Everything We Know About Frontrunner Kiki From ‘The Bachelors’

Single mum and frontrunner Kirsten (aka Kiki) is one to watch on this year’s The Bachelors as she competes for the heart of Italian Bachy, Thomas.

According to the 38-year-old’s bio, she enjoys “playing guitar, painting and sculpting” and describes her passions as “nature, equality, love and Jason Momoa.”

Thomas ain’t no Jason Momoa, so let’s hope she compromises on that one.

The real question for Kiki is whether she’ll ever love Thomas as much as she loves the beach. The Queenslander’s Instagram feed has me almost certain that she’s got some beachy ‘Live Laugh Love’ decor lying around somewhere, and I caught at least three ‘hot dogs or legs’ beach pics on her feed. Gotta respect the commitment to the aesthetic.

She’s described as calm and collected but Kiki’s also “known to put people in their place if needed, but in a nice way, with a smile”. Okay Kiki, you’re starting to scare me.

With Kiki’s aggressively beachy aesthetic, artsy hobbies, and philosophy-inspired username, it definitely seems like she is looking for someone who will match her spiritual approach to life.

Her bio says she’s “looking to find her true person, someone who loves and respects her for who she is”. And as for why she’s single, Kiki says, “I value myself and my needs more and so I am much more considered in who I spend my energy on… who I let into my life.”

I’m guessing ‘beach person’ is a non-negotiable.

So what is KiKi looking for in an ideal partner, or, in her words, her ‘true person’? She wants someone “kind, open, honest, fun, intelligent, love a sexy back, kind eyes and knows how to be ‘with’ a woman.”

Look, I get where she’s coming from. She clearly wants someone who is committed to her and who she also finds attractive — who doesn’t? But there’s a lot to unpack in the “knowing how to be with a woman” part. Is that a cheeky reference to the whereabouts of female anatomy? Or is it about her expectations of how men and women should act in a relationship? Unsure.

When asked to compare her love life to a rom-com, she referenced The Holiday where movie producer Arthur tells Iris (Kate Winslet) that movies have a leading lady and a best friend, and Iris was behaving like the best friend. “I’ve definitely been a Kate Winslet, always putting my partner first. I’m the leading lady of my life these days.”

Will she be the leading lady in Thomas’ life? We’ll find out!
