The Bachelor star Laura Byrne has leaped to the defence of her husband Matty ‘J’ Johnson after he copped backlash for refusing to get a vasectomy.
The couple have two daughters, Marlie-Mae and Lola Ellis, and are expecting their third.
The pregnant reality TV star, 39, revealed on her Life Uncut podcast that Matty, 38, was being called a ‘loser’ and a pussy’ after she asked him to get the snip and he said ‘no’.
‘A lot of assumptions are being made. Matt plays his part in contraception, happy to wear a condom. I am the one who would prefer he doesn’t wear one. I don’t want another baby nor do I want to go on contraception,’ Laura said.
‘If a man is happy to take responsibility for his part in contraception by wearing a condom, let’s not jump to calling him a pussy, a loser because he shares reservations around getting the snip,’ she said.
Despite Laura’s defence of Matt, listeners quickly took to social media to criticise him for not undergoing the procedure.

‘I think Matt’s just given me the ick… sorry Laura. It is the LEAST the man can do,’ one person wrote.
Laura responded and said people shouldn’t be so quick to judge.
‘This is a pretty harsh comment. The LEAST a man can do is wear a condom, which Matt is happy to do. He plays his part in contraception, but I’d prefer him to get the snip because I don’t like condoms,’ she wrote.
‘I don’t have to convince him, it’s an open conversation in our household. In the same way Matt has never forced me into any contraception nor did he force me into having children.
‘Jumping straight to shaming someone who isn’t on board from the second a vasectomy is suggested. Please don’t impose the opinions you hold in your relationship on mine.’
In April, Laura revealed she was pregnant with her third child with Matty – and that it would be their last.
She announced the exciting news on her podcast.
‘It turns out, we’re having baby number three!’ she declared.

Laura then revealed her due date: ‘It is a Christmas miracle.
‘I found out very early on in this pregnancy, not because I had any symptoms but because my friend made a comment that made me do a pregnancy test,’ she explained.
Laura explained she took a pregnancy test while Matty was filming I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in South Africa but did not tell him the news until she was two and a half months pregnant.
‘I wasn’t able to tell Matt for ages. The whole time he was in the jungle, I wasn’t able to tell him,’ she explained.
Matty also made an announcement on his Two Doting Dads podcast, telling listeners: ‘We were trying before I went into the jungle. The plan was, we said 2025, if we were going to have a third, this will be the year it happens.’
After getting engaged in Fiji in April 2018, Laura and Matty finally tied the knot on the south coast in November 2022, five years after meeting on The Bachelor.
They are one of the most successful couples to come out of the show and welcomed their daughter Marlie-Mae in 2019, followed by Lola in February 2021.
