Laura Byrne has shared how dating a cheating ex left her self-esteem at rock bottom.
The former Bachelor star, 38, who is now happily engaged to Matty 'J' Johnson, 35, revealed that she was left devastated by a man who could not stay faithful.
'My ex was a serial cheater, yet I had taken him back every time' she writes in her new book, We Love Love, as published by Body+Soul Magazine.
'Unsurprisingly, my self-worth was shot to s**t. Even though I wanted better for myself, I was considering giving him another chance because I loved him, and the fear of being on my own was just too great' she went on.
'It took me a long time to come to the sobering realisation that I was the common denominator in my s****y dating choices.
'Learning about attachment styles allowed me to look back on my childhood and my relationship with my parents in order to help me unpack a lot of the junk I was carrying around' she added.
Laura and her radio-co-star Brittany Hockley have penned the upcoming book We Love Love together.
They are best known for their time on their respective seasons of The Bachelor as well as their radio show and podcast of the same name, Life Uncut.
Luckily, Laura found her true love in Matty after that devastating dating experience.
Laura and Matty are one of the most successful couples to come out of The Bachelor, falling in love during the 2017 season.
Matty and Laura share two children together - daughters Marlie-Mae, three, and Lola, two, together.
They got engaged while on holiday in Fiji in April 2018 but are yet to marry.
While Laura has become a radio and podcast star, Matty also hosts a financial podcast called The Penny Drops.
