He is looking for real love
At the end of season one of The Bachelor SA, Lee is likely to propose to one of the 25 women who will appear on the show. He says his life goal is to have an “amazing family and life”.
“I do know that this is an unusual way to find true love, but something deep inside me tells me that the universe is going to give me what I need right now – the woman of my dreams. I can’t wait to meet and get to know the 25 ladies. Chemistry often works in mysterious ways and I have no preconceived ideas about who I want to spend the rest of my life with,” he said in a statement.
