Was she really alone and willing to mingle?
Victoria Paul, who left “Bachelor in Paradise” soon, confirmed that she was single while filming the show after it was rumored that she had had a relationship.
Paul clarified via Instagram Monday night that he was previously dating aspiring musician Teddy Robb, but that the couple broke up before the show began its seventh season.
“@Teddyrobb and I broke up in May and have remained great friends. Ask the man, ”Paul, 28, wrote in a post on his Instagram story.
According to Distractify, filming for this season’s “Bachelor in Paradise” did not begin until a month later.
She and Robb appear to be in good condition, as she referred to him as the “best father and dog friend.”
Paul provided proof of his breakup with a screenshot of a time-stamping message from 12 weeks ago, in which a fan asked him if he had any advice on going through a breakup. Paul responded, saying, “I am actually walking this season. You know that joy can still be found in the midst of uncertainty: give it grace … and yourself too! “
For those still skeptical, Robb took to his own Instagram to corroborate Paul’s story on Monday.
“To all of you who asked @victorianpaul and I were leaving before she continued with @bachelorinparadise,” she said, adding, “It didn’t go well for us, but we’re in good condition and I wish her the best.”
He then shared that he has never had to address such a thing and told fans, “Be kind around here.”
Paul, who first appeared in the franchise in Peter Weber’s 2020 season of “The Bachelor,” was accused by his stars Tammy Ly and Kelsey Weir of only appearing on the show to help her alleged boyfriend with the his musical career.
And despite apparently finding a connection to contestant James Bonsall, Paul decided to leave the show before tensions escalated.
“I think the best thing I have to do is take everyone, imperfect myself and get away from it. I hope he gets away from it with the love of his life, ”he told Bonsall, who ended up giving his rose to contestant Demi Burnett at the end of the night.
