While they didn’t get engaged per the show standard, the couple did date for a little under two years. Their breakup originally seemed amicable. However, a few months later, Randolph filed for a restraining order against her ex. Additionally, she filed a police report claiming Underwood stalked her.

She dropped the police report and the restraining order shortly afterward, amid rumors of a settlement between the two. Neither has shared specific details of the incident.
