The Golden Bachelor’s Barry ‘Bear’ Myrden proved to be a hit with the ladies at the 2025 Melbourne Cup carnival on Tuesday.

The reality series’ leading man attended the annual race day looking dapper in a grey pinstriped suit, waist coat and navy blue polka dot tie.

And a line of eager women were seen queuing up at the glitzy event for a chance to meet the silver fox.

An exclusive video taken by Daily Mail showed multiple women dressed in their finest racing attire, waiting in the sun in the hopes of getting a photo with Bear.

One fan even leant in for a cheeky kiss with the 61-year-old TV star before churning out a giant smile as her friend took a picture.

Bear set tongues wagging at the races after admitting to dating multiple women after the death of his late wife.

The Nine star exclusively revealed to Daily Mail that the reality show wasn’t his first attempt at finding love after losing Audrey.

‘I’ve had a few partners since the passing of my wife and we had wonderful times and they were lovely ladies,’ he said.

‘Very nice but it didn’t work out.’

He added: ‘I don’t think I was ready. I believe I was still grieving. And it’s unfortunate, they were absolutely lovely, they were tremendous people, but it didn’t work out.’

News of Bear’s former love interests comes amid reports he was engaged to another woman despite claims he remained single in the wake of his late wife’s passing.

The reality TV star has been portrayed on the dating series as having been single for 14 years after Audrey’s death from cancer.

However, Bear has reportedly had two significant relationships following Audrey’s death in 2012 – and was even engaged to one of the women, Woman’s Day claimed on Monday.

‘Bear was in a six-year relationship with his ex-fiancée… and then had a two-year relationship with another woman after that,’ an insider told the magazine.

However, at least one of the relationships is said to have ended on bad terms, resulting in the woman posting Bear’s photo onto the Sis, Is This Your Man? Facebook group, in which users warn each other about men with dating ‘red flags’.

Meanwhile, Triple M stars Beau, Cat & Woodsy discussed Bear’s love life on Monday, and revealed their shock theory on why he could still be single after they recently interviewed the Canadian-born engineer.

‘He had a look on his face. Like he has picked someone and either she has rejected him or he has rejected her,’ Cat Lynch said.

‘You can tell he hasn’t found what he is looking for. I am saying he has found no one.’

Beau Ryan jumped in to say he had his own reasons for believing Bear was not currently smitten with anyone.

‘I spoke to Matty J, who does the Two Dating Dads podcast, and he interviewed him and yep. We’re saying the bloke’s not in love,’ Beau said.

‘I’m saying he has picked someone but they said, “no”.’
