Bianca Dye is swapping a microphone for roses and cocktail parties on The Golden Bachelor Australia.
Months before the launch show aired on October 20, she was revealed as one of the contestants vying for Barry “Bear” Myrden’s heart.
But this isn’t her first TV rodeo.
Find out what we know about her below.
Who is Bianca Dye?
The Golden Bachelor star is a radio personality who has also been incredibly vocal about her mental health journey.
In 2023, the 51-year-old revealed that she was diagnosed with ADHD.
While she said she did well at school and was later diagnosed with anxiety, she learned more about ADHD in her late 40s.
“I would joke about it. That’s just what people said – ‘You and your ADHD’,” the R U OK? Day ambassador told Q Weekend.
“It’s only in the last two years that I’ve gone, actually, that’s not something to joke about.
“A lot of women aren’t diagnosing themselves because they think, well I wasn’t a naughty kid or running around having tantrums. Women present so differently with ADHD symptoms than men, so you need to be diagnosed as a child and it’s difficult for me because I came from such a split home. No one necessarily got to know me.”
She has also been open about her fertility struggles.
The media personality has spoken about her unsuccessful rounds of IVF, the impact of having endometriosis, and suffering through miscarriages.
“The words ‘I’m sorry but there’s no heartbeat’ are the most traumatic words you will ever hear,” Bianca told Mamamia
At the time, she was with her partner Jay Sandtner and was the stepmother to his daughter.
After their split, Bianca wrote about not being with her anymore for Stellar and her complicated feelings around Mother’s Day.
“I’m no longer the co-parent/stepmum, which is hard,” she penned in 2021.
“I miss that role and that little human who I loved unconditionally. What a true gift stepmum life is. It’s like I got all the fun bits of co-parenting without the stretch marks, nappies or toddler tantrums.”
At the time, she revealed that she had other embryos she had shared with a previous partner.
She is also an ambassador for Aged Care Decisions, which works with families to find residential care and home care providers for those who need it most.
Incredibly close with her mum, Bianca said it was “confronting” to accept that she looked after her.
“My mum has always been very mobile and very self-sufficient, and it has been really confronting to have to have these conversations with her,” she told 9 Honey.
“When you’ve seen that they have been doing things on their own for so long and so capable, and then all of a sudden you realise they’re not, it is a really difficult conversation to have.
“It is and it’s heartbreaking.”
