Opening up.

Bachelor Nation got to know and love Parisa Shifteh on Season 29 of “The Bachelor” and again on Season 10 of “Bachelor in Paradise,” where she coupled up with Brian Autz.

After filming, however, they went their separate ways. And Parisa later shared on the “Bachelor in Paradise: Unplugged” reunion podcast that she had started seeing someone new.

Now, Parisa is on “Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour” to dish on her new relationship and reveal where she currently stands with Brian. 

While talking about her beau, Parisa told the story of how she and her boyfriend Gabe Stone met. 

“We met last year, it was actually a weird coincidence,” she said, “but we happened to be on vacation both at the same time in Miami. And that’s where our paths crossed. And when I was asking him more about who he was, he was telling me he’s from Chicago. And at that time when I met him, Chicago was a city that I was looking to move to. I was just like, ‘Oh, my gosh, wow, from Chicago, okay.’ And also when I met him, that next week I also had a girls trip planned with Sarafeina, Dina, and Litia. We were gonna go to Chicago and stay with Dina.” 

She continued, “I’m just meeting him now in Miami and I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m going to be in your city next week.’ So it was easier — you know when you first meet someone, it’s kind of nerve-wracking to plan the next time you see them. It was really nice to be with my girls at that time and just set it up like, ‘Oh, just meet us out. Meet us out for drinks after dinner.’”

Parisa talked about how her relationship with Gabe has been different from others, and they are happily in love. She also shared one feature that she loves most about him. 

“The initiation he takes with asking me questions to get to know me but really to get to know me deep in here, like, my thought process, how I think of things, and our communication styles, and all of that,” she said. “Just our time together, it just feels very connected.”

While Parisa is unsure if he’s “the one” just yet, she expressed her happiness and revealed they’re talking about moving in together. 

The Bachelor Nation star also reflected on her time in “Bachelor in Paradise” and admitted that she no longer speaks to Brian.

She stated, “I had a lot of moments while we were there in ‘Paradise’ where you get those gut moments. And as a woman, you never wanna listen to your gut, but then you always know in the end that you should’ve listened to it. And just always, like you have in those times, you’re like, ‘No, this is different, this is different.’ It wasn’t different.”
