The Bachelor and The Bachelorette contestants: Where are they now?

8. John Paul Jones

Personally, I loved JPJ and was really rooting for him and Tayshia to make it post-Paradise; however, I’m a much bigger fan of Zac Clark (sorry, JPJ).

Not much is going on (new) with JPJ besides the fact that he’s recently gotten into acting, most recently being spotted in Bathtub Chronicles, an Amazon Prime film actually made in the Amazon. What a fun place to film, am I right?!

9. Jubilee Sharpe

I was never a huge fan of Jubilee, but her and JPJ had a minor fling on Paradise, and fans seemed to enjoy all of her camera appearances.

What’s she doing or up to now? She’s living in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and just recently went public again on Insta, following a brief run-in with the law for a DUI arrest back in February 2020. Oops.

10. Katie Morton

One of the most beautiful contestants to ever grace our screens in Bachelor franchise history. I always loved Katie for her love of dogs, kindness and openness and willing to talk with and help others.

Following her split from ex-BF Chris Bukowski (the grandpa in the Paradise opening credits who could never find or keep a date) back in 2019, she’s currently and secretly dating a guy out back in London. Secrets, secrets are no fun….Katie.

11. Lace Morris

Remember that drunk girl on night one of Ben Higgins’ season of The Bachelor who almost got herself sent home, but then ended up quitting herself in Week 3? Yeah, that is who we’re talking about here. Never liked her, never have, never will, good luck to you girlfriend.

Since her days on The Bachelor, Lace is probably on her 27th breakup since the initial breakup with Grant Kemp way back in 2016. She is constantly posting about “doing her” on Insta to imply suchly.

12. Krystal Nielson

The annoying fitness and life coach who just ‘tried to help people’. Hated her. That. Is. All.

Following her less-than-a-year-long marriage from ‘The Goose’ in February 2020, she recently introduced us to her new beau in June and announced that they were also expecting a baby together. A little soon, Krys, don’t ya think?! Poor Goose. Such a good guy (sorry can’t say the same for you, Krystal girl). Oops.

13. Marquel Martin

Honestly, I don’t even remember him, but trust me, when you look at his photo, he’s just got that super familiar face that ya know the guy, if that makes any sense at all.

What’s he doing or up to now? Well folks, Marquel is a recently-engaged man to a beautiful and gorgeous woman named Kari Kaisner. No, she’s not from the TV show’s franchise.

So how did they meet so uniquely and fatefully? She ran out of gas one day and Marquel happened to stop for help. As he said in his own personal words and statement, “And that’s where it all started”.

The rest is history truly I guess, huh Marquel?! Cute story, though!

14. Mike Johnson

And now for the final contestant! I went back and forth between being a fan and not-so-much; however, Mike Johnson got two fluffy dogs that are super adorable, so how could we not like him?

Johnson is currently soaking in the recurring fame from writing and releasing his book called Making the Love You Want, post-brief dating fling with Demi Lovato. Good for you, Bud. Good for you, Mike.

*Recently, ex contestant Michelle Money’s daughter suffered, but survived a horrible TBI post-accident. Prayers for her continued recovery and endless health and family’s happiness.*
