Bachelor Nation alums Ashley Iaconetti Jared Haibon weren’t stealing screen time (and date cards) from the current cast of Bachelor in ParadiseTwo couples from big families made major decisions about their relationships during Monday’s October 10 episode.
After you have gotten married on day one Bron Jones and Serene Russell went on their first official date — and the BacheloretteThe season 18 runner up dropped the first L bomb of the season.
“It has been so easy and just really special and you’ve gone out of your way [for me]. Even just the little things, whenever you grab lunch, you grab me lunch too,” Serene said. “Or just how comfortable we are. And I’ve always needed that and always wanted that. You just doing those things for me makes me feel like I’m deserving of all of the things that I want and have needed from someone and I’ve never experienced that before.”
Brandon responded, “You are deserving and so much more. When I met you, [I knew] I didn’t want to be with anyone else but you. … I’m falling in love with you and I am so happy that I am. I’m so happy that my life led me to you.”
“I’m definitely falling in love with you too,” the BachelorSeason 26 alum replied. “And I’ve never felt this special in my life.”
The twosome seems to have rekindled their love, Michael AllioSurprised Sierra JacksonWhen he ended their relationship.
“The past couple of days, I’ve been taking time to enjoy where we’re at, knowing that this whole thing moves so quickly. However, things do take time. I can’t put my finger on it, there’s something [missing] with us,” he said. “I know you can feel me being guarded. I don’t mean to do that. I really don’t.”
Sierra was told by the single dad, whose wife Laura died in 2019 from breast cancer, that he believes they are better together.
“I’m trying to find a way back to happiness and the thing that scares me the most is that I’m using people that I actually care about to help me get there, and I’m hurting them along the way. And it’s messing with me,” he said. “I care so much about you. I don’t want you to be one of those. I think the best thing now is just space from the romantic pressure and just be friends.”
Sierra was clearly surprised, opting to leave the show because she didn’t want to see Michael date other people.
“I’m sad,” she told the cameras. “I really, really care for him. I still care about him. I don’t wish anything bad upon him. I have to respect what he needs because that’s what you do when you care about someone.”
