New love!

Fans first met Bachelor Nation star Carly Waddell on Season 19 of “The Bachelor,” and she returned to our screens for Seasons 2 and 3 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”

Carly found love in “Paradise” and got engaged to fellow Bachelor Nation star Evan Bass. The two got married on Season 4 of “Paradise” and welcomed two children together during their marriage.

In December 2020, the couple announced their decision to split, and they’ve been co-parenting their kids Bella and Charlie ever since.

Now, Carly is taking to social media to open up about her new relationship with lawyer Todd Allen Tressler.

Carly first shared how the two met after she saw him on local news being interviewed about his business.

She slid into his DMs and the rest was history!

Carly said, “I have left him out of my social media presence while I made sure my kids loved him and while I made sure I did too. So, here’s what I have been up to all year. Loving my lovable lawyer who also told me that I taught him what real love is, and he has done the same for me.”

The Bachelor Nation star shared a favorite moment from when Todd surprised her when she was on tour with Nick Carter last year.

She shared a video of the sweet moment and wrote, “I forgot to share one of my favorite moments of last year with yall. Which obviously happened before I shared I had a boyfriend at all….for many reasons. Butttttt on my last night of the Nick Carter tour, Todd surprised me by showing up a few hours before the show in Maryland. I had ZERO clue. We were going to lunch and I turned the corner and thought ‘hey, that guy has shoes like Todd, I should text him I saw another person with Tennessee orange on their shoes.’”

Carly went on, writing, “Turns out he had gotten in about 30 seconds before us, after a 5 a.m. flight, and sat down at a table waiting to surprise me, before another 5am flight out the next day to head to a Tennessee vols game. I always thought I hated surprises. But he flipped the script on that one. He came to a lot of my shows with @samsardina. Helped drive us. Cheer us on. Carry Sam’s guitar. Buy us late night gf pizza. And told us we were amazing on and off stage. Todd, love you.”
