It’s been over a month since Holly Kingston was announced as the winner of this year’s Bachelor Australia, landing the pilot Jimmy Nicholson.
Since the finale aired, the pair have proven more loved-up than ever, sharing sweet insights into their relationship via Instagram, and even moving in together at the end of last month.

It certainly seems like they’ve come a long way since their first ever mansion date. And Holly, for one, agrees, as the marketing manager shared an adorable throwback from that very time in question to compare it to the current state of the couple’s relationship.
Heading to her Instagram stories, Holly posted a side-by-side comparison of her first date with Jimmy and their home-life as it stands.
In the first shot, taken from their time on The Bachelor, Holly donned a black-and-white, polka-dot dress as she rested her head on Jimmy’s shoulder. The pilot, meanwhile, opted for a blue bomber jacket as his arm rested around Holly.
Sparks certainly seemed to fly as the pair snuggled into the lounge, all smiles while they clutched their drinks.
While the second shot had the same central elements – Holly, Jimmy and the lounge – it was vastly different to the first, as noted by Holly herself in the caption.
“Where it all started vs now @jimmynicholson,” the Bachelor alum captioned the post.
“On this first date I had mints tucked into my sleeve and was well spritzed with a fine fragrance, now we’re watching the scenic candlelit @bacheloretteau dates and I have pasta sauce on my pj top and parsley in my teeth.”
Bachelor viewers weren’t surprised when Jimmy declared his love for Holly during the finale, having picked the marketing manager as the winner from the get-go.
Nevertheless, it was heartwarming to watch as the pilot poured his heart out.
“Holly, when I think of a future with you, it’s exciting, it’s fun, it’s passionate,” Jimmy said at the time. You make anything we do incredible and you light up any room you’re in… I can’t wait to experience all of these things with you.”
And since their relationship was made public, they’ve wasted no time experiencing life with each other, just recently documenting their moving in together process on Instagram.
After several weeks of slowly making the leap, Jimmy and Holly revealed they were finally getting settled in their new digs in Bondi at the end of last month.
“We may have had 18+ lovers quarrels and smell like a communal garbage disposal BUT we’re still smiling because we’ve moved in! (Kinda),” Holly penned in an Instagram post.
The couple also documented their first night in their “new pad”, which involved a pizza date on the floor and a lot of unpacking.
