This article contains spoilers for the Bachelor in Paradise season 10 finale.
The sun has set on Bachelor in Paradise season 10.
During the September 2 finale, the audience was treated to a lot of excitement. After Kathy Stewart and Keith Gordon departed Costa Rica as friends, Jeremy Simon and Bailey Taylor Brown were eliminated as a couple. The competition then came down to the final three pairs: Dale Moss and Kat Izzo, Spencer Conley and Jess Edwards, and Andrew Spencer and Alexe Godin.
Andrew and Alexe moved on to the final round of ‘Paradise’ following their victory in the “weight-of-the-world” relationship challenge. Conversely, the outcomes of Spencer and Jess, together with Kat and Dale, hung in the balance as their fellow ‘Paradise’ cast members determined if another pair would advance to the last stage for a chance to win $250,000.
However, just prior to the votes being tallied, cast member Sean McLaughlin made an explosive allegation about Kat and her former relationship. He stated, “When we arrived at ‘Bachelor in Paradise’, finding love was never part of Kat’s plan. In reality, she hid a laptop and began writing him love letters. You said this would be for your career and you’re here to create drama.
In her own words, Kat admitted that Sean had significantly misrepresented the situation, and she felt the need to clear up her actions. She clarified that although she was not exclusive with anyone at the time, she had a prior relationship with her ex-partner. However, she emphasized that she wasn’t communicating with him during the competition, as she didn’t have her phone with her. Dale and Kat stayed together throughout the contest but were eliminated, allowing Spencer and Jess to advance alongside Alexe and Andrew to the final round.
In their final relationship test, each individual was faced with a dilemma: They could either grab $250,000 and walk away alone, or decline the money and depart as a couple. If both opted for the money, they’d leave empty-handed. On the contrary, if only one chose love, that person would be left with nothing.
In the end, Andrew and Alexe decided to prioritize their relationship over the cash. Yet, they still managed to take home a considerable sum when host Jesse Palmer unexpectedly announced they could pick an envelope containing an undisclosed amount, and they selected one worth $125,000 each.
Alexe compared her luck to hitting the jackpot, saying, ‘It’s as if you win both love and money. What else could one ask for? I genuinely feel like the luckiest girl in the world right now.’
As for Jess and Spencer, they too chose love. With an envelope worth $190,000 in their hands, they also found engagement rings on their fingers to end the season.
Jess was overjoyed, expressing, ‘I have never been so happy in my entire life. I’ve just won the best guy on earth. That man would move mountains for me, I truly believe that. I’m ready to start our life together. We have a good amount of money and a beautiful ring to begin with.'”

Status: Engaged
According to Spencer Conley, who charmed Jenn Tran with his “golden retriever energy” on The Bachelorette, he found a real gem during the 10th season of Bachelor in Paradise. In August 2025, he shared a glimpse of himself with Jess Edwards (who made a bid for Joey Graziadei’s heart on The Bachelor) on his Instagram Stories, hinting that they were developing feelings for each other – a nod to Bachelor lingo that suggests he hadn’t yet declared “I love you.” In essence, Spencer claimed victory in the romance stakes.
From Jess, who posted on her primary platform, “I’m just a little excited about this guy and such.”
Clearly happy, they decided to prioritize their relationship over a $250,000 prize, and after getting engaged, they received an unexpected check worth $190,000.
“Every experience we’ve shared,” Jess stated, “brought us to this very moment.”
Soon, her journey will take her to Dallas, as the show revealed that she is planning to relocate there to be with Spencer.
Status: Dating
Back in August 2025, Bailey Taylor Brown shared on Instagram that her first date with Jeremy Simon during Paradise’s 10th season was her best one. It might have been their last too, but who knows? You remember Bailey, right? She was a contestant vying for Grant Ellis’s heart. As for Jeremy, he came close to winning over Bachelorette Jenn. Their turbulent past seemed to catch up with them when she discovered he had doubts about sending Susie Evans home.
However, their bond intensified in Costa Rica. Although they were eliminated during the Bachelor in Paradise finale, they carried on their relationship off-screen. In fact, the show later disclosed that they’ve met each other’s families and are planning to reside in the same city.
Status: Dating
It appears that the bond between Andrew Spencer (one of Katie Thurston’s suitors) and Alexe Godin (from Grant’s season) has remained exceptionally strong post-show. Just six days after the Chicago-based football player affectionately referred to the pediatric speech therapist as “my love” in an August 2025 Instagram post, she reciprocated the sentiment by calling him “my dear” in her own post.
Despite opting for love over the $250,000 prize during the Bachelor in Paradise finale, they both walked away with $125,000 in cash prizes.
Alexe exclaimed, ‘This is absolutely incredible!’, emphasizing that he was taking more than just money with him – he was taking love, which he deemed as the most significant thing.”
“They are transporting their love to the Windy City, where the series reveals Alexe’s intention to relocate to Chicago with Andrew.

In the finale of “Bachelor in Paradise”, Kat and Dale encountered a challenging situation when Sean McLaughlin accused her of keeping a laptop hidden and writing love letters to an ex during the show. However, Kat, who is a nurse practitioner, vehemently denied any contact with him on the reality television series.
When asked about her past relationship status before entering the show, she stated, “Were me and my ex still involved prior to this? Yes, because I didn’t think I was going to meet anyone here.”
Despite being eliminated before the final test, Kat and Dale’s romance did not wane. The series unveiled that the contestant from Zach Shallcross’ season and the former participant from Clare Crawley’s season continued their relationship post-“Paradise”. They traveled across the U.S together, made plans for the future, such as moving closer, and even discussed building a life together.
In his comment on Kat’s August 2025 Instagram post, Dale stated, “There were challenging moments, but we faced them side by side… and I wouldn’t want to alter anything about that experience.
Status: Just friends—for now
Former contestants Gary Levingston and Leslie Fhima, who was a finalist for Gerry Turner’s affection on The Golden Bachelor, seemed poised for a sparkling future after their elimination from Bachelor in Paradise’s 10th season. In a post-elimination video on social media, they spoke about creating new memories together. However, the woman once inspiring songs by The Prince isn’t entirely certain if she desires to be his romantic partner.
During her August 2025 interview on “Bachelor Happy Hour”, she shared that she and Gary have a close friendship. She admitted that he’s currently one of her best friends. If she ever encounters a problem, she can reach out to him for support. He often helps calm her down, and they are always there for each other. In short, they stand by each other through thick and thin.
Despite the challenge posed by the 2,000-mile distance (she’s stationed in Minnesota and he’s in California), she remains optimistic. “What I do know is that when it comes to any relationship, particularly a romantic one, what truly matters to me is developing friendship first,” she emphasized. “I want to grow old with my dearest friend.

The lead personality of “The Bachelorette,” Kim Buike, formed a musical partnership with Faith Martin, who received Gerry Turner’s first impression rose during his season. Despite being eliminated in the tenth season of “Paradise,” they continued their relationship beyond that point. In August 2025, Faith shared an Instagram video showcasing a hometown date between them in Washington with the retired navy captain.
Faith expressed her admiration saying, ‘The character of this person is simply fantastic,’ after their exit from Paradise,” she exclaimed. Regarding the depth of their bond, Kim remarked that they both feel, “We’ve built a very strong connection already, and we aim to nurture it beyond these walls.
As an ardent fan, I can’t help but share my excitement about Grant’s journey on the Bachelor! Despite him meeting 25 potential love interests on that fateful first night in the mansion, it was Juliana Pasquarosa who truly captured his heart, earning the final rose. Yet, even though their proposal aired on television less than three months ago, the two decided to part ways, leaving us all with heavy hearts.
In a heartfelt post shared on his Instagram Story on June 13th, Grant announced that he and Juliana have chosen to part ways in their relationship. Despite their best efforts and the abundance of love they’ve given each other, after introspective conversations, they realized that they aren’t compatible for the long term.
As a loyal follower of romance, I had the honor of participating in the first season of “The Golden Bachelor.” Although I left Gerry Turner’s season prematurely, fate had other plans. In the premier season of “The Golden Bachelorette,” I presented roses and found my heart’s delight in the form of Chock Chapple. It was a magical moment when he went down on one knee and asked for my hand, leaving me thrilled to announce that we are now engaged.
In simpler terms, Joan expressed during The Golden Bachelorette’s final episode in November 2024 that despite all life’s challenges, there is always hope, even at an advanced age. As they stood in the beautiful Bora Bora, she revealed her feelings, saying, “I’ve waited for this moment in this stunning place to tell you I love you deeply. I want us to share the rest of our lives together – waking up and falling asleep with you.
As a lifestyle connoisseur, I must share a heartbreaking tale from the season finale of “The Bachelorette” back in 2024. The charming Jenn Tran, a beloved figure from “The Bachelor,” seemed to have found her bliss with Devin Strader as her final pick. However, during the “After the Final Rose” special, Jenn confessed that Devin turned cold towards her once the cameras stopped rolling.
During the September 3rd broadcast, Jenn explained to host Jesse Palmer that the man she was involved with had once expressed passionate declarations of love, only to completely disappear and deny any affection the following day. She added that all the pledges he had made to her, along with the love he had professed to provide, seemed to vanish suddenly.
The narrative unfolded further as Devin posted a 13-minute video on Instagram, detailing his perspective and accepting responsibility (taking accountability), while also explaining the reasons behind his decision to end the relationship during a 15-minute phone conversation.
Instead of Jenn asserting that he ended their relationship over a phone call in August, he maintained that she asked him about his concerns and was trying to figure out how to tell her in person rather than over the phone.
He said, “I wasn’t sure about any other options, so I found myself having to tell her right away because she essentially made me take action.
Subsequently, Jenn gracefully moved towards “Dancing With the Stars” and found herself closely connected with her partner Sasha Farber. Despite their elimination in October 2024, they persisted in dancing together until parting ways in 2025.
Status Update: Broke Up
In November 2022, Greg Grippo (a former suitor of Katie Thurston on The Bachelorette the previous year) got together with Victoria Fuller on the eighth season finale of Bachelor in Paradise. They publicly declared their relationship at that time. However, in April 2024, he announced they had ended their relationship.
Before Victoria Fuller and Greg Grippo made their relationship official during the final episode of Bachelor in Paradise’s 8th season, she had already broken off her engagement with fellow cast member Johnny DePhillipo.
Marital Status: Divorced (as of now) – Gerry and Theresa Nist exchanged their vows in a television-broadcasted wedding ceremony held in January 2024, following their engagement during the finale of the premier season of “Golden Bachelor” in November 2023.
However, three months after their nuptials, the couple announced that they were breaking up.
During their interview on Good Morning America with Theresa in April 2024, Gerry stated, “Theresa and I have had many open discussions and carefully examined our circumstances, including our shared living situation. As a result, we’ve reached the mutual decision that it might be best to end our marriage.
They reached a divorce settlement in June 2024, according to court records reviewed by TopMob News.
In April 2025, Gerry disclosed on the ‘Bachelor Happy Hour’ podcast that he had a new girlfriend, and things were progressing positively.
Status: Set to Marry
Tennis pro Joey, after courting 32 potential partners, found his ideal match in project manager Kelsey Anderson. In the finale of March 2024, he declared his love to her, expressing, “I can’t wait another minute to tell you that I love you.” Before proposing, he knelt down and shared, “There is something about you. You have this infectious energy that makes me smile. It’s a feeling I’ve never had before.”
Pictureting his future with the woman from Louisiana, he added, “I’ve known for a while that I’ve wanted to have a wonderful life, but I truly didn’t know how wonderful that life could be until I met you.
As a lifestyle advisor, I’d rephrase it like this:
Though John Henry Spurlock, an underwater welder, and nurse Kat didn’t find a connection until halfway through season nine of ‘Bachelor in Paradise’, they were ready to take a leap. “I’m going to attempt something unique,” he said as he presented an Ascher cut Neil Lane diamond. “Today, I’m following my heart. My heart tells me that you are exceptional, you embody everything I’ve been searching for.”
However, a few days after the season finale, they confessed their paths were diverging due to mismatched career goals. “Although our futures are pointing in different directions,” they wrote jointly on Instagram, “we are thankful for the love and encouragement we’ve received from our families, friends, and Bachelor Nation.
Current Situation: Split
Amid her anxiety over a proposal during Paradise, Eliza Isichei (one of Clayton Echard’s former partners) joyfully accepted Aaron Bryant’s oceanfront marriage proposal. Moved by Aaron’s gesture of contacting her mother for her blessing, she exclaimed, “I knew I wasn’t in control of what words would come out of my mouth.”
The finale’s conclusion acknowledged that Eliza and marketing manager Charity faced some difficulties following their trip to Mexico, and shortly afterward they announced their official separation. On Instagram in December 2023, he expressed, “Navigating complex emotions as I watch it all unfold. We are parting ways amicably, with only positivity and mutual respect for each other.
Status Update: Breakup
Despite postpartum nurse Kylee Russell hoping for a traditional proposal from boyfriend Aven Jones, who apparently planned to propose during his time on ‘The Bachelorette’ with Rachel Recchia, he eventually proposed on ‘Bachelor in Paradise’. However, the engagement dress remained unused as Kylee chose to follow her heart. “I had to do what felt right,” she said, adding that love involves taking risks.
Two days after their finale aired in December 2023, Kylee announced on Instagram Stories that their relationship had ended due to multiple instances of infidelity. Aven later apologized for his mistakes and the pain he caused Kylee, admitting he had hurt someone very dear to him.
Exciting News from a Happy Couple: Engagement and Dancing with the Stars
Charity Lawson recently shared her delight about this year’s turn of events in an interview with TopMob News. However, her August 2023 finale was far from fully capturing the excitement that ensued when integrative medicine specialist Dotun Olubeko got down on one knee and proposed to her. Overwhelmed by emotion, he declared their love as “perfect,” asking Charity if she would help make their fairytale a reality by becoming his wife.
Although the wedding date is yet to be decided between 2025 or 2026, the engaged couple has much to look forward to in the meantime. Charity will first grace the ballroom as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. Dotun couldn’t contain his enthusiasm during The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose and shared the fantastic news with Charity: “Alright, baby,” he said. “You like to have fun, you like to dance, and you love getting down. Remember our conversations about this amazing opportunity? Well, I am thrilled to tell you that you’ve been selected for Dancing With the Stars! Baby, let’s do this!
Status: Married
Zach found his happy ending. Despite some mishaps during Fantasy Suite weeks, Zach Shallcross proposed to travel nurse Kaity Biggar in March 2023. With a heart full of love, he said, “I am so in love with you. You are my world. The love I feel for you is something I could have never imagined.”
In July 2023, the loving couple from Texas took their relationship to the next level by moving in together and sharing the news on Instagram: “Officially living together.
On May 23, 2025, I exchanged vows in what I affectionately referred to as a quaint chapel ceremony. Initially, we had envisioned a grander affair, but upon reflection, I realized that perhaps it wasn’t necessary. As I shared on the June 2025 episode of the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast, “I took a step back and asked myself if we really needed all the bells and whistles.” Ultimately, the essence of our wedding was about preserving the love and connection between us, and I felt that focusing too much on minor details would detract from that.
However, what truly captivated her was a particular aspect – her aunt, who had initially proposed her for the chance to win Zach’s affection, discovered the church in the Austin region where their wedding took place. In regards to this, Kaity expressed, “It was simply ideal.
The status for Danielle Maltby and Michael Allio, who appeared on Bachelor Nation seasons seven and Nick Viall’s season respectively, was once hopeful due to their shared struggles and strong connection. However, a year after Maltby moved from Nashville to Ohio to be with Allio, they announced their separation. Allio expressed his feelings about the split in an episode of Jason Tartick’s podcast, Trading Secrets, stating that despite putting a lot into the relationship, it was unfortunate when things didn’t work out because, although love was present, they found themselves incompatible. He further explained that the end of their relationship meant mourning not only the loss of each other and their friendship, but also the future they had once imagined together.
Brandon Jones publicly declared his eternal love for Serene Russell during their proposal on season seven of Paradise. However, just five months after their engagement was featured, they announced their separation in a joint Instagram post in May 2023. They mentioned that maintaining their relationship privately amidst public scrutiny had been extremely difficult. Despite the pain, they requested no negativity towards each other as there is still genuine love between them.
Relationship Status: On Hold
Rachel’s relationship with general contractor Tino Franco hit a roadblock during their 2022 season, as he was caught kissing another woman. In an appearance on The Viall Files, Tino expressed regret, stating, “I wholeheartedly condemn my actions. It was unacceptable, unfair to Rachel, and the guilt lingers with me every day. I’m deeply ashamed of my behavior and if I could turn back time, I would change it a million times over.
Evolution of Relationship
The story certainly took an interesting turn. Susie Evans initially declined Clayton Echard’s advances during the 2022 finale, but later reconnected with him off-screen…only to part ways again six months down the line.
However, Susie, a videographer based in Los Angeles, maintains that their separation was necessary. In a November 2022 post for her blog “Susie Was Like”, she wrote, “The people around me could see that my sparkle had dimmed, and I was far from flourishing.” She admitted they “had many joyful moments together, but deep within, I was battling and felt out of sync with the best version of myself.
After dating ‘Justin Glaze’, a contestant from Bachelor Nation, Susie eventually parted ways with him in August 2024.
Status: Separated
Minnesota elementary school teacher Michelle received a Neil Lane sparkler from Texas-based sales executive Nayte Olukoya, along with a $200,000 check from producers to help fund their future home. However, the relationship didn’t have a strong enough foundation, and they announced their breakup six months after their season finale aired in December 2021.
In an interview on The Viall Files, Nayte admitted that there were many ups and downs, frequent arguments, and fights, and the couple didn’t seem to see eye-to-eye. He also acknowledged that not having a proper goodbye conversation in person was “a bit unfair.”
Later on, Michelle began dating Jack Leius in 2023, and they announced their engagement the following year. Their wedding took place in Minnesota in June 2025.
The status is that Maurissa Gunn and Riley Christian, who gained widespread support for their shared vision of leisurely Sunday mornings during season seven of BIP, have decided to pursue separate paths. In a joint statement released in January 2022, they announced that despite not anticipating this outcome, personal development has become a priority for both parties. Maurissa, who had a romantic history with Peter Weber, and Riley, one of Tayshia Adams’ suitors, expressed their wish to focus on themselves individually.
Status: Split
On the sixth season of “Bachelor in Paradise”, television’s first same-sex couple exchanged engagement rings, yet they declared their separation in October 2019, marking Halloween as their breakup announcement date.
In their shared Instagram post, they expressed that affection and concern for each other have always been central to their relationship. Their main focus has been doing what’s best for both of them. With hearts heavy yet filled with love, they’ve made the difficult decision to step back from their relationship temporarily. They want what’s truly beneficial for them in the long run, and at this moment, that means growing independently apart.
Current Status: Engaged
In other words: Despite their split during the BIP’s seventh season, Noah Erb and Abigail Heringer couldn’t help but see forever in each other’s eyes. After initially settling in San Diego, they’ve recently purchased a home in Tulsa – his hometown. Abigail shared on Instagram in July 2023, “Getting ready to enter our Chip and Joanna Gaines era because your girl bought her very first house!! Excited for the new chapter and all the memories we’ll create here!”, hinting at wedding plans. Noah proposed to Abigail at a beachfront San Diego home in August 2023, before their move.
As an over-the-moon fan, I can’t help but share my excitement about Serena Pitt and Joe Amabile! These two lovebirds, both known for their reality TV journeys (Serena from Matt James’ season and Joe, the Chicago grocer who stole hearts after Becca Kufrin sent him home in 2018), decided to take a sneak peek at married life. So, they exchanged vows early – right here in New York City, just a stone’s throw from their cozy abode, about a year ago since leaving Paradise hand-in-hand.
And guess what? Serena, now hosting the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast with her beloved husband, enthusiastically posted a video from their October 2022 nuptials, captioning it “JUST MARRIED!!!” She added, “We’re still having our big wedding in September, but who wouldn’t want to tie the knot twice?” What a dreamy start to their love story!
In terms of marital status, Kenny Braasch, a boy band manager, declared his deep affection for Mari Pepin by stating, ‘Mari, I am absolutely smitten by you,’ as he placed a Neil Lane diamond ring on her finger during the 2021 finale of Paradise. ‘And I must confess, I can’t envision my life without you.’ Following this heartfelt moment, Mari, who had previously captured Bachelor Matt’s attention, relocated to Kenny’s hometown of Chicago and began planning their lifelong journey together. Prior to their oceanfront wedding in Puerto Rico, which took place in November 2023 with 65 guests, they solidified their bond even further by getting matching tattoos during a trip to the Bahamas in May 2023.
Status: Married
Becca, a previous participant on The Bachelorette, and Thomas Jacobs, who was a suitor on Katie Thurston’s season, met on Bachelor in Paradise season seven in 2021. They broke up during the show but reconciled after filming ended. In May 2022, they announced their engagement, with Becca taking the lead to propose. She expressed hope that her decision would inspire others to feel empowered to break conventions. Thomas reciprocated the sentiment in October 2022. In September 2023, they welcomed their first child, a son named Benson. Becca shared on Instagram, “Words cannot express the love and awe we have for this little man.” The couple wed just weeks after welcoming Benson, in a surprise ceremony held on October 13.
Status: Split
In the season finale of ‘The Bachelorette’ in 2021, Katie got engaged to Blake Moynes. Their romantic moment happened during an overnight date that included a paintball adventure, a soak in a cowboy tub, and a heart-to-heart conversation under the night sky, where they expressed their love for each other.
With a heartfelt gesture, Blake knelt down and expressed to Katie, “You are worthy of the entire universe. I am thrilled to stand by your side and be there for you each and every day from now on.
Three months following the broadcast of their proposal, the couple declared their separation. They expressed in simultaneous statements, “We’re deeply thankful for the precious moments we shared and the incredible journey we experienced this past year. However, after careful consideration, we found that our lifestyles are not conducive to a lasting partnership as spouses. It is the kindest decision for us to proceed separately.”
Now, she is wed to comedian Jeff Arcuri.
