Michelle Randolph learned a lot from Cassie Randolph’s journey to find love.
Reflecting on her older sister’s highly publicized split from Colton Underwood a year after she won his heart on The Bachelor in 2019, the actress from The Landman shared that the situation had a significant impact on her.
Michelle recently told InStyle magazine that she prefers to keep certain lessons she’s learned private. She explained that sharing personal experiences doesn’t usually lead to anything positive, as those things are meant to be kept between you and the people you’re closest to.
Interestingly, the 28-year-old shared that she’s realized she prefers to keep her romantic relationships private.
Cassie, who is now 30, and Colton, 33, ended their relationship in May 2020, a little over a year after appearing on The Bachelor. Their romance gained a lot of attention on the show, particularly when Colton almost left after Cassie decided to leave.
Although they initially presented their breakup as friendly, Cassie filed for a restraining order against Colton just four months later, claiming he was stalking and harassing her. She later dropped the order that same year. Colton, who publicly came out as gay in 2021, stated to TopMob News at the time that he didn’t believe Cassie had done anything wrong by filing it and thought she had acted honestly.
Michelle is staying tight-lipped about her relationship with Glen Powell, choosing not to address rumors despite being seen showing affection with him recently.
She explained that keeping her personal life and work separate is crucial for her peace of mind. She also emphasized that public perception doesn’t define who a person truly is.
Glen acknowledged that dating while famous would require a very particular kind of person. He explained to CBS Mornings in June 2024 that it would be quite challenging, saying, “It’s a lot.”
Though their relationship didn’t work out publicly, Cassie and Colton both found happiness. Cassie married musician Brighton Reinhardt last month, and Colton married political strategist Jordan C. Brown in May 2023. They later welcomed a son named Bishop in 2024.

Before The Golden Bachelor even premiered, Mel Owen faced criticism for comments he made on the MGoBlue Podcasts With Jon Jansen. He stated he wouldn’t consider women over 60 and preferred they didn’t have artificial hips or wigs.
Although his longtime partner, Peg Munson, is also in her sixties, their relationship is full of energy and excitement. The former NFL player described her to Glamour magazine as being incredibly “high-energy.”
I was so moved during his final game in November 2025! He didn’t kneel, but he did present a beautiful Neil Lane ring, and his words really got to me. He said it symbolized our dedication to love and a promise to work through whatever the future brings, together. It was just a beautiful moment, honestly.
Status: Engaged
Spencer Conley, who made a good impression on Jenn Tran with his friendly personality on The Bachelorette, found a connection on season 10 of Bachelor in Paradise. In August 2025, he shared a post with Jess Edwards (who previously tried to win over Joey Graziadei on The Bachelor) hinting they were falling for each other – a common way to say they aren’t quite ready to say “I love you” yet. He jokingly declared on Instagram that he’d “already won.”
Okay, so Jess just posted the cutest thing! She basically said she’s totally head-over-heels for this guy, and I’m loving the sweet, casual way she shared it. It’s all ‘lil giddy’ and ‘and whatnot’ – so relatable, right? It’s a small update, but it feels so genuine and happy!
They were overjoyed! After deciding to prioritize their relationship over the $250,000 prize, they got engaged and were happily surprised with a $190,000 check as they left.
“Everything that we’ve been through,” Jess said, “has led us to this exact moment.”
Jess shared during the November 2025 After the Finale Rose special that she’ll be moving to Dallas soon, following her new relationship.

Bailey Taylor Brown shared on Instagram in August 2025 that her date with Jeremy Simon was the best first date she’d ever had, following their time on the tenth season of Paradise. However, it might also be their last. Bailey, who originally competed for Grant Ellis’s affection, and Jeremy, who almost won the heart of Jenn on The Bachelorette, managed to overcome their biggest fight yet when Bailey discovered Jeremy had hesitated about sending Susie Evans home.
Their romance continued to blossom while they were in Costa Rica. Even though they didn’t make it to the end of Bachelor in Paradise, they decided to keep dating after the show. They’ve already met each other’s families and are making plans to live in the same city together.
In a September 2025 Instagram post, Bailey expressed how fortunate she felt to have met her partner and shared her excitement for the future.

It looks like things are still going strong between Paradise season 10 contestants Andrew Spencer (who was on Katie Thurston’s season) and Alexe Godin (from Grant’s season). Just six days after Andrew publicly called Alexe his “love” on Instagram in August 2025, she reciprocated, calling him her “sweetheart” in a post of her own.
Even though they picked love instead of the $250,000 prize on the Bachelor in Paradise finale, they still received $125,000 as a parting gift.
“This is incredible,” Alexe said. “I’m leaving with money, but more importantly, with love.”
The couple is taking their relationship to Chicago, as the show will share Alexe’s plans to relocate there with Andrew.
I seriously can’t even begin to tell you how happy I was when she posted that on Instagram back in September 2025! “Finally found someone just as weird as me, and I can’t wait to do life with you.” It was like everything I’d been hoping for, seeing them find someone who gets them. I mean, it just felt so right, and I knew then they were meant to be. I’ve been following their every move since, and it’s amazing to see them so happy!

During the “Bachelor in Paradise” finale, a difficult situation arose for Kat Izzo and Dale Moss when Sean McLaughlin claimed Kat had hidden a laptop and was secretly writing letters to an ex-boyfriend. Kat, who works as a nurse practitioner, firmly denied having any contact with him while on the show.
She asked if they were still together before this happened. He replied that they were, explaining he hadn’t expected to meet anyone else.
Despite not making it to the final test on Paradise, Kat and Dale continued dating. The show recently revealed that the two – Kat, who was on Zach Shallcross’ season, and Dale, a former contestant from Clare Crawley’s season – traveled the U.S. together and are planning a future together, even considering moving closer to each other.
Dale wrote under Kat’s August 2025 Instagram post that things were difficult at times, but they got through it together, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

However, Leslie, who once inspired musician Prince, isn’t certain she wants to pursue a romantic relationship with Gary.
She shared that she and Gary talk constantly. Appearing on Bachelor Happy Hour in August 2025, she described him as one of her closest friends, someone she can always turn to for support. He helps calm her down when she’s stressed, and they consistently support each other through everything.
Even though they live far apart – she’s in Minnesota and he’s in California – she’s still optimistic about their connection. She explained that, for her, the most important part of any relationship, especially a romantic one, is building a strong friendship first. She wants to be with someone she considers her best friend as they both get older.

In the end, they realized they were better suited as friends than as a couple.
Faith explained in a September 2025 Instagram video that she and the other person talk about two or three times a week, even though he lives five and a half hours away. She clarified they aren’t a romantic couple—they never fell in love—but they did have a strong connection while filming the show.

During the November 2024 finale of The Golden Bachelorette, Joan shared a hopeful message: ‘We’re proof that even later in life, there’s always hope.’ Moments before Chock proposed in Bora Bora, she told him, ‘I’ve waited for this moment, in this beautiful place, to tell you that I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you – waking up with you every morning and kissing you goodnight.’
At the end of season 21 of The Bachelorette, it seemed like Jenn Tran, who previously appeared on The Bachelor, had found love with Devin Strader. However, during the After the Final Rose special in September 2024, Jenn shared that Devin quickly became distant once filming concluded.
Jenn explained to Jesse Palmer that he had strongly declared his love for her, but the very next day acted as if it never happened and denied ever having feelings for her. She said all the promises and affection he’d expressed were suddenly gone.
The situation escalated when Devin posted a 13-minute video on Instagram explaining his perspective. In the video, he took responsibility for his actions and detailed the reasons behind their breakup, which he had initially discussed in a 15-minute phone call.
Jenn said he ended their relationship during a phone call in August, but he insists she pressed him for answers when he was attempting to tell her in person.
He said he’d been wanting to tell her face-to-face, but she pushed him to reveal it sooner than he’d planned. “I felt like she left me no choice,” he explained.
Jenn then found love on Dancing With the Stars with her partner, Sasha Farber. They continued dating even after being eliminated from the show in October 2024, but eventually broke up in 2025.

As she shared on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast in June 2025, she wanted to focus on what truly mattered – their love and connection – and felt she was getting too caught up in minor details.
However, one thing especially impressed her. The aunt who signed her up to compete for Zach’s affection discovered the chapel near Austin where they had their wedding. Kaity explained, “It was exactly what we wanted.”
