Matthew Johnson, or otherwise affectionately known amongst ‘The Bachelor’ Audience as Matty J, first appeared on national television screens as one of eighteen bachelors on Georgia Love’s season of The Bachelorette.  After the initial heartbreak in his first appearance in the franchise, Johnson reappeared as the leading man in the fifth season of The Bachelor and found his true love, Laura Byrne.

Matty J is well travelled and prior to his appearances on TV, he had a very successful career in marketing which saw him complete a four-year stint in the corporate world in London. He’s also no stranger to being in the limelight having spent a good part of his early 20’s modelling for various brands and appearing in TV commercials. 

Matty is extremely family orientated, moving back from Europe to live in Sydney not long after his sister gave birth to her first child. He's now a proud uncle to two gorgeous kids when George was given a baby sister, Millie, earlier this year.

Anyone who watched the Bachelor franchise will have certainly noticed Matty takes great care of his body, he’s an accomplished athlete, competitive, super fit and seeks out the more extreme forms of sports for fun. His love of the outdoors has earned him a regular guest spot as a travel reporter on Network Ten’s The Living Room. Expect to see more of him on your screens in 2018.
