Former Bachelor star Rachael Arahill debuts sophisticated bob haircut

‘Can’t believe I wasted all these years with long hair!’ Former Bachelor star Rachael Arahill debuts sophisticated bob cut after trimming her long locks

She’s kept a low profile since her controversial stint on The Bachelor last year. 

But this week, Rachael Arahill returned to the spotlight after getting a brand new hairstyle.

The 25-year-old has cut off her long locks and is now sporting a sophisticated shoulder-length bob.

‘Can’t believe I wasted all these years with long hair,’ she wrote on Instagram.

‘Short hair is so easy. An absolute vibe, if you will.’

The blonde beauty’s striking new look comes after she tragically split with her former Bachelor co-star Vakoo Kauapirura.

The genetically-blessed duo sparked a sizzling romance after their time on the Channel 10 reality series last year.

In an Instagram post last month, the personal trainer confirmed that she now has a boyfriend.

She wrote in the caption: ‘My bf said I haven’t posted in a while so I forced him to take a photo of me. Thanks babe… you’re doing amazing sweetie x.’

A curious fan commented on the post: ‘What happened to Vakoo?’

The reality TV star wrote back: ‘Tried the V… wasn’t that into it went back to the D. Haven’t strayed since. xx.’

Rachael and Vakoo starred in season seven of The Bachelor vying for the heart of astrophysicist Matt Agnew.

They made headlines when they were spotted kissing outside a Sydney restaurant back in August.

That same month Vakoo confessed to KIIS FM’s Kyle & Jackie O Show that she had pursued Rachael while they were on the hit reality dating show, before eventually winning her over.

‘So I would actually always try to get her to kiss me in the house, but she would never do it,’ she said.

But their relationship appeared to have fizzled weeks later when they were spotted in a dramatic confrontation at a restaurant in Sydney, back in September.

It seems the ladies have decided they are better suited as friends, after Rachael and Vakoo caught up with their friend and Bachelor winner Chelsie McLeod in Melbourne last year.
