Bachelorettes Elly and Becky falling for the same guy!

Could the search for love tear these sisters apart? - by New Idea
  • 28 Sep 2020

The upcoming season of The Bachelorette is breaking new ground as the first season in the franchise’s history to feature two suitors. But the biggest question on everyone’s lips is whether it’s possible that we may see sisters Elly and Becky Miles fall for the same guy.

Elly, 25, who was a fan favourite on Matt Agnew’s season of The Bachelor, admits to New Idea that the siblings “are looking for all the same things” in a future partner.

But the nurse clarifies that although the qualities they value are alike, the sisters created a secret pact prior to signing up for the show together.

Going into the dating show, Elly and her older sister planned to be “open and honest” with each other to ensure there was no double-up of interest in the one guy.

“When it comes to a partner, we’re looking for all the same things in terms of values and honesty. Someone who’s down to earth, positive and respectful – and just a good person at the end of the day,” says Elly. “But we’ve never really gone for the same bloke!”

Meanwhile, Becky, 30, admits that the duo did fancy the same lads on first sight.

“There were a few times where maybe both of us thought someone was cute,” Becky reveals.

“But then one of us would be like, ‘I want to pursue something.’ So when Elly would say that to me, I was like, ‘Yeah go get it, girl!’”

Elly added that she’s never taken a liking to anyone her sister has dated.

“I just automatically put them in the ‘brother basket’ because that’s what they’d be to me. I’d never be like, ‘Oh, I’m going to see if I can get in myself,’” Elly laughs.

“It would never go that way.”

When producers first approached the sisters, who grew up in rural Parkes in NSW, Elly assured her sister it was a genuine opportunity to find “your person”.

But Becky admits a recent heartbreak was what ultimately spurred her on.

Last year, the defence contracting specialist cancelled a planned UK relocation for a guy she’d been dating for a few months.

“Unfortunately, there was lies and cheating, and he wasn’t who I thought he was,” Becky reveals. “It was really sad because I gave up a whole heap of hopes and dreams to make it work.”

“If I hadn’t had my heart broken, I wouldn’t be in Australia and wouldn’t have the chance to be on the show.”

But Becky says that decision set in motion a chain of events that has led her to where she is now.

“If I hadn’t had my heart broken, I wouldn’t be in Australia and wouldn’t have the chance to be on the show.”
