In 2015, Sam Wood and Snezana Markoski won The Bachelor… and our hearts. 11 years later, they have a gorgeous family of six.
However, on Sunday October 4th, the former Bachelor was arrested in Noosa and charged with the domestic violence offence of assault occasioning bodily harm and strangulation in a domestic setting.
Sam, 46, was refused bail, and is due to face Maroochydoore Magistrates Court.
Both Sam and Snez shared identical statements to their separate social media profiles.
“Statement from the Wood family. This is a difficult time for all of us, we are working through this as a family and are thoroughly co-operating with the authorities,” it read.
Eve, was nine-years-old when her mum, Snez, met and fell in love with Sam on The Bachelor.
When Sam chose Snez in the romantic last episode, he was more than happy to welcome Eve as well. The two of them relocated from Perth to Melbourne to live with him.
In 2017, Willow Wendy Wood became Australia’s first Bachie baby and a year later, Sam and Snez tied the knot in a stunning Byron Bay wedding attended by their two daughters.
Daughter number three Charlie Lane was born in 2019 and then, in May 2022, Sam and Snez welcomed the sixth member to their family with the birth of Harper Jones Wood.
“I’ve just got this house full of girls, nothing is gonna change. It’s just me and the dog representing the boys. But you know what? It’s such a nice place to come home,” Sam told our sister site Now To Love in 2019.
The couple have also said to have very different parenting styles with Sam being far more strict than Snez.
In an interview with Nine Honey in 2023, Sam said, ”I’m much harder. I think they need discipline… and structure and boundaries.”
The six of them are a very close knit family, but even before Sam and Snez welcomed their three babies to the world and it was just the three of them, they managed to make things work perfectly.
“The one big difference for us was Eve,” Sam told our sister site WHO in 2019.
“[The relationship] needed to be real… We needed to make sure because the stakes were so high. We were, and it turned out to be the best thing we ever did.”
