The Golden Bachelor winner Sunny Long has set tongues wagging after attending a premiere in Sydney on Monday solo.
The 58-year-old made an appearance at the Fallout season two screening without her boyfriend Barry ‘Bear’ Myrden.
Sunny looked stylish at the event in a lace dress, paired with a studded leather jacket and strappy heels.
She held a matching coloured black handbag and was all smiles as she posed on the red carpet.
Sunny pulled her locks back and showed off her youthful skin with a natural makeup palette.
After eight nerve-wracking episodes, Bear found his match on The Golden Bachelor with Sunny during this month’s finale.

But in what could be bad news for his winner, the 61-year-old engineer almost didn’t meet her at all.
Bear quit the Channel Nine show shortly after being cast as the new Golden Bachelor – because he had found love.
And in a surprising twist, it was the Canadian-born Sydneysider who auditioned for the role in the first place.
‘He applied, they liked him instantly, then he pulled out because he’d met someone,’ an insider told Confidential.
The source added that after Bear made his exit before the cameras had a chance to roll, the show’s creators were stuck for a star.
‘But once they saw the rest of the candidates… let’s just say Bear suddenly looked like a rock star, and they lured him back,’ the production insider explained.
According to the source, the other possible bachelors were ‘spectacularly underwhelming’.
Bear is said to be ‘loving all the attention’ the show has brought him.

Woman’s Day revealed Bear was engaged to a millionaire heiress named Jo Kinghorn after his wife Audrey died in 2014, despite claiming on the show he had remained single since becoming a widower.
An insider who attended the couple’s engagement party in 2016 revealed leaked information about their ill-fated romance and said Bear was commonly described as a ‘tosser’ by Kinghorn’s friends.Â
‘Bear spent most of the engagement party showing off in the ski boat Jo bought him,’ the source told Daily Mail.
What’s more, according to the insider, Bear didn’t cough up for Kinghorn’s engagement ring.
‘It should be known that the engagement ring was purchased by the bride-to-be,’ the source claimed.Â
