Opening up.

Fans got to know Serene Russell and Brendan Morais on Bachelor Nation shows throughout the years.

Serene first appeared on Season 26 of “The Bachelor” and Brendan was on Season 16 of “The Bachelorette.” Then, Serene and Brendan both famously found love on the beaches of “Bachelor in Paradise” on Seasons 8 and 7, respectively. 

While their on-screen relationships didn’t end up working out, the two hard-launched their off-screen relationship earlier this year.

The couple is currently dating long distance, as Brendan lives in Los Angeles and Serene lives in Oklahoma City. 

And now, the two Bachelor Nation stars are sharing how they make their long-distance relationship work. 

While chatting exclusively with Us Weekly, Serene revealed, “Pretty much since we have been officially together, we’ve seen each other multiple times a month… I think there was only one stretch of time that it went further than, like, three, four weeks.”

Brendan also chimed in and shared part of their daily routine that has helped make long-distance dating so successful. 

He said, “We successfully FaceTime every day. I usually get a call around 8 in the morning. It’s either she’s coming to L.A. or I’m going to Oklahoma City. It’s been a good balance of seeing each other in each other’s city, and she’s come to Massachusetts once to meet my family and everything. It’s been really fun. It keeps things fresh and exciting.”

The two then shared their biggest piece of advice for those currently searching for love.

Brendan said, “I would just say that life is funny in a way where you can have a million bad dates or a million bad boyfriends or girlfriends, but when you meet that one special person, it just negates all the bad that you’ve been through in your life — as far as relationship wise — and wipes that all away… Keep going, keep moving forward. It just takes that one person, that one special moment to make you forget about all the relationships that didn’t work out.” 

And Serene added, “Really pour into yourself and make sure that you’re an entirely whole person on your own… Giving yourself that love that you would want out of a partner before you meet them.”
