising Executive producer, Vanessa Oxlad.
The duo appeared close and comfortable as they smiled for cameras.
Meanwhile, Bear was quick to shut down any speculation he’s eyeing women outside the show, addressing wild rumours circulating online that he prefers younger women.
‘That’s rumours,’ he told Daily Mail on the carpet.

Bear insisted he was excited about the journey ahead, admitting it all felt ‘very surreal’.
‘You are our next Golden Bachelor,’ he was reminded.
‘Yes, I am,’ he smiled.
‘You’re on the Logies red carpet. This is very exciting.’
When asked about his date, Samantha Armytage, who is the host of the Channel Nine spin-off, Bear laughed off other rumours there was on-set chemistry between the pair.
‘I thought your date tonight was Sam. Where is she?’ he was asked.
‘She’s busier than I am,’ he replied.
The heartthrob also teased what’s to come this season, promising viewers a heartfelt, emotional journey.

‘All I can say is it was very difficult having to get rid of any of them. They were all beautiful, intelligent, fun. It is one of the toughest things I’ve ever had to do,’ he said of the women.
And while he’s been spotted filming in glamorous locations – including a James Bond–style moment on a yacht – Bear revealed he hasn’t taken much from set.
‘Just a few things, yeah. The wardrobe was sensational,’ he said.
He revealed the sleek tux he wore on the night was his own, quipping: ‘This is mine. Very schmick.’
Despite all the attention, Bear admitted he was still getting used to his new reality TV fame.
‘This is my first red carpet too,’ he confessed.
‘So I’m a bit of a rookie. We’re in this together.’
