Speaking with New Idea the morning after his historic win, Reuben said he was still in “disbelief” and “ecstatic.”
“It’s slowly starting to sink in. I can’t even put what I’m feeling into words. It’s crazy, I never imagined myself to be here, ever,” he admitted.
Describing his experience on the show as “amazing”, the 2024 winner also revealed that he was so happy with his choice to pick LeeAnn Rimes as his coach.
“Working with LeeAnn, obviously, I was pretty star-struck. She’s an incredible person as well as a singer. We are in touch, hopefully we can catch up again soon.”
Prior to the Grand Finale, fans had shared who they thought would win the competition, and as it turns out, it seems they knew Reuben would win even then!
At the time, Reuben appeared to be the public’s favourite, and many shared they would be voting for the 31-year-old singer from Western Australia.
