Bachelor in Paradise premiered in August 2014 as a reality TV dating series featuring former contestants from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. The show starts with an uneven number of women and men from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. Each week, there’s a Rose Ceremony where either the men or women give roses to the contestants they feel the strongest connection to. The contestants who don’t receive a rose are sent home.
The next week, the roles are reversed, and the gender that didn’t give out roses the previous week now chooses who to give a rose to and who to send home. Each week, more contestants from past seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette join the show to create an uneven number between the women and men and force the contestants already there to either couple up with someone new or stay in their current relationship. Contestants are also given date cards at random to choose contestants they want to spend alone time with. Many new contestants join the show with a date card.
At the end of Bachelor in Paradise, the contestants are offered an opportunity to have an overnight date with no cameras or microphones (much like Fantasy Suites on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.) After the overnight dates is the finale, where contestants either choose to break up or get engaged. Like The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise also has an “After the Final Rose” special, where contestants reunite to hash out drama and update viewers on their relationship.
But back to Jess and Tanner. So… are Jess and Tanner still together from Bachelor in Paradise 2023 and did they get engaged in the BIP Season 9 finale? Read on for what happened to Jess and Tanner on Bachelor in Paradise 2023.
Are Jess and Tanner still together from Bachelor in Paradise Season 9?
Are Jess and Tanner still together from Bachelor in Paradise Season 9? The answer is no. Jess Girod (The Bachelor Season 27) and Tanner Courtad (The Bachelorette Season 20) are not still together after Bachelor in Paradise Season 9, according to Reality Steve.
According to Reality Steve, only three couples ended up together in the Bachelor in Paradise Season 9 finale, and Jess and Tanner weren’t one of them. The couples who ended up together are: Kat Izzo and John Henry Spurlock; Aaron Bryant and Eliza Isichei; and Kylee Russell and Aven Jones. Kat and John Henry, and Aaron B. and Eliza got engaged at the Final Rose Ceremony in the Bachelor in Paradise Season 9 finale, while Kylee and Aven left in a relationship.
Before the Bachelor in Paradise Season 9 finale, Jess was involved with Blake Moynes, who was on The Bachelorette Season 16 and 17. Blake broke up with Jess and left Bachelor in Paradise Season 9 before the finale after his ex-fiance Katie Thurston—who he got engaged to on The Bachelorette Season 17—arrived on the beach and made Blake question his relationship with Jess. Tanner, for his part, was involved with Rachel Recchia, who was on The Bachelor Season 26 and The Bachelorette Season 19. Rachel broke up with Tanner to date Jordan Vandergriff, who she previously dated on The Bachelorette Season 19. Jordan, however, broke up with Rachel to date Mercedes Northup, who was on The Bachelor Season 27, which led Rachel to self-eliminate on Bachelor in Paradise Season 9.
