When was Charlie Newling on The Bachelorette Australia?
Newling was among several men vying Ali Oetjen's heart on The Bachelorette Australia in 2018.
During his time on the show, he was among the frontrunners, but he ultimately received criticism from fans after he opted not to introduce her to his family until they were "exclusive," according to The Independent.
In the end, she gave her final rose to Taite Radley and they went on to date for two years before parting ways in July 2020.
