Season three of Bachelor In Paradise proved itself to be its most explosive season yet.
A fiery spat between exes, the quick elimination of resident golden girl (Abbie, obvs) and no less than three guys threatening to walk out all in the space of the first four episodes was pretty much case in point to prove this lot weren’t there to muck about with spiders.
But of course, what we really love about this show isn’t anything to do with the ridiculously high tensions and nasty couple switcheroos.
Nope, we’re here to see if these sorrowful singles actually find love – and if we count their time on the island as a whole, quite a few of them very much do.
So which Bachelor in Paradise season 3 couples are still together?
If you kept up with the show (and we wouldn’t blame you if you’d gotten a little confused with all the he-said-she-said palava), you might have noticed some serious front runners in the couple department.
And no, we firmly denied the validity of these so-called ‘friendship’ roses – honestly, what kind of friend allies with you only to turn their back on you at the first sign of an actual love interest?
Anyways, find out all the deets on who lasted the distance… and who’s cut ties.
Prepare for many, many emotions.
Mary and Connor: Our new OTP
The budding romance between Mary and Conor was a true sight to behold in this season.
When the pair met each others friends and family in the penultimate episode, our hearts literally felt like they might burst.
And when Mary admitted that she was in love with Conor, we basically combusted into confetti.
After two biological children together – and Mary’s eldest daughter, Chanel – the pair are blissfully in love.
In 2023, the pair announced they are getting engaged! In an adorable video shared to Instagram, the pair shared the moment Conor got down on one knee and proposed. But he didn’t only kneel down to Mary, but also to Chanel and handed her a little black box with jewellery inside.
Too. Damn. Cute.
Alisha and Glenn: On like donkey kong!
Paradise‘s poster couple are in with a grin – to this very day!
Our interests were piqued earlier in the piece when fan Instagram account @Bachiefunny did some investigative work to point out that promos for the season finale depicted a guy and a gal with silhouettes rather familiar to those of Alisha and Glenn.
There was no mistaking those blurry silhouettes – and going by their instant chemistry following Alisha’s initial arrival in Paradise, things were very hopeful from the get-go.
And in April 2023, the pair became Mr and Mrs Smith in a stunning country wedding.
So sweet!
Britt and Timm: Splitsville
In perhaps the biggest, yet most serendipitous surprise of all, Britt and Timm’s hook up in Paradise left us giddy as they showed early signs of success.
When the show premiered in July, Britt shared a hint via her Instagram story featuring Timm’s signature flower – sunflowers – along with a caption.
“What a night. With everything happening in the world right now, it was nice to forget for a hot second and just have a good old belly laugh.”
Then, she sneakily added: “Lucky to have such great people in my life.”
Cute right? Well… not exactly.
A couple of days later, the Daily Mail shared a bunch of pap pics of Timm Hanly looking very cosy with his on-again off-again girlfriend of several years.
Then, when the pair’s exit from Paradise aired, it quickly became apparent that the worst had, indeed, happened.
Explaining the situation to Now To Love, Britt confirmed: “Basically he ghosted me for the last eight months [since filming wrapped]. He treated me poorly when I think abut it, but I hold no grudges.”
The stunning brunette took the break up like a champ, revealing that she was happy he appeared to be back with his former love.
It was good while it lasted…
(Network Ten)Jessica and Ciarran: Donezo
Unless you were hiding under a rock, you’ll have been subjected to the full-blown face-sucking fest that was Ciarran and Jessica for a hot minute on the show.
Yep, there’s no doubt these two were very into each other – that surfboard scene was enough to nauseate/convince us all.
But did they last the distance? That’d be a hard no.
In episode six, viewers were a little confronted by how quickly old mate Ciarran decided to drop Jessica as soon as newcomer Kiki Morris walked in.
That said, it seems the pair are still amicable.
In an interview with Now To Love post-Paradise, Jess said there was “no bad blood” between the two.
“We’re on a mutual ground,” she said.
Things got very hot and heavy between Ciarran and Jess, until one Kiki Morris walked in.
(Network Ten)Ciarran and Kiki: Oh it’s ON… until it wasn’t…
Kiki Morris made many a head turn when she entered Paradise stage left – but none more so than Ciarran Stott, who, as we prefaced above, was willing to drop everything to be with her.
The pair quickly struck up a fiery romance, and they did make it through to the end of Paradise, opting to leave together just before the final rose ceremony.
But things were not meant to be between the pair.
As pointed out by our favourite pro-sleuth @BachieFunny, the pair were pictured together several times in the weeks following filming.
On November 3 (apparently a week after returning from Paradise), the pair were spotted kissing and hanging out in Sydney (pics of the elusive act were revealed via DMs).
The fan account then points out the pair were “all over social together” for weeks… until they weren’t.
All went quiet on their front from January 2021.
After the Paradise finale, the pair confirmed that while they’d given their relationship a red hot go, things hadn’t worked out.
“It’s unfortunate our relationship didn’t work out the way we wanted, and we are no longer together,” Kiki wrote.
But it looks like there isn’t too much bad blood between the pair: “I wish him nothing but the best.”
Sparks flew on Ciarran and Kiki’s first date.
(Network Ten)Renee and Matt: That’d be a no…
For anyone that was gunning for Renee and Matt on Bachelor in Paradise, had to brace themselves for a little disappointment.
The first sign suggesting things had gone south came from none other than the elusive Jessika Power from Married at First Sight.
Speaking to the podcast So Dramatic!, she revealed that Matt is now dating another reality star (don’t worry, our brains are also racing to catch up on this one…).
“He’s dating Kim Hartnett from Love Island,” Jessika explained.
And before you wonder how on earth Jessika Power fits into this whole schmozzle, it’s because she and Matt actually dated right up until he left for Paradise.
“Yeah, he dumped me for Paradise, 100 per cent,” Jessika said.
Ouch…
Ouch, looks like these two didn’t make it further than Fiji…
