Lana was tipped to be the next Bachelorette. Then she threw a spanner in the works.

Hmmmm.

I think this what you call quite a significant spanner.

Lana Jeavons-Fellows, also known as runner-up to Sam Wood‘s heart and the one widely, widely, wideeeeeeely tipped to be the next Bachelorette has announced she has, um, a boyfriend.

Because there’s nothing like a good whack of monogamy to set fire to the next season of the Bachelorette and burn our hopes and dreams while it’s up in flames.

And if you’re trying to console yourself by telling yourself it’s a new relationship and maybe, just maybe, she’s trying to throw us off the scent, take a seat. They’ve been together for seven months.

Seven months.

In a new and exclusive interview with NW magazine hitting stands on Monday, the 28-year-old announces her relationship with 35-year-old entrepreneur Jake Meah, saying that the couple are already talking about marriage and having children.

“We talk about it freely,” she told the magazine.

“I sent him a picture the other day of someone’s wedding photo, but ours would be much less conventional. I’m not a big-white-puffy-dress girl.”

According to the Daily Mail, the duo met before Lana graced our screens on The Bachelor last year, but weren’t able to forge much of a relationship after Jake temporarily relocated to London for business.

And so now we’re really confused. Because even in announcing her new relationship, the reality TV star also posted this to Instagram just last night:

What does it all mean?!?!?!?!?!

Will she still appear on our screens and forget about this boy? Is she playing hard to get with us? Will she just embrace polyamory and do both at the same time?

I, for one, don’t understand. And think that we better start placing our bets on someone else for the next season.

…Laurina?
