The third season of Bachelor In Paradise just recently came to a conclusion, and it ended with three couples getting engaged. Couples happily in love are not as big of a surprise from BIP as one may think, and now, there is another one. Two former contestants have gotten together and it’s not just “puppy love” as one of them has said it’s “serious.”
On the most recent seasons of Bachelor In Paradise , three couples stayed together and had the question popped for each in the season finale . The three happy couples are Grant Kemp and Lace Morris, Evan Bass and Carly Waddell, along with Josh Murray and Amanda Stanton .
This new couple, though, goes back to the second edition of Bachelor In Paradise where JJ Lane and Juelia Kinney first got acquainted.

According to People , Lane, who competed for the final rose on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season of The Bachelorette , is exclusively dating Juelia. For those that don’t remember, she was on Season 19 of The Bachelor which was headed up by Chris Soules.
JJ and Juelia first met on Season 2 of Bachelor In Paradise , but not much happened during their time in Mexico. It wasn’t until they got back home that things began to heat up, and JJ even said that things started off quite innocently.
“What started as a tremendous friendship has grown organically and both of us are very happy and excited.”
For a couple of months now, both JJ and Juelia have dropped hints about their relationship and where it is going. Judging by their social media accounts, they are certainly not trying to hide it from the world and they’re more than proud.
The villains have indeed found love just as Grant Kemp and Lace Morris did on this season of Bachelor In Paradise .
Juelia wasn’t the only one promoting their relationship, though.
An interesting note from JJ, though, was when he posted a pic on Instagram of him walking down the aisle, arm-in-arm with Juelia. They were together at the wedding of Tanner Tolbert and Jade Roper, but the caption on the pic is what really stirred things up.
“Happy birthday, @jueliakinner! Nobody I would rather walk down the aisle with”
According to Reality TV World , JJ isn’t the only one that has strong feelings for Juelia. His 4-year-old daughter Gemma has really fallen for “Miss Juelia,” and it seems as if Kinney’s three-year-old daughter named Ireland loves JJ.
Lane ended up saying that it was kept simply as a friendship for quite some time, but it got “serious” about two months ago. He loves her intelligence and says that “she puts me to shame” in numerous aspects.
During their stints on their respective shows, they didn’t end up doing too bad. Juelia made it until week 4 of The Bachelor before being sent home. JJ made it all the way to week 6 of Kaitlyn’s season of The Bachelorette .
As said earlier, there wasn’t any real romance between the two while on BIP . JJ arrived as the season began and quit the show by week 3. Juelia entered as the show began and had a relationship with Mikey but learned there wasn’t much from his end so she went home in the season finale.
JJ Lane and Juelia Kinney may be a rather unexpected couple, but they have a lot of things in common without even knowing much about them. Being in the reality TV world is a huge deal, and finding someone to love is what everyone in the world of The Bachelor , The Bachelorette , and Bachelor In Paradise is trying to do. Now, this new couple has found it in each other and things are looking good.
