Bachelor in Paradise’s Danielle Maltby gets apology from Paul Calafiore
By Ruby Maxwell
Big Brother’s Paul Calafiore says he “destroyed” Danielle Maltby amidst accusations that he cheated on the Bachelor in Paradise star.
Bachelor in Paradise fans thought Danielle Maltby had finally found the love of her life, but less than five months after she started dating Big Brother/Ex on the Beach star Paul Calafiore, their “relationship” is a hot mess.
After being accused of cheating on Danielle with The Challenge Star Cara Maria Sorbello, Paul is now speaking out about the situation that has many Paradise fans saying, “I told you so!”
Fans may recall Danielle’s final day in Paradise when her friend/co-star Wells Adams kissed her goodbye. That kiss sparked rumors that Danielle and Wells would become an off-camera couple, but that didn’t happen. Instead, Wells started dating actress Sarah Hyland.
In January, Danielle confirmed her relationship with Paul — they were reportedly set up by a publicist.
It didn’t take long for fans to start posting warnings on social media that Paul may not be the most faithful pick, but Danielle was clearly smitten.
E! reports that the couple was “completely obsessed with each other” when they first started dating.
Less than five months after Danielle confirmed she was in a relationship with Paul, rumors that he cheated on Danielle with Cara Maria Sorbello surfaced online.

People reports that Paul hooked up with The Challenge star Cara after they attended the Challenge Throwdown for the Cause event.
Cara reportedly posted a video on her IG story where it appeared she was holding hands with a guy who was wearing the same pinky ring Paul wears.
Coincidence? Probably not.
Paul’s statement all but confirms that he messed up his relationship with Danielle.
“I am not proud of my actions these past weeks,” Paul told E! “I know they speak louder than these words. I have destroyed the one person that has believed in and brought out the best in me. I have many things I need to work on and repair internally. I want to be better. I know I haven’t earned it, but I ask for patience and privacy while I work on repairing myself.”
So far, Danielle has been silent about the situation. Although all of her photos with Paul are still up on her Instagram (on his, as well), Danielle hasn’t posted any photos of Paul since April. Maybe she’s was clued in long before fans.
