Carly Waddell Reveals If There’s Any Chance of ‘Rekindling’ Relationship with Ex Evan Bass
Spilling the tea.
Bachelor Nation fans first met Carly Waddell on Season 19 of "The Bachelor" before she found love on "Bachelor in Paradise" with Evan Bass. The two got married, welcomed kids Bella and Charlie, and later split in 2020.
In 2024, Carly went public with her relationship with Todd Allen Tressler, and the couple got engaged in the fall during a family trip to Costa Rica.
While Carly was talking about wedding plans and more children last year, just a few months later she revealed the engagement was over.
Now, Carly is taking to her Instagram Stories for a Q&A about dating and relationships, where she opened up about her past romances.
She shared that she “doesn’t know” what her ex-fiancé Todd is up to and “doesn’t care.”
The Bachelor Nation star also said she’s not back in the dating world at the moment and is focused on herself and her kids.
One fan asked if there was “any chance of rekindling anything with Evan?” and Carly got candid with her answer.
She laughed and said, “I don’t know, I’m about to see him at a singing event for Bella at her school, so should I make my move? Just kidding!”
Carly and Evan have both been open about how their relationship now is focused on co-parenting their kids and wishing the best for each other, with nothing romantic between them.
We continue to wish them and their family the best, and we love hearing updates from Carly.
