Abbie Chatfield has revealed she slept with someone else while in an open relationship with boyfriend Konrad Bien-Stephen.
The Bachie season seven runner-up first went public with Konrad, one of Brooke Blurton’s Bachelorette suitors, in November, though they waited until February to reveal they’re in an open relationship.
Speaking on her It’s A Lot podcast this week, Abbie revealed she had sex with someone other than Konrad for the first time during their open relationship.
Abbie said she slept with someone on the night of the Logie Awards.

“I mean, it was nice. That’s all I’m going to say. Anyway moving on, I’m not going to give anymore details because I’m panicked.”
It comes a week after Abbie confessed she and Konrad hadn’t had sex for three-and-a-half weeks.
“We’ve only had one night together where I’m not working or we’re not away from each other, and that was last night,” she said.
“But I’ve also not really been masturbating either. I’ve been having a really hard time with libido. I was talking to my therapist because I was like, ‘Oh my god, does that mean I don’t actually have feelings for Konrad?’ Which I do obviously!”
Abbie admitted on her podcast that she’s struggling with her libido.

“It’s not Konrad, it’s like I can’t be f–ked [having sex]. And also my UTI issues, I’m like, ‘I really can’t be bothered with this. I don’t have time to have a UTI [urinary tract infection],” she said.
Abbie initially revealed in February that her relationship with Konrad has a “different structure” than traditional couples.
“Mummy and daddy aren’t breaking up,” she said on her podcast. “We’re just having a different structure to our relationship. So we’re open. We’re in an open relationship which we love.”
Konrad revealed that he hadn’t been in an open relationship before, but admitted it’s something he wants to “explore and navigate”.
“Someone we met on the weekend actually gave us some good tips, some pointers,” he said.
“[They said to] go to see a sex therapist, talk about what your boundaries are. Because it’s not like you should go sleep with anyone.”
Abbie responded: “Yeah there are rules. You can still cheat on each other.”
“That’s the stuff I want to navigate and I want to learn because I feel like there’s so much more to a relationship than just sex,” Konrad added.
Abbie said she and Konrad have received judgement from people over their non-traditional relationship.

“I was freaking out because I’d never been in an open relationship before,” Konrad admitted.
Abbie went on to reveal that they’ve received judgement from their peers and that people assume Konrad is “forcing” her into an open relationship.
“People think we’re doing it because one of us is forcing the other which isn’t true,” Abbie said.
Abbie and Konrad went public with their open relationship in February.
(Image: Instagram)“I’ve been in open things before and I’ve also never, ever valued monogamy, not that I’ve cheated.”
“For me, someone f–king someone else, I don’t care. I’ve tried to care. I care about the lying and I care about getting STIs because of the lying, but I don’t care about someone’s genitals going in someone else’s genitals.”
“Some people say ‘it’s because you’ve been cheated on so much you think it’s all you’re worth’ and I’m like, it’s my kink.”
Abbie and Konrad met while Brooke Blurton’s season of The Bachelorette was still airing, and went public with their romance prior to the finale, which cause a fallout between the former besties.
Brooke claimed Abbie displayed “white privilege” for revealing her new beau before the final episode aired, which Abbie has since publicly apologised for.
