Are Bachelor in Paradise’s Kylee and Aven Still Together? Fan Seemingly Spots Them After 2nd Breakup
Kylee Russell and Aven Jones left season 9 of Bachelor in Paradise as a couple but they weren’t on the best terms when they departed the beach. They split shortly after the finale aired but have since sparked reconciliation speculation.
When Did Kylee and Aven Start Dating?
Kylee and Aven met on season 9 of Bachelor in Paradise, which filmed during the summer of 2023. The postpartum nurse was one of the first arrivals on the beach and admitted that she was hoping to meet Aven because he had “liked” and commented on several of her Instagram posts before the show.
Before Aven arrived, Kylee went on a date with Will Urena, but she dumped him to pursue Aven when he showed up in Mexico.
What Problems Did Kylee and Aven Face on ‘Bachelor in Paradise’?
Kylee and Aven were one of the strongest couples on the show. However, when it came time to make big decisions about the future, they realized they weren’t on the same page. Kylee made it clear that she came to the beach to get engaged but Aven wasn’t ready to take that step after just a few weeks.
“As much as I believe in Paradise, I can’t not compare it to shifting the same dynamics in the real world,” he admitted. “I can’t do it. I don’t want this to be a dealbreaker for us. I’m not willing to lose her over an engagement in Paradise.”
Kylee was frustrated that Aven wouldn’t give her the proposal that she wanted.
Did Kylee and Aven Get Engaged on ‘Bachelor in Paradise’?
In the end, Kylee wasn’t willing to give up on her relationship with Aven. They decided to leave the beach as a couple but did not get engaged.
The show’s finale on December 7, 2023, featured a “Where are They Now?” montage about the season 9 contestants. The update on Kylee and Aven revealed that they were still together at the time.
One day after the season finale, Kylee and Aven posted photos with each other on Instagram. Fans speculated that they had even moved in together because the photo shoot images appeared to be showing off home decor.
“If you believe in something, it’s worth fighting for,” Aven captioned the pics. “Don’t give up on what really matters and the only thing that matters is you.”
Why Did Bachelor in Paradise’s Kylee and Aven Split?
Unfortunately, the love didn’t last between Kylee and Aven. On December 9, 2023, just two days after the BiP finale, she announced that they had split and accused Aven of cheating.
“Following our relationship announcement yesterday, I want to thank my God he did not allow me to live another day in the dark,” Kylee shared on Instagram. “In the last 24 hours I have been grasping with the fact that one of the most important relationships in my life has dissolved due to multiple infidelities. This is not just a show but my real life and for the foreseeable future I will be in a time of healing and trying to put the puzzle pieces of my life back together. Please respect my privacy at this time.”
On December 10, 2023, Aven responded with a message of his own and seemingly confirmed that he was unfaithful.
“After careful thought and consideration into writing this I want to first and foremost apologize to Kylee, my family and my friends for my actions,” he wrote. “I have made major mistakes in the relationship and hurt someone who was very close to me. At this time, I am in an extremely extremely low place trying to work on myself. I am doing my best to find healing, find myself and be a better person. Please have grace and respect for Kylee and her family through this difficult time.”
Both reality stars deleted the photo shoot pictures from their pages after confirming the breakup.
The following month, Kylee appeared on “The Viall Files” podcast and opened up about Aven’s infidelity. She said another woman DMed her and said, “Aven cheated on you on July 22 in Santa Monica. I’m just now finding out he wasn’t single.” After doing her research and realizing that Aven was, in fact, in Santa Monica on July 22, Kylee said she received “full blown evidence” that her boyfriend had been unfaithful in the form of a photo of him in another woman’s bed the morning after their hookup.
Kylee said she confronted Aven about the situation and he admitted that he cheated. He also told her that he stepped out on their relationship on two trips home to Boston. “He said, ‘Both times I went home to Boston, I rekindled with an old childhood friend who I’ve known for years and used to have feelings for,’” Kylee shared. “‘Both times we hooked up and I was going to tell you but I was told not to because she didn’t want to be involved.’”
Are Bachelor in Paradise’s Kylee and Aven Still Together?
Kylee and Aven appear to have reconciled since the split. On November 10, 2024, DeuxMoi posted a photo of the two at the airport in Mexico together. The image was sent in after they both posted separately from Mexico on Instagram a few days prior. Aven revealed that he took the trip for his 31st birthday, which Kylee appeared to have been celebrating with him.
This came less than four months after Kylee shocked fans by revealing that she and Aven had previously gotten back together and split during summer 2024. She appeared on the July 24 episode of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast and revealed that Aven broke up with her a few weeks prior.
Deal of the Day

He was there for me. He was providing for me. It was great.”
Kylee revealed that Aven approached her in early June 2024 with concerns that she was “holding back” in the relationship, even though he was putting in the work to prove she could trust him. After the “tough conversation” things started going “really, really good,” according to Kylee, which is why she was “shocked” when he later ended things.
“I don’t really want to speak for him but basically what he had to say was some days he felt like he would wake up and he would think he had such great hopes for us, think we would get to where we needed to be to have a forever future together,” she shared. “Other days he woke up and he was just like, ‘There’s so much damage that I have done personally. I don’t think our relationship will ever recover from that.’”
At the time, she said the “door is closed” on them getting back together, but the apparent airport photo surfaced just months later.
