Beauty And The Geek is probably one of the most wholesome shows on Aussie TV, but what happens to the cast after filming wraps? We’re catching up with the 2021 beauies and geeks to see where they are today.
WATCH: BATG’s Lachlan & Keira on the 2022 TV WEEK Logie Awards Red Carpet
In case you missed it, Lachlan Mansell and Kiera Johnstone won the 2021 season and multiple couples walked away from the show with romantic connections.
Sadly most of the romances didn’t last, but that’s not always a bad thing, as Lachy revealed going on the show had a huge impact on the geeks’ love lives.
“I have been inundated, I’ve got lots of girls sliding into my DMs. I’ve been on quite a few dates which has been really good, so just having fun,” he told us at the TV WEEK Logie Awards.
The beauties and geeks also remained close friends after the season aired, Kiera confirming: “Everyone’s got a really good friendship and I think that’s the nature of the show… you form those really nice friendships that last forever.”
So what are they and the other fan-favourite contestants up to today? And more importantly, did the geeks stick to their makeovers? Keep scrolling to find out.

Lachlan Mansell
Lachy has made some big moves since winning the 2021 season, from nabbing a job on the Kyle and Jackie O radio show, to going on plenty of dates and keeping up his motosports commentating.
Celebrating how his life had changed since the show, Lachy wrote on Instagram: “What was initially a very temporary appearance off the back of my @batg exploits has turned into a much longer-term role, and something that certainly wasn’t on my radar at the start of 2021.
“As well as being an amazing professional opportunity, it’s also contributed to the (very positive) transformation of my social life. Thanks guys!”
Kiera Johnstone
After taking out the win in 2021, Kiera’s life just got better – she nabbed herself a boyfriend shortly after filming wrapped and has been looking happier than ever on Instagram.
She told TV WEEK in June: “I’ve got a boyfriend now, I met him right before the show aired!”
She and Lachy have remained close, even attending the 2022 TV WEEK Logie Awards together, and she’s still got plenty of friendships from the show.
James Letheby
Cosplay fanatic James is still dressing up as his favourite pop culture characters these days, but he also gets dressed up for fancy media events too.
He was recenty spotted at the TV WEEK Logie Awards afterparties and a few red carpets, so he seems to be doing quite well for himself.
Though he split from Jess after the show aired, we’re sure he has plenty of dates lined up these days – just look how dapper he is!
Jessica Heatley
This journalist-turned-influencer still puts her degree to good use reporting for the Hit Network over at Triple M Cairns, but you’re more likely to spot her promoting cute Seafolly bikinis like this one on Instagram.
After all, she’s still a beauty – but a taken one these days; she has a new boyfriend after splitting from James in 2021.
George Goldfeder
George may have split from Josie after the show wrapped, but he’s clearly stayed committed to his workout routine.
The buff geek has also stayed close with plenty of the guys from the season, sharing cute reunion snaps from time to time.
Josie Werner
Josie, is that you?! This beauty underwent a glam makeover after her appearance on the show and is now looking all loved up with a new man too.
Her life really does just keep getting better.
Jackson Palmer
Can the real Jackson please stand up?
This young geek turned into a total indie dreamboat after his stint on the show and looks more popular than ever if the adoring comments from fans on his Instagram posts are anything to go by.
Eliza Sowada
What has Eliza been up to? She’s looking fitter than ever since her time on BATG and we need to know her workout routine stat, because her body looks amazing.
These days her life is about bikini photos and “good vibes only” and honestly we’re not complaining.
Frank Liu-Fu
There’s no stopping Frank since his first taste of reality TV on BATG; he’s since worked as the official doctor on Ninja Warrior and we wouldn’t be surprised to see him pop up on another show again in the future.
Fortunately he’s ditched some of the WWE outfits (though not this shit) and looks very well put-together these days.
Ashleigh Thomason
She was always a little bit of a geek herself and now it looks like Ashleigh has gone full Disney princess, working as a performer at Tokyo Disney Resort in Japan.
Photos on her Instagram page show her posing around the park and even dressed in character.
Mitchell Berryman
These days Mitch dedicates his time to creating gaming videos online, sharing his geeky passions with plenty of adoring fans.
He’s also kept up with some of the grooming tips he got on the show and knows how to dress to the nines for events with pals.
Bryanna Reynolds
Bryanna clearly loved her first taste of TV and has gone on to become ared carpet reporter, interviewing A-list stars at plenty of exciting premieres – and if the look on her face is anything to go by, she’s loving it!
She and Kiran split shortly after the show aired and she’s still loving the single life today.
Kiran Rao
Lawyer and film buff Kiran is looking and feeling good these days – and he has found love!
The sweet geek met his match in girlfriend Louise Childs, who shares some of his nerdy passions and is just as smitten with him as he is with her.

Looking good Leticia! This stunner is still great mates with plenty of the beauties from her season, especially those located near her in Melbourne.
