Welcoming Harper Florence Hanly
The couple announced they were expecting a baby in April, one year after Timm proposed to his long-time girlfriend. On Sunday, the 31-year-old Frontrunner designer took to Instagram to share footage from their first interstate holiday as a family. In the clip, Briana is seen taking little Harper for an outdoor walk. “Harper’s first Holiday,” he captioned the snap. Briana then shared footage of her cradling her little girl alongside the words, “This is how weekends go now.”
Relationship Journey
The pair had been dating on and off for six years before Timm appeared on Angie Kent’s season of The Bachelorette in 2019, and later on Bachelor In Paradise. It was in paradise that Timm and Brittany Hockley struck up a romance, and while they left Fiji together to explore things in the ‘real world’, the two split shortly after returning to Australia. Not only did Timm ghost Britt shortly after their exit, but he also confirmed that he had gotten back with Briana while the show was still airing.

Past Relationships and Reality TV Drama
In a chat with Now To Love, Britt confessed that what happened after the show was “a bit unfortunate” and that Timm was “a different person to when he was on the show”. “But when we left I only saw him once for a couple of days and he just didn’t want a relationship. I think he just wanted to be free and he was unprepared to be thrown into the spotlight like he was,” she explained. “So yeah, basically he ghosted me for the last eight months [since filming wrapped]. He treated me poorly when I think about it, but I hold no grudges. He’s in love now, so I just want the best for him.”
Timm’s Struggles with Fame
Timm confessed to Ten Play that the pressure got to him once he left Paradise and things went downhill. “Bachelorette had just finished airing the finale, I was in the public eye and everyone knew who I was, then I was trying to hide this relationship with Britt… I just couldn’t handle it. It was too much for me,” he said. “I came out [of Paradise] to a drinking scene, partying with all my friends because I thought I was a rockstar. You do what any 27-year-old bloke does, go out there and party, live it up.
