Don’t expect Gerry Turner to turn up in paradise.
Although the former contestant from “The Golden Bachelor” is currently single after his split with Theresa Nist, he turned down an opportunity to rejoin the series on the new 10th season of “Bachelor in Paradise,” as per his statement to TMZ.
Gerry, aged 73, mentioned that producers recently approached him about joining a show where past contestants rekindle romances during a tropical vacation, but he declined because he’s already dated all the prominent women featured on the series, and he doesn’t feel a romantic spark with any of them.
Despite announcing his divorce with Theresa, who is 71 and they got married on television in January 2024 only three months ago, Gerry expressed his willingness to make a guest appearance when the shooting starts.
The surprising twist for the BiP series was initially unveiled during the final episode of The Bachelor season 29 on March 24, as host Jesse Palmer disclosed that popular contestants from both The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette would have an opportunity to socialize with other franchise veterans in Mexico.
As a lifestyle expert, I’m thrilled to share that for the very first time, golden men and women will be gracing the paradisiacal shores alongside beloved figures from past seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.
Apart from the earlier mentioned contestants Hakeem Moulton and Jonathan Johnson, Jesse further disclosed that Leslie Fhima from The Golden Bachelor and Gary Levingston from The Golden Bachelorette will also be joining the show. He extended an invitation to Bachelor season 29 star Zoe McGrady as well, who graciously accepted and spoke about her expectations for a suitable partner in the series.
She expressed that she desires a man who recognizes her worth immediately, “because I believe I have much to contribute and plenty of love to share.” She added, “Throughout my journey, I’ve felt like I’ve had to continually prove myself. However, I trust that the right person will recognize my value from the beginning.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase that in a first-person narrative like this: “I, after spending my first night amidst 25 potential romantic prospects in the Bachelor mansion, found myself presenting the final rose to none other than Juliana Pasquarosa. Now, as we plan our upcoming nuptials, I, the groom-to-be, am delighted to share that my bride-to-be, Juliana, has made her top priority for the wedding day clear: it’s all about creating an unforgettable, love-filled experience for both of us and our loved ones.
In a conversation with TopMob News in March 2025, she emphasized that regardless of its location or appearance, the essential aspect is the presence of love and family unity. She also shared that their time together will be enjoyable, irrespective of their activities.
Current Status: Engaged
After starring on the inaugural season of “The Golden Bachelor” and departing from Gerry Turner’s season prematurely, Joan Vassos later took the role as the lead on the premiere season of “The Golden Bachelorette”. It was during this season that she crossed paths with contestant Chock Chapple and the two became engaged.
“We serve as a testament that even when life presents challenges, there is always hope, especially at our stage,” Joan shared on the finale of “The Golden Bachelorette” in November 2024. “I held off expressing my feelings until this moment in this breathtaking location to tell you that I love you, and I wish to spend the rest of my life with you. I long to greet you every morning and share a kiss with you before going to bed at night,” Chock declared as he proposed in Bora Bora.

As a lifestyle expert, I can’t help but reflect on the bittersweet conclusion of season 21 of “The Bachelorette.” It appeared that beloved alum Jenn Tran had found her perfect match in Devin Strader during the final rose ceremony. However, fast-forward to September’s “After the Final Rose” special, and it became clear that the fairy tale ended abruptly as soon as the cameras were turned off, with Devin seemingly giving Jenn the cold shoulder.
During the September 3rd show, Jenn explained to host Jesse Palmer that the man she was involved with would make grand declarations of affection, only for him to disappear and deny any romantic feelings the next day. She added that all the promises he had made about his love for her, as well as the affection he had expressed, seemed to vanish without a trace.
The situation became more complex as Devin posted a 13-minute video on Instagram detailing his perspective of events, which included admitting fault and providing explanations for terminating the relationship during a 15-minute conversation over the phone.
Instead of Jenn accusing him over the phone in August that he ended their relationship, he stated that Jenn was insisting on knowing why things were amiss, while he was trying to figure out how to tell her in person that it wasn’t working out between them.
He admitted that he wasn’t sure about other options, but put it off until he could speak with her face-to-face. Essentially, she made the decision for him.
After that, Jenn strolled towards “Dancing with the Stars” and may have found herself drawn to her dance partner Sasha Farber, given that speculations of a romantic connection between them have persisted ever since their elimination on October 29th.

In November 2022, Greg Grippo – who was among Katie Thurston’s suitors on The Bachelorette the previous year – appeared alongside Victoria Fuller during the finale of Bachelor in Paradise season eight. They declared that they were an item at that time. However, by April 2024, he disclosed that their relationship had ended.
Initially, Victoria Fuller and Johnny DePhillipo were engaged, but before they revealed their relationship on the finale of “Bachelor in Paradise” season 8, they had parted ways.
Status: Divorced
Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist became engaged in November 2023 during the final episode of the premiere season of “Golden Bachelor,” and they officially got married in a live televised wedding ceremony in January 2024.
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, “Through numerous sincere discussions and careful examination of our circumstances, including our living arrangements, we’ve arrived at the shared decision that it might be best for us to end our marriage.
They reached a divorce settlement in June 2024, according to court records reviewed by TopMob News.

After wooing 32 potential partners, tennis player Joey Graziadei finally found his ideal partner in project manager Kelsey Anderson. “I can’t delay any longer to express my love for you,” Joey said to the woman who received his final proposal, during the season finale in March 2024. “There is something about you that captivates me. You have this contagious enthusiasm that makes me happy. It’s a sensation I’ve never experienced before.”
Imagining his future with the woman from Louisiana, he added, “For a while, I knew I wanted to live a beautiful life, but I didn’t truly understand how beautiful it could be until I met you.
The pair, John Henry Spurlock (a suitor of Charity Lawson) and Kat Izzo (who vied for Zach Shallcross’ affection), didn’t hit it off until halfway through season nine of “Bachelor in Paradise”. He decided to take a risk, giving her an Ascher cut Neil Lane diamond and expressing his feelings: “I’m going to try something different today. My heart tells me that you are amazing, you have everything I’ve been searching for.” However, just after the finale, they announced their separation due to their career paths diverging, as they wrote in a joint Instagram post: “Our lives are taking separate roads because our professional aspirations aren’t compatible. We appreciate the love and support we’ve received from our families, friends, and Bachelor Nation.
As a lifestyle advisor, I find myself reflecting on the emotional journey of Eliza Isichei, one of Clayton Echard’s former partners, who recently found herself in a new romantic scenario. Despite her initial apprehensions about the prospect of an engagement in paradise, she gracefully accepted Aaron Bryant’s heartfelt oceanfront proposal. Touched by Aaron’s thoughtful gesture of seeking her mother’s blessing, she couldn’t help but express, “I knew I was beyond my control when it came to the words that tumbled out.”
The post-finale update revealed that Eliza and her partner had experienced a few challenges following their time in Mexico. A few days later, they announced their decision to part ways amicably, choosing to maintain a positive and respectful relationship. On Instagram, December 2023, Eliza shared, “Navigating these emotions has been quite the rollercoaster, but we’re moving forward with nothing but goodwill towards each other.

Nurse Kylee Russell reluctantly agreed to Aven Jones’ proposal on ‘Paradise’, despite his previous unwillingness to propose while courting Bachelorette Rachel Recchia. The decision meant her wedding dress remained unused, but she felt it was necessary to do what she believed was right. “Love is about taking risks,” she said.
Two days after their finale aired in December 2023, Kylee revealed on Instagram Stories that the relationship had ended due to multiple infidelities. Aven later issued an apology, acknowledging his mistakes and the pain he caused Kylee.
Charity Lawson playfully shared with TopMob News her satisfaction with the current season, a sentiment that fell short of her grand August 2023 finale. Dotun Olubeko, an integrative medicine specialist, declared their love to be “flawless,” proposing to the child and family therapist, “Will you consent to transform this fairytale into truth?”
Despite their future wedding plans still undecided between 2025 or 2026, Charity will first embark on a journey through the Dancing With the Stars ballroom. Excitedly, Dotun told Charity on The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose, “Alright, love. I know you enjoy joking around, dancing, and having fun. We’ve discussed this opportunity before, and I am thrilled to announce that you will be appearing on Dancing With the Stars! Let’s do this!

Zach will have his fairy tale conclusion. Despite a few bumps along the way during the Fantasy Suite, Zach Shallcross concluded season 27 in March 2023 on one knee. “I am deeply in love with you,” he expressed to travel nurse Kaity Biggar. “You are my universe. The affection I have for you surpasses anything I could have ever imagined.”
In July 2023, the Texas-based couple took a significant step forward in their relationship, as Kaity posted on Instagram, “Now officially living together.” They’re currently organizing their wedding vows set for October 2025.
The current state: Parted ways.
In simpler terms, after season seven of BIP, Danielle Maltby and Michael Allio, who seemed destined for a Bachelor Nation power couple, parted ways. Despite both relocating (Danielle from Nashville to Ohio) for their relationship, they eventually confirmed the split in September 2023 on Jason Tartick’s Trading Secrets podcast. Michael explained, “We poured a lot into this relationship, and it’s heartbreaking when things don’t work out.” He added, “When relationships end, especially when you realize that love is there but compatibility is lacking, you grieve not only the loss of that person and friend in your life, but also the future you had envisioned together.
Brandon Jones declared his eternal love for Serene Russell during their proposal on season seven of ‘Paradise’. However, just five months later, they announced their separation in a joint statement via Instagram. The couple, who had faced immense challenges due to the public eye, stated that the split was difficult and painful, requesting no hate or negativity from the public.
As a lifestyle advisor, I would rephrase the given text as follows:
In my personal perspective, I, Tino Franco, found myself in a regrettable situation during my engagement to Rachel in 2022. During the airing of our season, I made an unacceptable decision by kissing another woman. This action was not only inconsiderate but also unfair to Rachel. To this day, I am haunted by the guilt and shame that this incident has brought upon me. If given the chance, I would undoubtedly change my actions countless times, as I deeply regret my behavior and the impact it had on Rachel.
The story unfolded as follows: Susie Evans and Bachelor Clayton Echard had a parting of ways, six months after their reunion during the 2022 finale. Despite this split, it seems that the reasons behind it were valid. As Susie herself put it in her November 2022 blog post titled “Susie Was Like”, she noticed that her usual spark was fading and she wasn’t flourishing as she should have been. They shared many happy moments, but deep down, Susie felt troubled and out of alignment with the best version of herself.
After dating Justin Glaze, a contestant from Bachelor Nation, Susie later confirmed that their relationship had ended in August 2024 as well.
In a nutshell: Michelle, an elementary school teacher from Minnesota, received an engagement ring and a $200,000 check for a future home from Nayte Olukoya, a Texas-based sales exec, on a reality show in late 2021. However, after six months, they announced their breakup. In an interview, Nayte admitted that not having the final “split conversation” face-to-face was thoughtless. Later in 2023, Michelle began dating Jack Leius and announced their engagement the following year.
The story revolves around a Minnesota elementary school teacher named Michelle who received an engagement ring and a substantial financial aid from Nayte Olukoya, a Texas businessman, on a reality show in late 2021. Despite this, they called it quits six months later. In a subsequent interview, Nayte confessed that not having the final breakup conversation in person was an insensitive act. Fast forward to 2023, Michelle started dating Jack Leius and announced their engagement the following year.
The dynamic duo from BIP season seven, Maurissa Gunn and Riley Christian, successfully shared their vision of idyllic Sunday mornings with viewers. However, despite the connection, they managed just a few weekend escapades together. In a joint statement issued in January 2022, their patient coordinator Maurissa (who was involved with Peter Weber) and attorney Riley (one of Tayshia Adams’ suitors), revealed that they have chosen to part ways. They never anticipated this turn of events, but they find themselves at a point where they both need time for personal growth.

On the sixth season of “Bachelor in Paradise,” the franchise’s initial same-sex couple announced their engagement, but later confirmed their separation in October 2019.
They shared in a heartfelt post on Instagram that their deep love and concern for each other has always been central to their relationship. However, they have decided, after much thought, it’s in their best interest to step away from the relationship temporarily. This decision was made with a lot of love and consideration for one another. They believe this is what’s needed right now for both of them to grow independently and find what’s best for their long-term future.

In a bit of a twist, it isn’t paradise lost for Noah Erb and Abigail Heringer. Despite ending their relationship during the BIP’s seventh season, they found that they could see an eternity in each other’s eyes. Initially residing in San Diego, the travel nurse (who vied for Tayshia’s affection) and the financial manager (who received Matt James’ first impression rose) recently purchased a property in his hometown of Tulsa.
“Preparing to embark on our Chip and Joanna Gaines era as your girl bought her very first house!!!” Abigail announced on Instagram in July 2023. “Eagerly anticipating the start of our next chapter and all the memories we’ll make here!!” Their plans include a few wedding details. Prior to their relocation, Noah popped the question at a San Diego beachfront home in August 2023.
Serena Pitt and Joe Amabile, both known from different seasons of ‘The Bachelor’, decided to go ahead and get legally married at City Hall in New York City, almost a year after leaving ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ as an engaged couple. They plan to have a formal wedding ceremony in September 2023 as well. Serena, who now co-hosts the ‘Bachelor Happy Hour’ podcast with her husband, announced their quickie marriage on an October 2022 video post. “We are married!”, she wrote, adding, “Who doesn’t want to get married twice!
Kenny Braasch, a well-known boy band manager, expressed his deep affection for Mari Pepin as he placed a Neil Lane diamond ring on her finger during the finale of Paradise in 2021. “I am absolutely head over heels in love with you,” said Kenny. “I can’t imagine my life without you.” Following their appearance on the show, Matt’s initial charm towards Mari led her to move from Maryland to Chicago where she and Kenny began planning their future together. Before their wedding in a 65-guest oceanfront ceremony in Puerto Rico in November 2023, they made their bond permanent by getting matching tattoos during a trip to the Bahamas in May 2023.

Previously on “Bachelor in Paradise” season seven (2021), Becca Kufrin and Thomas Jacobs, one of Katie Thurston’s suitors, formed a relationship. They split during the show but rekindled their connection after filming ended. In May 2022, they announced their engagement, with Becca taking the lead in propossing. As she shared with TopMob News, she hopes this empowers others to break traditional norms. In October of the same year, Thomas reciprocated the gesture.
In September 2023, they welcomed their first child, a son named Benson. Becca expressed on Instagram, “Words can’t express the love and awe we have for this little man.” Just weeks later, on October 13, they unexpectedly tied the knot in a small ceremony.

In the final episode of The Bachelorette’s season 17 in 2021, Katie got engaged to Blake Moynes. Their love for each other was first expressed during their overnight date, which included a paintball adventure, a cowboy soak, and a chat under the night sky.
Bending down on a knee, Blake conveyed to Katie, “You are worthy of the whole world, and I am eager to stand by your side and assist you daily from now on.
After three months following the broadcast of their proposal, they revealed their separation. In synchronous statements, they expressed, “We appreciate every moment we experienced together and the entire journey that unfolded this year, but regrettably, we discovered that we aren’t well-suited as life partners. It is the kindest decision for us both to progress independently.”
Now she is betrothed to comedian Jeff Arcuri.
Current Status: Separated
After parting ways during Matt’s 2021 season with graphic designer Rachael Kirkconnell (followed by a brief reunion), they have faced numerous breakup speculations.
“Everyone should take a break from social media,” Matt told TopMob News at a July 18 Baskin-Robbins event, explaining that people misinterpret inactivity on their phones as the end of the world.
Despite this, Matt maintained that marriage is still the ultimate goal for them.
“Our relationship progresses at its own pace,” Matt shared with TopMob News in May 2022. “Many couples rush engagements and they’re no longer together. So, I think we have a successful formula and will reach our destination.”
However, less than three years later, Matt announced their separation on Instagram in January 2025, expressing his hope for strength to heal their hearts and asking for divine guidance during this difficult time.

Following her role in wrapping up Clare Crawley’s 2020 season of The Bachelorette, Tayshia became smitten with Zac Clark. Despite exiting the show as an engaged couple, Tayshia disclosed later on that their relationship had its fair share of highs and lows.
She expressed that maintaining a new relationship while taking a break for a couple of weeks can be challenging, and she was being truthful about this situation, as shared on the “The Ben and Ashley I. Almost Famous” podcast in August 2021.
Later on, she said, “It seemed like we needed to remind ourselves of our reasons for being together. And yes, that’s perfectly normal.” However, in November 2021, TopMob News reported they had decided to part ways.

In the thrilling sixteenth season of “The Bachelorette,” I, myself, found myself deeply smitten by Dale Moss. By the fourth episode, our connection had grown so strong that we were engaged! However, the plot thickened as Tayshia stepped in to take Clare’s place, and weeks later, she too found her own happily ever after. Yet, here’s an unexpected twist: just like a chapter closing prematurely, Dale announced on social media that our love story had already come to an end.
Approximately a month later, whispers of reconciliation began circulating as they were seen together. Fast-forwarding to July 2021, following multiple meetings, Clare and Dale had fully reunited—complete with an engagement ring. However, by September, they ended their relationship once more. Now, Clare is blissfully married to Ryan Dawkins, and the couple eagerly anticipates the arrival of their first child together.

Following a short commitment with winner Hannah Ann Sluss and later a separation from runner-up Madison Prewett, fans eagerly anticipated that things would work out for Peter in his third try. Unfortunately, it seemed that his bond with The Bachelor season 24 favorite Kelley Flanagan was not destined to last, as the pilot announced on New Year’s Eve 2020 that their nine-month relationship had come to an end.
Pete wrote on Instagram that although our relationship had many cherished moments, it ultimately didn’t succeed, but he will forever hold a unique affection for Kelley.
In 2022, they made another attempt at flying again, but later in May, they disclosed that their romantic journey had come to an end.
Status: Split
After the intense 2020 finale, the couple revealed on Instagram that they were ending their relationship. “Madi and I have come to a mutual agreement not to continue our romance,” Peter wrote. “I assure you this was not an easy decision for either of us, but after many heartfelt discussions, we’ve decided this is what works best for both of us. The affection and esteem I hold for Madi will persist.
In her statement, Madi expressed, “I’ll continue to cherish and value him. I firmly believe that our lives were destined to intersect, and for the best, they have done so.
Status: Split
In the 24th season of ‘The Bachelor’, Peter and Hannah Ann were briefly an item. Regrettably, a month into their exclusive relationship, issues surfaced during part two of the finale. More specifically, Hannah Ann found out that Peter still harbored feelings for Madison, which left her taken aback.
As a lifestyle advisor, I’d say, “All I’ve longed for is to receive someone’s unwavering devotion, much like how I offer mine. And sadly, you’ve returned the symbol of our initial promise.” She voiced her sentiment, “You’ve taken that away from me. Why? Because I placed my trust in you, and that’s what I’ve consistently asked – to have patience with me, to believe in me.
