After twenty-four seasons of The Bachelor and sixteen seasons of The Bachelorette, there
is no denying that the franchise has taken the world by storm. With every new season
gaining more popularity than the one before. The show is so successful that even contestants
become quite famous once their season has ended. At times it doesn’t even seem as
though the show is a battle for someone’s heart, but rather a battle to see how famous
a contender can get. With all the fame it’s no wonder that some Hollywood celebrities
also want to get in on some Bachelor action. Yes, even celebrities watch The Bachelor.
Some have even slid into their favorite contenders DM’s hoping to play their own little Bachelor
game. Today we will look at the most surprising and shocking Bachelor Nation contenders that
went on to date actual Hollywood stars. With some that went so far as getting engaged and
others who seemed to get a little fame-hungry. So stick around and don’t forget to Subscribe
to Rumor Juice.
Let’s start with one of The Bachelorette’s fan favorites. Viewers were left heartbroken
when Hannah Brown went for womanizer Jed Wyatt instead of everyone else’s choice Tyler
Cameron. But with his down to earth, country boy personality and extremely good looks,
no one worried that he would be single for too long.
In July 2019 rumors started spreading that Cameron and supermodel Gigi Hadid were dating.
Yes, that’s right, Zan Malik’s Gigi Hadid. Now we don’t know who was luckier Gigi for
dating Cameron or everyone’s favorite runner up for dating Gigi. But one thing we know
for sure is that their whirlwind romance took the world by storm from the moment dating
rumors began circulating.
Gigi and Tyler’s fling of course started on Instagram, because how else do you romance
in the 21st century?
Although everyone was happy that Tyler found someone after being left heartbroken, it was
a bittersweet moment for all Bachelor and Gigi fans. As they were still hoping that
there might be a chance between Hannah and Cameron.
Hannah called off her engagement after finding out that Jed had a girlfriend during the filming
of the show! It was on the final episode of the season that Hannah admitted to Tyler that
she made a mistake and asked him if he would want to go on a date with her.
And on the other side, fans were convinced that Gigi and Zayn were eventually going to
make things work… which of course they did.
Although Tyler and Gigi’s relationship was brief, since Gigi was obviously still in love
with Zayn, the two were spotted at many events together. During their time together, Tyler
and Gigi went on a mini-vacation, she reportedly introduced him to Serena Williams and he even
attended her grandmother’s funeral. In other words, things were super serious. Until they
weren’t.
On the matter, Tyler said: “I took it as I met a great person, a great friend. It wasn’t
like a bad breakup or anything like that. It was just, we’re at different parts of
our lives right now.”
But in a shocking twist, Tyler was seen leaving Gigi’s apartment just days after he was
spotted at Hannah Brown’s apartment!!!! Spectators were very confused. Was this the
reason that Gigi and Tyler broke up??
Either way, Cameron can thank his lucky stars that The Bachelor put him on the map because
Gigi wasn’t the only celeb that fell in love with him after watching him on the show.
After his split with Gigi, Tyler reportedly moved on with none other than Kylie Jenner’s
BFF Stassie Karanikolaou. These two were spotted getting super flirty at a basketball game
and of course, they were caught making out. A source told E! News that the two never parted
that night. Whispering sweet nothings into each other’s ears and locking lips till
the very end. But it didn’t seem to go much further than that as the two weren’t seen
together after that. Two celebrities in one year! We are super
excited to see which celeb is going to shoot their shot with this marriage material hottie!
Our next two contenders probably don’t need an introduction as just the pairing alone
is probably shocking enough. Do you think you would be able to guess which Keeping Up
With the Kardashians family member Bachelor Ben Flanjnik went for? Kim? Kourtney? Khloe?
Kendall? Nope guess again….
It took many people around the world, fans or not, a moment to process the fact that
The Bachelor’s season sixteen star was involved with... Kris Jenner! Yes, the mom…
However, no one seems to know if it was a romantic involvement. Ben was very quick to
take to social media, when rumors of the two started circulating, promising the world that
they are only just friends.
Momager Kris and Ben’s alleged romance went down in 2013 when she was spotted visiting
his winery with pal Jonathan Cheban. The two hit it off right away and before she left,
Ben told Kris that she is more than welcome to come back any time. Probably hoping it
was sooner rather than later.
Kris jumped at the opportunity and asked if they could film one of the Keeping Up With
the Kardashians episodes there... Surely Ben had no problem with this. Was it maybe even
his idea???
Even though they stated that they were just friends, speculation kept on occurring after
Kris posted a photo from this fated hang sesh to Instagram. On top of that, a month later,
she and Ben were seen at a Kanye West concert together, so naturally, the internet started
to jump to a few conclusions.
On top of all that, Kris trolled everyone with this photo of her, Ben, and a friend
with the caption “date night.” So...were they dating? Or were they just toying with
everyone’s emotions?
We aren’t too sure, but probably, considering Kris’s sister Karen allegedly told a source,
“I texted her about Ben the Bachelor the other day and asked if they were dating. She
said it was more of a business deal.”
Our next lucky Bachelor contender is one with a smile that can be seen from miles away.
And it seems as though we weren't the only ones that got weak at the knees for that dashing
smile.
Fans were quick to fall in love with the dashing Mike Johnson even though Hannah Brown didn’t.
Although she had her eyes set on other guys Demi Lovato had her dead set on Mike. When
Mike was sent home Demi quickly took to Instagram and claimed her affection for the Bachelorette
contender posting
“Mike I accept your rose” It didn’t take long after for Mike to start
commenting on her bikini pics and eventually asking her out on a date. Mike said that they
went for dinner and a movie and although he is single his intentions are completely set
on Demi. When asked about what is happening between
the two Mike said, “I’m just getting to know Demi. I think she’s absolutely fantastic
and I don’t want no pressure on her, no pressure on me, we’re just trying to get
to know each other. That’s all.” One of Demi’s sources, on the other hand,
said “Demi was definitely interested in Mike at one point, but it was short-lived
and she wasn’t ever planning on dating him seriously.”
So what happened to the two almost lovebirds?? Unfortunately, our man went on iHeart Radio’s
Almost Famous podcast and told the whole world that Demi “kisses really well,” so yeah,
they didn’t go on another date after that. Clearly, Demi isn’t about dating boys who
kiss and tell as she immediately ended their VERY brief almost relationship.
Even though Demi made it clear that she had no intention of taking anything further, Mike
wasn’t ready to take no for an answer. The Bachelorette star is very optimistic about
reconciling things with Demi in the future… Even though two weeks later Mike very publicly
asked TV host Kiki Palmer out...on national television, leaving her feeling very awkward
as she desperately tried to skip to the next question.
Seems as though this Bachelorette contender got a little Fame Thirsty!!
And then there is our favorite Bachelor celebrity combo that we felt we just had to leave for
last! If you are a fan of Bachelor Nation then you will know one of the series all-time
favorites Wells Adams. Wells Adams gunned for Jojo Fletcher's affection
in season twelve but was unfortunately sent home after a rather awkward one on one date.
At the time many Bachelor fans weren’t too sure how they felt about the guy since he
didn’t make that much of an impression during his first appearance on the show.
But he soon won the hearts of every fan involved when he appeared on The Bachelor’s spinoff
Bachelor in Paradise. Although he wasn’t actively involved in finding love on the show,
he would play the role of a bartender giving the contestants some advice regarding their
drama. And trust us, there was a lot!
Viewers already knew that Wells was a bit of a nerd, but luckily for him, it paid off.
As he might not have found love on the show, but he did manage to catch the eye of Modern
Family star, Sarah Hyland. During the Men Tell All episode he made references to both
Lord of the Flies and Harry Potter immediately stealing Hyland’s heart. She quickly tweeted
“Ugh! @wellsadams making a Lord of the Flies reference on men tell all??? #knewhewasthebestfromthestart
#menwhoreadarehot.
and
“Also @wellsadams compared Chad to Voldemort. #potterheadsarethebest”
Wells Adams could hardly believe that someone as famous as Sarah would notice him, but he
saw the window of opportunity and slid right into those DM’s.
Before long, these two were spotted hanging in the same place and doing all the couple
things like matching Halloween costumes and spending the Holidays together. That’s basically
how you say you’re committed in the 21st century right?
Sarah and Wells spent the next few years being insanely adorable on social media. Can we
please talk about this anniversary post Wells dedicated to Sarah, in which he mentions the
first time they said, “I love you”? If that doesn’t make you weak in the knees
we don’t know what will.
Flash forward to the summer of 2019 where Wells surprised Sarah with a proposal while
they were on vacation. Not even Chris Harrison could scheme a cuter engagement and he does
that for a living.
