‘Bachelor In Paradise’ Couple Hard Launches Relationship After Exit
Season 10 of Bachelor In Paradise isn’t over yet, and we already know the show launched at least one couple. Two contestants who were eliminated from the current season revealed on social media that they’re dating. Keep reading for all the juicy details.
Reality Steve Broke The News Earlier This Month
Reality Steve has been spoiling all things Bachelor Nation since 2009. He got a tip that Jason Mesnick’s Bachelor season ended in chaos when Jason dumped Melissa Rycroft for his runner-up, Molly Malaney. Jason and Molly are now married with kids.
The spoiler guru’s sources aren’t always right, but they usually are. In addition to inside sources, Reality Steve relies on fans of the show spotting stars from the franchise ‘in the wild.’ One fan sent Reality Steve a message in July that they’d seen Season 10 Bachelor In Paradise contestants Sam McKinney and Alli Jo Hinkes on what looked to be a date.
Sam McKinney was among the first eliminations of the season. Alli Jo stayed on the show long enough to cause drama between Kat and Dale.
Alli Jo and Sam further fueled speculation with an innocent photo. Fans spotted Alli Jo’s manicure in a photo that Sam posted on social media.

Sam captioned the snapshot, “Sometimes… You just gotta do it your d*mn self. Be a force and #StayRelentless.”

Despite the relationship being the worst-kept secret, some of the comments on the hard launch were of shock. Jesse Palmer wrote, “It happened?!?!?”
Fans Beg For Season 10 Reunion Show
Sam McKinney and Alli Jo’s relationship is somewhat surprising because they weren’t on the beach together at all. He went home before she arrived. However, when asked in interviews before the show premiered, he said that he was most interested in the possibility of meeting Alli Jo on the show.
How exactly the romance came to be is still under wraps. Bachelor In Paradise fans are begging for a reunion show so they can find out more about Alli Jo and Sam.
Viewers still have weeks to go to see which Season 10 couples last to the end of the show. If no other couple survives, at least fans can root for Alli Jo Hinkes and Sam McKinney.
What do you think about them as a couple? Are they perfectly matched? Sound off in the comments.
