Before Becca Tilley’s (guest) appearance on ‘The Bachelor,’ learn who she’s dating now!
Mrs. Carter: Tonight’s new episode of “The Bachelor” is chock full of guests…
As many of you who are diehard viewers of this show are likely very much aware at this point, ABC does love to throw some various big-name guests out there for more of their dates. It draws some star power and social-media buzz, and at the same time it also does help them to fill the cracks in the event that there are no meltdowns among the various members of the cast.
What’s a little more interesting about tonight is that you’re going to see the return of two Bachelor Nation alumni in Ashley Iaconetti and Becca Tilley for the Backstreet Boys date tonight, and it’s not altogether clear why either one of them is necessarily there. Neither one of them is trying to do what Nick did on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season and join the show late, and we haven’t heard anything suggesting that they’re around to be “judges” of any sort. Maybe they’ll have some input with Nick, or maybe they just wanted to show up and meet the Backstreet Boys. For pretty much any person who is now between the ages of 25-34, there is probably a point in your life where you either idolized the guys or were at least acutely aware of them. Their music was inescapable for a rather long time!
Given that we see them the two of them again (we’re assuming that ABC will feature them, given that they were in promotional photos), it’s understandable to wonder what the state of their own dating lives are at the moment — given that they were on a show about dating, they’ve always been fairly open about them.
While we don’t have any specific update regarding Ashley, we can tell you that Becca, who’s appeared on two different seasons of “The Bachelor” with Chris Soules and then Ben Higgins, is now dating Robert Graham from “The Bachelorette” and “Bachelor in Paradise.” They’ve been together now for a couple of months, and if the relationship does end up working, it could be a great sign that even when you don’t actually do a show together (Becca’s never been to Paradise), there is still a reasonably good chance that you can find love with someone else who’s been a part of the show. Just from the past two years alone, there are six couples who are either engaged or married: Kaitlyn / Shawn Booth, Jade Roper / Tanner Tolbert, Ben / Lauren Bushnell, JoJo Fletcher / Jordan Rodgers, and Evan Bass / Carly Waddell.
