Caelynn and Dean Relationship Timeline
Caelynn and Dean met on season six of “Bachelor in Paradise” in the summer of 2019. At the time, Caelynn was a recent addition to the franchise having made her reality TV debut on Colton Underwood’s season of the “Bachelor” earlier that year. Dean, on the other hand, was a veteran of the franchise by the time he met Caelynn.
He first appeared on Rachel Lindsay’s season of the “Bachelorette” in 2017 where he made it to the final four. He later appeared on season four of “Bachelor in Paradise” where he got caught in a love triangle between Danielle Lombard and Kristina Schulman. He returned to the franchise again for “Bachelor: Winter Games” in 2018. He formed a connection with Lesley Murphy on the show and the two dated for a bit after filming wrapped. They called it quits in April 2018.
When Dean returned to the sandy beaches of Paradise for season six, he was adamant he did not want a serious relationship. He took Caelynn on a date and the two became an item on the beach. A few episodes later, Dean broke up with Caelynn and left the beach.
“Our lifestyles are not going to be compatible coming out of this. And I don’t want to give you something that isn’t going to make you happy,” he told her, Us Weekly reported. “I just think that you deserve someone better than me, to be perfectly honest.”
But that is not where their love story ends. Dean returned to the beach later in the season and asked Caelynn to leave with him and start their relationship. Caelynn struggled with the decision as she had just started forming a connection with Connor Saeli, but ultimately she chose Dean.
In December 2019, Dean told Us Weekly that marriage was not in their future.
“[Caelynn] does joke around about us getting married all the time, and I always say, ‘Sorry, it’s not going to happen,’” he told the outlet. “I don’t know, I’m super unconventional and she obviously is a little more conventional. We joke around about it. Just try to keep expectations to a minimum, you know? Like I said on the show, underpromise, overdeliver.”
According to Us Weekly, the couple took a big step in their relationship in April 2021 when they moved into a home together in Las Vegas.
