Former ”Bachelor” and “Bachelorette” contestants returned to ABC’s “Bachelor Pad,” which premiered this past Monday – and this time around, some of the former contestants tell Access that they just may have found love.
“I was kind of skeptical [thinking], ‘Is it really possible that true romantic relationships can be formed here?’” co-host Melissa Rycroft confessed to Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush. “And, more than I thought. More than one, more than two!”
Could Tenley Molzhan (“The Bachelor,” Season 14) and Kiptyn Locke (“The Bachelorette,” Season 5) be one of those pairs?
“I could be a couple coming out of the show,” Tenley coyly told Access during the week of show’s premiere. “We’ll have to see how things go, but definitely on last night’s episode you could see there was some excitement when Kiptyn and I saw each other in the house. At that point, I didn’t know if it was mutual, so we’ll have to see.”
Tenley further hinted at the pairing when asked if she’d entertain being the next “Bachelorette.”
“Well, if I’m in a relationship, I probably couldn’t be the next ‘Bachelorette,’” Tenley explained. “I don’t know how that would work.”
Other budding relationships on “The Bachelor Pad” include a connection between Natalie Getz (“The Bachelor,” Season 13) and Jesse Beck (“The Bachelorette,” Season 6), and a tumultuous romance between Elizabeth Kitt (“The Bachelor,” Season 14) and Jesse Kovacs (“The Bachelorette,” Season 5).
Access also caught up with Elizabeth this week, who foreshadowed some upcoming drama regarding her pairing with Jesse Kovacs.
“We’re gonna have to watch and see where Kovacs and I take our relationship. I think everyone will be shocked and surprised to see where it goes,” Elizabeth explained.
If you’re rooting for others to find love – including potentially Gia, Peyton or the weatherman, Jonathan – according to co-host Melissa, everyone gets their fair share of lovin’.
“Everybody gets action at one point,” Melissa told Access’ Billy Bush.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Melissa Rycroft, to whom Jason Mesnick infamously proposed and then later broke up with on Season 13 of “The Bachelor,” found love with ex-boyfriend Ty Strickland, and the two are now expecting a new addition to their family.
“There’s a little bun in here,” Melissa told Billy, patting her stomach. “A little one.”
“I have Mr. Strickland’s baby, yeah. No rumor about that,” Melissa said with a laugh.
