'They will be over in six months': Bachelorette producer says Ali Oetjen and Taite Radley are heading for a split after he 'went on the show for fame and didn't expect to win'

Ali Oetjen and Taite Radley have portrayed their relationship as picture perfect since The Bachelorette finale aired last Thursday.

But it looks like the couple's romance may not be the fairytale it seems.

A Bachelorette producer told Who magazine on Thursday that Ali, 32, and Taite, 28, will split 'in less than six months'.

According to the anonymous insider, the bank manager only applied to be a contestant because he wanted to be famous. 

Apparently, his long-term plan was to place second in the competition, attract public sympathy and then become next year's Bachelor.

'Mark my words, [the split] will be framed in such a way that Ali ended it and that he is the one who is devastated so he can still try to win public support and get The Bachelor gig,' the source claimed.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Channel 10 and Taite Radley for comment.

After Dee was then cast in Geordie Shore's seventeenth season, which was filmed on the Gold Coast, Taite asked her to help him get back on television.

He texted her: 'I have been looking online, I'd love to apply for a few other [shows].'

When Dee then mentioned Channel 10's Bachelorette franchise, Taite responded: 'I want to apply for that too. How funny would that be?'
