In 2019, Colton Underwood sent two of his final three home to go after Cassie Randolph, even though she said she wasn’t ready, and dated for a while after the show.
Obviously, if this turns out to be true, it will not be the most shocking thing to have happened in the world of The Bachelor.
Even that romance did not end well, so it’s probably for the best that Matt doesn’t propose if he’s not quite feeling like it’s the right move.
There is only one Bachelor who did propose on the show and actually married that woman, a recent past Bachelor season saw the lead and his Final Rose leave the show without becoming engaged.
