While we’re currently waiting to see if new Bachelor In Paradise arrival Jackson Garlick is going to give his rose to Brittany Weldon or Cass Mamone, it seems he may have already found love in Fiji (but not with who you’d expect).
A source told Woman’s Day that Jackson and a producer ended up leaving paradise together. “She [the producer] had her eyes on a lot of the boys but she ended up hooking up with Jackson,” the source told the publication, adding that the two hit it off so much they continued their romance after filming finished.
“They were seeing each other quite a bit after the show – they definitely gave it a red hot go.”
It’s also not the first time that a producer has started a fling with one of the Bachie stars. The publication goes on to note that one female producer was fired from The Bachelorette after she became “too involved with the boys and forgot about her job and what she was there to do!”
In 2019’s season of The Bachelor, featuring Matt Agnew, a flirtation between a producer and a contestant was even used as a storyline.
Rachael Arahill gave one of the producers behind the camera her number, which left other girls in the mansion seething.
“Rachael tried cracking onto the producer in front of the girls…She had no shame, but for everyone else, it was really uncomfortable to watch,” a source said at the time. “She was caught multiple times writing her number down on pieces of paper and had some of the girls in the house hand it to him!”
Back in 2010 on Jake Pavelka’s season of The Bachelor U.S., bachelorette Rozlyn Papa was accused of hooking up with a crew member during filming, and subsequently was confronted by host Chris Harrison and sent home.
Then there were allegations of the same thing happening between one of the contestants in The Bachelor Australia’s Richie Strahan season and a member of the crew. Although no-one was ever named.
I guess you can find love in Paradise.
