Bachelor in Paradise: Kevin Fortenberry has found love!

THE BACHELORETTE - "1504" - Hannah takes her journey to find love on the road as she and the remaining 15 men travel to Boston and the beautiful seaside city of Newport, Rhode Island. Jed takes in the city sights with Hannah, shopping at Quincy Market, strolling in Boston Common and lifting a pint at the iconic "Cheers" bar. But the Bachelorette has a real surprise for her date: a visit to the Auerbach Center, where the 17-time World Champion Boston Celtics practice, for an opportunity to play a pickup game with Celtics stars Jaylen Brown and Terry Rozier. Moving on to Newport, 13 men get down and dirty, competing in a fierce but exciting rugby game at Fort Adam, home of the champion Newport Rugby Football Club, which sends one man to the hospital. Later that night, two men go head-to-head and Hannah is caught in the middle. Who is telling the truth? Will she follow her heart or her head? As she heads into her next one-on-one date, still upset, her tall, handsome suitor provides the needed support and comfort. That night, they dance to the music of country star Jake Owen, who sings his hit song "Made For You," which leaves them to wonder if, indeed, they are a match. At an explosive cocktail party, two rivals take turns throwing each other under the bus, even as Hannah attempts to focus on her blossoming relationships. Will she keep both or will one make an early exit? The other men are left to wonder as Hannah walks out in frustration on "The Bachelorette," MONDAY, JUNE 3 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EDT), on The ABC Television Network. (ABC/Robert Clark)KEVIN /

Kevin Fortenberry is in love, Bachelor Nation!

Kevin Fortenberry from Hannah Brown’s season of The Bachelorette and a previous contestant on the current season of Bachelor in Paradise has found love! Yes, that’s right. Even though he didn’t find love on Paradise, it didn’t stop him from finding it in real life, and we couldn’t be happier for him!

So who is this mystery woman? Well, she’s not exactly a mystery anymore. Thanks to Instagram we know now that Kevin Fortenberry is dating a dental hygienist named Hillary Webb, as also reported by US Weekly. Webb posted a picture of the couple on Instagram as soon as this week’s episodes of Bachelor in Paradise aired. Fortenberry was eliminated from Paradise during the recent rose ceremony, which made it fair game to finally brag about his newfound relationship.

It’s all so very adorable, and if you hear about how they connected, it’s even more so! Fortenberry spoke to US Weekly exclusively and revealed that Webb and himself had followed each other on social media for a long time and after one serendipitous run-in at Target, well, the rest is history.

This romance blossomed pretty soon after Fortenberry left Paradise, circa June. I have to say, I’m incredibly happy for the guy. He tried to win Hannah’s love and then searched for love on Paradise, and was unsuccessful at both attempts. But perhaps these rejections were precisely what Fortenberry needed to find his one true love.

I think this goes to show that while the Bachelor Nation shows don’t work for everyone, they do set many of the contestants up for bigger and better things–both personal and professional. And on that note, we wish Kevin Fortenberry and Hillary Webb all the best in their relationship! Thanks for reminding us to never give up on love and always have hope!

Love is real, folks–love is real.

Next. Mike who? It’s all about Derek Peth for the next Bachelor!. dark
