they were spotted spending time with Bear&#8217;s friends in Manly on Saturday to celebrate his birthday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Sunny, 58, showed off her figure in a backless, tight dress as she arrived to the venue arm in arm with her man.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">She completed her chic look with a pair of comfortable gold shoes and wore a straw hat as she chatted to Bear&#8217;s friends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Sunny wore a pearl necklace and held a multicoloured bag as she walked alongside her beau.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Bear,

celebrate his birthday<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">After the fun outing, Sunny and Bear were seen leaving before she dropped him off at his car which was parked five minutes away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The couple were then seen driving separately to his house.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It comes after Bear celebrated his birthday with\u00a0sons Jack and

table.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In another sweet clip, Sunny perched on Bear&#8217;s lap as the couple packed on the PDA, sharing a kiss for the camera.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Fans watched Sunny and Bear\u2019s love story unfold on screens this year, culminating in a tense finale where the infrastructure engineer chose the CEO as his partner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Since then, Sunny has hit back at naysayers who have criticised the way she won the heart of the inaugural Australian Golden Bachelor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Some have said Barry only chose Sunny because she spoke about sex too often, a claim Sunny said is a &#8216;double standard&#8217;, according to Yahoo Lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>
