'The Bachelor' Fan Allegedly Finds John Paul Jones on Dating Site Match.com
Is John Paul Jones from The Bachelorette now looking for love offscreen and online? The Maryland native competed on Hannah Brown's season last year, then joined Bachelor in Paradise for a memorable season while trying to vy for Tayshia Adams' love. Although he and Tayshia, who was featured on Colton Underwood's season of The Bachelor, did begin dating after the show concluded, they soon split.
JPJ was then linked to a model named Victoria Rose Strehlow, who he posted photos with on social media. However, she hasn't been featured on his Instagram since January, and a fan has reason to believe he might be ready to move on. Reddit user napoleondiethylamide posted alleged photo proof to the Bachelor SubReddit this week, which showed the reality star's profile on dating website Match.com. You can see the pic here.
The Redditor explained that she lives in Annapolis, Maryland, and stumbled upon JPJ's page after "[deciding] to try online dating." His profile dates that he's 25 years old and from Maryland. Along with his featured image, it all checks out. Plus, considering the photo the fan shared is a picture of a computer screen, I'd say it looks pretty real. Of course, fellow Reddit fans are loving this alleged discovery. "You should match with him, go on a date, and then update us here!," one wrote. If they can find out if this is the real John Paul Jones, then we agree.
However, other users urged the person to be careful, as this could totally be a case of catfishing. One was quick to point out that the profile only says "John," not "John Paul Jones," and we all know how much JPJ loves using his full name.
If JPJ is single and ready to mingle, does that mean we could we see him on another season of Paradise? Honestly, I hope so.
