Brayden Bowers Follows His Own Rules Amid ‘BIP’ Love Triangle
Brayden Bowers is the center of a love triangle with Kat Izzo and Rachel Recchia this season on BIP. He explains how he followed his own rules when it came to romance.
How Many Earrings Did Brayden Bowers Bring To Paradise?
Brayden Bowers was more than just the villain of Bachelorette Season 27. He was also something of a fashion icon. Or at least someone who followed their own fashion trends.
He made waves among the audience for his vast variety of earrings. Not just any earrings, but dangly earrings with feathers or chunky gold hoops.
Charity Lawson wasn’t turned off by his eccentricities, giving Bowers the First Impression Rose on Night 1. However, he quit on his own in Week 4, saying the dating show wasn’t for him.
Lawson got engaged to Dotun Olubeko in the season finale. Click here for the latest update on their wedding.
Despite saying the ABC dating franchise wasn’t for him, Brayden Bowers is one of the Bachelor Nation cast-offs on Season 9 of Bachelor In Paradise. And he brought 34 pairs of earrings with him!
Kat Izzo Keeps An Eye Out For Someone Else
Early BIP spoilers hinted at that Brayden Bowers and Kat Izzo coupled up early in the season. But Bachelorette star Hannah Brown appeared in the last episode to stoke the flames of drama by poking holes in the burgeoning relationships.
For Izzo and Bowers, that meant finding out that they weren’t on the same page romantically. While Brayden Bowers was all in, Kat Izzo was keeping an eye out for Tyler Norris and Tanner Courtad to arrive at the beach.
“I’m the type of guy [that] when I make a decision to get to know somebody, I’m kind of committed to one person. I don’t do well with dating multiple people at once,” Bowers told Us Weekly about his initial relationship with Kat Izzo.
A preview for the upcoming Oct. 12 episode shows both men arriving in Mexico. That doesn’t bode well for Izzo and Bowers’ connection.

Brayden Bowers On Making His Own Rules Amid ‘BIP’ Love Triangle
“I know that Paradise is really open and doesn’t have rules, but for me, I have my own rules and I think that’s kind of more so just what I followed,” the Bachelorette alum said about his dating philosophy.
After his romance with Kat Izzo fizzled, Us Weekly reveals that he moved on to Season 19 Bachelorette Rachel Recchia.
“I think the better question would be instead of what are the good traits about her, what are some of the bad traits that wouldn’t make you date her? Because I feel like those are very few. So she’s a great girl,” he told the outlet about Recchia.
However, he didn’t give away any spoilers for how the season ends. Instead, he encouraged people to watch, promising a “wild ride.”
Do you think Rachel Recchia or Kat Izz is the better match for Brayden Bowers? Let us know in the comments below. Bachelor In Paradise airs Thursdays at 9 PM Eastern on ABC. Don’t miss a second of the drama.
