Find out what happened when your favorite cast members left paradise.

 

If you tuned in on this past season of Bachelor in Paradise, you probably developed an obsession for one or two of your favorite couples. You may have kept track of these stars and gotten into all of the drama during the season. But, do you know where they are now and what they’re up to? If you haven’t been up to date on all the latest from your Bachelor in Paradise favorites, don’t fret because I’m here to keep you informed! From the universal obsession for Grocery Store Joe to the drama of Jenna and Jordan, here’s where our favorite — and not so favorite — couples are now.  

1. Grocery Store Joe and Kendall

We last saw Joe and Kendall leaving paradise broken-hearted after Kendall was confused about her feelings for Joe Their journey continued into the reunion episode where we learned that Kendall visited Joe and confessed her feelings to him. Joe was hesitant at first, understandably guarding his heart, but with a head and heart full of love, they worked things out and are now back together! Since then, Kendall has been back in LA serving lots of philanthropy events. Joe is now on season 27 of Dancing With the Stars. with his dance partner Jenna Johnson, he is definitely stirring up the dance floor, and also has the perks of being with Kendall in Los Angeles! Be sure to check him out this season!

 

2. Kevin and Astrid

Much like Kendall and Joe, both Astrid and Kevin were smooth sailing on the show, with very few bumps in the road. Suddenly, during the second-to-last episode of the season, Kevin became doubtful of his feelings and didn’t want to hurt Astrid. In doing so, both of them left the island under a waterfall of tears. At the reunion episode, they both took the time to discuss how they were feeling. Kevin addressed how he feels based on his two heart-breaking experiences on the show, and just wanted to ensure that he didn’t lose Astrid again. They reconciled their relationship and have traveled all across the world together since their time on Bachelor in Paradise.

 

3. Annaliese

Oh, Annaliese! The girl who was the readiest for love and ultimately left with no one. First, there was Jordan, who found a spark with Jenna right away. Then there was Kenny, who Annaliese shared a special bond with. Kenny later left the show to support his daughter in a dance recital that he couldn’t bring himself to miss. Props for him, but shucks for Annaliese. Finally, there came Kamil, a Polish male model living in New York, who caught Annaliese’s attention.

 

Let me remind you that Annaliese stated very clearly that she was looking to be engaged by the end of this journey, and when the time came for Kamil to do so, he opted not to because he wasn’t ready to commit to her fully, but still very much wanted to be with her. They continued their relationship, but it all came crashing down for Annaliese. Kamil broke up with her on live television, saying that he was not ready to commit. Not only did he humiliate her in front of everyone, but he also proved that sometimes there are good guys and bad guys, and he was definitely the worst. Annaliese, being the strong woman that she is, confronted him and has now moved forward with her life. She is now living back San Francisco and taking a step back to enjoy some private time.

 

4. Chris and Krystal

Chris and Krystal might have been the villains of their seasons, but they were never the villains of our hearts when they were brought together. They found each other on the show and are now happily engaged. Since  Krystal is a fitness coach and Chris is a sales trainer, both of them have to travel back and forth from Miami to Los Angeles for their jobs. They are both making it work and it honestly couldn’t be better. So excited to see the Goose Wedding soon!

 

5. Venmo John

Another man that stole our hearts was Venmo John. As a software engineer, he collaborated with people to make the app we all know and love, Venmo. On Becca’s season, John was known as the guy with lots of intelligence, character and kindness. On Bachelor In Paradise, John expressed that his intellectual contributions to the app was one of his biggest insecurities. This, in turn, gained the attraction of many women on the island, and John ended up having nearly seven relationships on the beach. Despite his many relationships on the show, John, unfortunately, left the show with no one and is now living his life back in San Francisco.

 

6. Eric and Angela

Personally, this was a couple that I hoped would work out for the better. Unfortunately, their time together came to an end when Eric decided to go on a date with Cassandra after he said that he was “all in” for Angela. As a result, Angela went home without a rose, and Eric left the island without love.  Eric has since gone back to Baltimore to continue his job as a personal trainer and has also taken the time to promote his appearance on the show across the nation. Since leaving the show, Angela has found love with a former cast member of Becca’s season, Clay Harbor. Remember the football player who had to leave the show to heal his wrist? They have been going strong since the end of Bachelor in Paradise, and are a great couple to keep watch on.

 

7. Colton and Tia

If you watched at least two minutes of Bachelor in Paradise this season, you’ve probably been wondering where the couple that took up the majority of screen time has gone. Colton and Tia were basically all that the show’s producers wanted to highlight, and their complicated relationship had many ups and downs throughout the season. Their relationship started off rocky, and many people probably thought that it was never going to work out. Soon, they pulled it together and were watching the sunset, eating hot dogs together and living happily ever after.

 

However, it all came to an abrupt end when Colton realized, once again, that Tia wasn’t the right person for him, and they both came to the mutual understanding that they worked better as close friends. Tia has since gone back to Arkansas to continue her work as a physical therapist, and live a quiet life at home with her dogs. Colton has taken on the roll to be the next Bachelor! He’s looking for a woman to share his love for dogs and a passion for family. Be sure to watch him on the next season of The Bachelor.

 

8. Jordan and Jenna

Last, but most definitely not least, we have Jordan and Jenna. At the end of Bachelor in Paradise, we watched their engagement enfold and learned of their plans to pursue a televised wedding in April. Unfortunately, on the day the episode aired, a reality TV  news platform called Reality Steve released screenshots of text messages sent by Jenna to another male that was not her fiancee Jordan Kimball. Phrases in the texts included, “Me and Jordan aren’t together for real.” and “I need you to love me and always be there for me.” Since then, both Jordan and Jenna have gone their separate ways. Jenna has gathered a legal team to investigate the situation and claims that the texts were false. Jordan has not been in contact with Jenna at all. On Instagram, they have both posted their sides of the story through emails, forensic reports and several passive-aggressive updates. Their argument continues to unfold on social media so be sure to stay updated on the drama of what was once the beautiful connection of Jenna and Jordan.

 

Now that this season of Bachelor in Paradise is over and there has been some time since we last saw our favorites, a lot has happened. II’m more than sure a lot is going to happen in the near future, so stay updated on social media to watch all the madness unfold.
