As we get ready to delve into season two of of our guilty pleasure, Bachelor in Paradise, we couldn’t help but wonder about some of the famous couples from last season and which one of those whirlwind island romances went the the distance and which ones didn’t.
Keeping track of the couples from the show especially after the finales can be hard, and of course we want to know which relationships stood the test of time, and so we’ve done all the detective work and Insta-stalking for you!
So before we get to the drama of season two like finding out whether Cass Wood really will find love how Richie Strahan will handle the ‘love square’ he finds himself in, we look back to see who kept their love alive after the sun set in Fiji.
Tara Pavlovic and Sam Cochrane
Relationship status: Over
One of Australia’s favourite reality tv couples, we watched as the pair became inseparable and talked about their future outside of Paradise.
Then the couple set the nation’s heart on fire when Sam got down on one knee in the final episode and we were sure that true love could be found on BIP.
However months after the show ended things took a bad turn when cheating and physical and verbal abuse allegations started to surface.
Tara has now moved on and nabbed herself a new man.
Megan Marx and Jake Ellis
Relationship status: Over
Jake Ellis followed his heart in Paradise when he eventually chose Megan Marx over Florence Alexandra, but their shaky start followed them off the show.
The on again off again reportedly called it quits for the final time in March of this year.
Relationship status: Over
Although Fitness guru Ali Oetjen was liked by a few of the guys in Paradise, it was American Bachelor contestant Grant Kemp that stole the blonde beauty’s heart. The pair were loved up pretty quickly and Ali soon headed to Los Angeles to give it a go of making it work with Grant.
However some crazy drama ensued once Oetjen was in LA and fans were told (and given a shock) in the closing credits that:”Ali went to Los Angeles to be with Grant. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out. But Ali has decided to give love one more shot. She will be Australia’s next Bachelorette.”
And the rest is reality TV / Bachelor franchise history.
Keira Maguire and Jarrod Woodgate
Relationship status: On!
Keira Maguire and Jarrod Woodgate, one of the most unlikely couples on BIP, eventually got together during the end of their time on the island.
Their post-BIP relationship was a little tumultuous with Maguire moving to Melbourne to be with Jarrod but then broke it off soon after only to reunite and try again a few months later.
The pair are drawn to eachother and have spoken publicly about marriage and kids saying, ““I never even wanted kids until I met Jarrod. But now that’s absolutely the plan,” Keira told WHO.”
