Are Kristina And Dean Dating Again? New Details About The On-And-Off-Again 'Bachelor In Paradise' Couple
Dean is newly single, after all...
instagram For Bachelor and Bachelorette fans, the drama and slow-moving action can become too much to handle. That’s why watching Bachelor in Paradise is a great way to escape from the rose ceremony that involves the same men and women each week. Bachelor in Paradise eliminates two contestants, and replaces them with two new ones, but they're always contestants from past seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.
It’s great reality television, that’s for sure. And the most dramatic of them all was the romance between Kristina Schulman and Dean Unglert.
But are Kristina and Dean dating again?
As fans remember, there was an epic love triangle between the two, and fellow contestant Danielle Lombard. He ultimately chose to pursue a relationship with Lombard, leaving Schulman heartbroken — even though he spent the night with Schulman right before the rose ceremony! She left the show without giving her rose to anyone.
That was back in the summer of 2017 but in the last few days, rumors have been swirling that the two are back together.
The first indication comes from Dominique Alexis’ Instagram story from the weekend. In the story, Unglert is seen staring at a woman on the beach in a red bikini. Later, Schulman posted a photo on her Instagram ... wearing the same bikini! Is it a coincidence or were the two hanging out? See for yourself:
Another clue that may indicate they are dating again is their appearance together at Stagecoach at the end of April. Were they just hanging out as friends or was there something more going on?
Before you get too excited, in a May 2018 interview with People magazine, Schulman said that she doesn’t talk to Unglert anymore. Unglert also moved on and dated co-star Lesley Murphy from The Bachelor Winter Games.
“It ended before Winter Games, like the friendship and everything — and I didn’t watch Winter Games, but obviously with social media it’s hard to not see. After Winter Games finished filming, he did reach out to me and say that he was dating someone. So I was like, ‘Okay. Out of respect for her and me, we should not continue talking.’”
But now that Murphy and Unglert have split, does that mean the two will rekindle their relationship?
Well, in a post that Murphy put on her Instagram, she said, “I know it’s imperative to find someone who chooses us and acknowledges our many layers, who can be open and vulnerable, and most importantly, who is ready. To meet someone and be met. To be chosen and to choose. To love and to be loved. This is everything. All we need is that same energy reciprocated, and despite how open and loving you attempt to be, people can only meet you as deeply as they’ve met themselves.”
Could this be hinting at Unglert’s immaturity? I mean, he has had trouble choosing between women before and deciding whether or not a relationship is what he wants.
Since the split, Unglert has entered therapy to tackle his own inner demons and issues so it looks like, for now, he’ll be focusing on himself. Which is a good thing because we definitely don’t want Kristina to be heartbroken again.
