As a big fan of “The Bachelor,” Sarah Hyland first spotted Wells Adams on JoJo Fletcher’s season.

While appearing on the recent season of “Bachelor in Paradise,” Wells gushed about their relationship.

“A lot of people talk about love at first sight and all that kind of stuff, or like you immediately knew, and I never believed that. And then I found my person and I knew that it was over, you know? I remember that first night hanging out with Sarah, and I think I texted my sister being like, ‘Well, I found who I’m going to marry. We’ll see what happens.’ And look at us now. I can’t live without her. She’s like oxygen to me,” Wells said.

Rachel even captioned a photo of them together, “He slid into her…dms # sheaccepted.” While Nick did admit they “hung out,” he chose to be coy about the exact status of their relationship.

“I’m not really defining any relationships these days. But I do think she has a great Instagram and it is very easy to comment on her content,” he said shortly after their online interactions.

January Jones also had a moment with Nick Viall after exchanging some flirty messages on Instagram. At the time, January insisted they were just friends, but years later, she admitted that the pair had gone on a “couple of dates.”

4. Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato had a brief romance with Mike Johnson, who had previously been a contestant on Hannah Brown’s season of “The Bachelorette.” While the season was airing, Demi shared her support for Mike — which eventually turned into some flirty Instagram posts. When Mike was eventually sent home, Demi made her move, publicly declaring her affection for the reality star. Following Mike’s run on “Bachelor In Paradise,” he and Demi ended up going on several dates.

“I’m just getting to know Demi,” he said at the time. “I think she’s absolutely fantastic, and I don’t want no pressure on her, no pressure on me — we’re just trying to get to know each other. That’s all.”

Things eventually fizzled out for the couple and they went their separate ways.

Things eventually ended between the couple, but Tyler looks back at their relationship fondly.
