‘Bachelor in Paradise’ finale: Are Cody Sattler and Michelle Money, Marcus Grodd and Lacy Faddoul still together?

Tonight, “Bachelor in Paradise” may have come to a close, but there still is more of the story to be told than what we unfortunately had on the episode itself.

With no “After the Final Rose” special on the show, we’re instead left to ask the following question after the fact: Are the two couples who left the show together still that way? The answer to this right now is “definitely.” Marcus Grodd and Lacy Faddoul are still engaged, and Cody Sattler and Michelle Money, are well. The latter have not reached that point in their relationship just yet, but they have spent time together and clearly are planning for some sort of future.

While this may not be “The Bachelor” or “The Bachelorette,” we have seen that other offshoots of this franchise have produced couples in the past. Just look at Holly and Blake on “Bachelor Pad,” which left Michael Stagliano heartbroken and out on his own? This is really just one example of some of what we’ve seen, since there are other couples who have met and tried to make things work in real life.

Ultimately, the big priorities for all of these couples right now should begin with them finding a way to make things work in the real world, and that includes eventually making a firm commitment and doing what normal people do. That can be difficult while you are waiting for a show to air, but now there is no need to run around and hide what you are doing to not surprise viewers.

Are you glad that these people are all still together? Share in the comments below, and head over here right now in the event that you want to see more coverage on the show. Also, sign up now for more TV updates via our CarterMatt Newsletter.
