Spilling the tea.
Bachelor Nation got to know and love Kylee Russell on Season 27 of “The Bachelor” and Season 9 of “Bachelor in Paradise,” which she left in a relationship with Aven Jones.
Since her time on the show, the two have broken up and rekindled their relationship multiple times.
But now, Kylee has revealed on the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast that she and Aven are officially “no longer together.”
She shared, “I’m glad to finally close that chapter. I know there’s an elephant in the room: Aven and I are no longer together. And I think I’m okay with that — actually I know I’m okay with that.”
Continuing, Kylee expressed, “We’re just both two very different people who want two very different things in life… I think it’s time to officially close that chapter and move on and actually find my person.”
Kylee revealed that she began envisioning a future with Aven and could see herself starting a family with him but ultimately realized that they wanted different things in life.
Since then, the Bachelor Nation star moved back to the East Coast to be closer to her family and has been discovering what she wants.
And part of what she wants is to find her match, which might just be one of the men from Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of “The Bachelorette.”
While chatting with Rachel Recchia and Charity Lawson, Kylee confessed needing a date to Charity’s upcoming wedding and the bride-to-be suggested Shane Parton to be her plus one.
“Okay, well, if you approve, I trust you with my life Charity,” Kylee said. “Obviously, I’ve never met him, but we do follow each other on Instagram. And from what I can see, like from the outside, he looks really good. Obviously, there’s a lot of things we gotta figure out, make sure he checks all the boxes, but I wouldn’t be opposed to that.”
She continued, “[It’s] kind of perfect! I mean, like I said, I would not be opposed but I guess we gotta see if Shane’s on board with this. Put in some good words for me.”
