Ryan Jones - Bachelorette Australia - Season 3 - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Ryan
Age: 26
Occupation: Construction Foreman
State: NSW

Spontaneous and charming, ex-rugby player Ryan loves living life to the fullest. The New Zealand-born tradie is always the last to leave the party and describes himself as picky. Now willing to settle, he is looking for a partner who is cheeky, caring and understands the complexity of the way he thinks.

Describe yourself in five words.
“Charismatic, spontaneous, caring, loving and confident.”

Have you ever had your heart broken?
“I’ve had my heart broken. I don’t think you’ve lived if you haven’t. Seeing someone else’s heart break is also never an easy thing to experience.”

What would cause you to clash with the other men in the house?
"My need to be in charge.”

Describe your dream date.
“Driving off into the sunset in my dream car – a Corvette Stingray 1972 – followed by an intimate setting, a crate of vinyl records, a sound system, great wine and great conversation. I’m a simple man.”

Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?
“I try not to think too far ahead but I set myself goals as I think everyone does. I’d like to have travelled, have my own place and be running my own bar or restaurant, hopefully with a couple of kids running around and a beautiful and loving wife.”

Dubious connections! Bachelorette suitor Ryan Jones' surprising link to Daniel Taylor, the son of Kings Cross identity John Ibrahim

According to this week's Woman's Day magazine, the construction foreman has links to notorious King Cross personality John Ibrahim via a friendship with his son.

The publication reported that although Ryan hasn't committed any crimes himself, he has forged a friendship with the nightclub identity's son, Daniel Taylor, who was recently arrested.

The former rugby player also grew up with ex-Bachelorette star Jake Ellis, who took part in Georgia Love's season of the franchise.

Also in his friendship circle is Lisa Hyde, who was runner-up next to Sam Frost as they tried to win Blake Garvey's love in season two of The Bachelor.
