MEET THE CAST

Note - we have press pack interviews available with the cast below upon request. 

LAWSON (22)

Lawson is loud, funny and relatable, yet he has access to yachts and fast cars! He’s the kind of guy you want to be best friends with, but you can’t help but question his decisions, particularly when it comes to relationships …. once a cheat, always a cheat! Lawson was born and raised in the Eastern Suburbs. He attended the well-renowned private all boys school, The Scots College. His mother is a real estate mogul and his grandparents owned a plethora of bars and property. At 6 ft 2, Lawson is incredibly striking; it’s no wonder he’s signed with a modelling agency. Lawson prides himself on having the personality AND the looks!

MOLLY (23)

Molly is a country girl at heart, having grown up around horses in Scone (NSW). When she’s not partying, she feels most at home in the water and has big ambitions of swimming the English Channel one day. Her friends say that Molly is like “sunshine” when she walks into a room; all eyes are on her. Not only is Molly a natural beauty, but she’s a talented bench jeweller. Following in her mother’s footsteps, she designs and makes her own Jewellery (“Made by Molly”), which has been featured in British Vogue. Molly is a self-confessed flirt, the ultimate YES WOMAN and the life and soul of every party. Her biggest weakness is not being able to say no!

BELLA (23)

Bella doesn’t do things by halves. So much so, that when she found out her ex-boyfriend (Lawson) cheated on her, she burnt his clothes! She’s fiercely loyal but fiercely impulsive; which often gets her into trouble. Although she was born and raised in Sydney, Bella is well travelled having spent a lot of her childhood living in Europe; she lived in Belgium and even attended Cheltenham Ladies’ College in the UK. According to her ex, Lawson, Bella became an “overnight sensation” when she started modelling and content creating for brands on Instagram. Bella best describes herself as “DRAMATIC”. She loves to party but knows she’s a liability on a night out! She frequents in the Eastern Suburbs but her family live on the Northern Beaches, only a FEW houses down from Lawson’s family home!

CHARLIE (22)

Cheeky, chappy Charlie is no stranger to the finer things in life; his father is the owner and head chef of iconic Sydney restaurant, O Bar (a 360 degree revolving restaurant). Charlie is close family friends with celebrity chef Matt Moran. When he’s not working for the family business, Charlie is studying hard for his degree in Hospitality. Charlie is well travelled, having recently spent six months in London working at Soho House. Charlie lives in the affluent suburb of Paddington – a stone’s throw from Bondi where his life revolves around partying and surfing. Charlie has never had a serious relationship and doesn’t intend to have one any time soon; he loves being young, free and single. Charlie’s BFF and partner in crime is Lawson; having grown up together these boys are thick as thieves. Lawson often turns to Charlie with his problems…”but I can’t fix them, I just help him to forget them!”

PIPPA (22)

Pippa lives in the heart of Paddington in her parents' luxury home. She knows that she’s privileged but prides herself in building her own career. Pippa attended a prestigious boarding school with her best friend and fellow cast member, Molly Paradice. She recently went travelling to Italy and fell in love with Italian spirits – which sparked a new career goal of hers! Pippa is unlucky in love. Last year she had her heart broken by her boyfriend who cheated on her. She admits for always going for “assholes!”. She’s on the lookout for a genuine, loyal man.

KAYLA (21)

Kayla is South African but grew up in the Eastern Suburbs; she lives in the affluent suburb of Rose Bay. Due to her South African/Australian accent, lots of people mistake her for being British; “I get called posh all the time!” Kayla attended the prestigious Jewish school, Moriah College in Queens Park (the same school as Emma Pills). When she’s not parting and gossiping with BFF Bella, Kayla is a Personal Trainer and loves to keep active. Kayla is outspoken and unfiltered. She is not afraid of confrontation (admitting she loves it) and will be the first person to call someone out if they do something wrong in her eyes. Kayla is best friends with Bella Salerno, since meeting in Bali they became inseparable and send each other hundreds of messages a day.

EMMA (22)

Emma is the “one percent of the one percent”, she’s the Queen Bee of the Eastern Suburbs and her elite reputation precedes her. Whether it’s by throwing a lavish party in her family’s harbourside mansion or pushing the boundaries with fashion, Emma is always at the centre of every social occasion. Having attended the renowned Jewish school, Moriah College, Emma knows everyone who’s “anyone” in Bondi. As the CEO and face of her own successful jewellery brand Emma Pills (projected to be worth over $1 million) Emma knows what it takes to get to the top – and she won’t let anyone get in her way. However, beneath her bold exterior, Emma is “sweet at heart” and if you are part of her inner circle, she has your back.

PAUL (31)

Paul Versace is Sydney’s hottest new stylist and BFF to Emma Pills. Age seven, Paul would style his mum and sister’s wardrobe. Now he has a huge list of celebrity clients and is a firm favourite at all of the major Fashion Weeks! Paul only came out two years ago, aged 30, and has been on a massive journey to find himself and figure out his type in men… which he has come to realise is “good looking!” Paul admits he falls hard and fast. He goes on three dates, falls in love with them and starts planning the wedding. Paul had his heart broken last year but he’s not slowing down any time soon – in fact, he wants to find a husband this year! Paul is originally from Melbourne and appreciates the finer things in life.

JAI (27)

Jai “lives for the tea.” If there’s gossip to be shared or drama to be seen, she’s front and centre – which often lands her in trouble. As one of eight siblings, Jai is unfiltered and opinionated. Her friends describe her as “chaotic good.” Jai’s mother is an ex Italian supermodel, who loves the finer things in life. Her father was a successful jeweller but now lives a “hippy life” in Byron Bay. She loves blending into both worlds but admits that she’s a “snob at heart!” Jai works as a Creator Agent at Bella Management, representing Influencers and Celebrities. Her style is edgy and cool – she doesn’t feel pressured to flaunt “the scene” and prefers understated antique vintage pieces to loud, branded fashion. Jai is currently single for the first time since she was 14. She’s determined to have fun and stay single for the next two years… but doesn’t trust herself!

ISABELLA (31)

Isabella appeared on the “Made in Chelsea: Sydney”mini-series in 2023. Isabella is the ultimate Bondi IT girl! Good friends with Bondi boys Lachy and Harley, Isabella describes her love life as “completely chaotic”, but she’s waiting for someone to sweep her off her feet. Born in Western Australia, Isabella attended one of Perth’s most affluent private schools on a cello scholarship. She relocated to Sydney in her early 20s. Her long-term goal is to model professionally. Bella went through a painful break up with well-known professional AFL player, Isaac Heeney, at the beginning of 2022.

LACHY (27)

Lachy appeared on the “Made in Chelsea: Sydney” mini series in 2023. Not only does he have the looks, but he has the charm!

Having attended an all-boys private school in Sydney, Lachy then moved to the USA to pursue a career in football where he played at a professional level. He’s now a successful model with an Instagram following of nearly 500k. Lachy is a proud vegan. He likes to think of himself as a gentleman; he’d never “ghost” a girl, he will always be transparent. However, it doesn’t seem to work for him, and his mates point out that he is “un-Lachy in love!”

HARLEY (31)

If there’s a party in the Eastern Suburbs, Harley’s there! This energetic larrikin is living his “best life” in Bondi and has no intention of growing up any time soon. As a self-confessed people-pleaser, Harley often finds himself in a “sticky pickle” when it comes to girls. He’s afraid of hurting people’s feelings and just can’t tell them straight! Harley uses humour to deflect; he says it gets him out of trouble. Working with luxury cars, he’s used to managing big egos and big wealth; something he’s become quite accustomed to. When it comes to girls, Harley is drawn to high-maintenance and drama…”there’s no love without fire!” Harley is good friends with Lachy and Isabella from the Bondi social scene.
