Update 9/5: During the BiP season 10 reunion on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast, Brian and Parisa opened up about where they currently stand...and as fans already predicted, these two are done. While they remain “still good, close friends,” the couple decided to end things after Paradise.
As Parisa explained, she and Sean have “different schedules” but “tried” to make their romance work before waving “the white flag.” She added, “I think, also, too I wanted something different in a relationship compared to what Brian wanted. Nothing wrong with that, I think a lot of this comes down to compatibility.”
Oh, and apparently, Parisa even has a new boyfriend! During the episode, she mentioned that she’s “seeing someone” new, and though Brian asked, “What’s his name?” Parisa decided not to spill any more deets.
You can watch the full reunion below:
Original story 8/19: Bachelor in Paradise said goodbye to Brian Autz and Parisa Shifteh on Monday after the couple was voted out by their peers—and while the two were very much in a romantic relationship when they left Costa Rica, it’s now time to ask the question: Are Bachelor in Paradise’s Brian and Parisa still together?
Despite Brian telling the cameras that he and Parisa were “strong and happy and excited for the future,” all signs, unfortunately, point to “no.” Granted, neither Brian nor Parisa has confirmed or denied anything about their current relationship status, but their social media activity definitely points to a breakup.
After the episode aired, Brian posted a still on his Instagram Story, tagging Parisa and referring to himself and his partner as “bad asses.” He also echoed her parting sentiment on the show, writing, “Heads held high.”
Meanwhile, Parisa shared the same photo to her Stories, though she doesn't appear to have tagged Brian. More than that, the post was a reshare from fellow Bachelor in Paradise cast member Lea Cayanan, in which Lea labeled Brian and Parisa “Siblings.” Ouch!
Two posts with two very different energies. Add in the fact that Brian and Parisa don’t even follow each other on Instagram, and it’s not hard to deduce that these two are very much not together post-BiP, even if they haven’t confirmed it.
Another telling clue about their relationship status is Parisa’s latest post to the grid. “My idea of WINNING 🫶🏻,” she captioned a video featuring the BiP female cast members frolicking on the beach—not a man in sight.
Meanwhile, Reality Steve reported a few days ago that Brian and Parisa are not together, and that Parisa even has a new boyfriend. The two are expected to attend the rumored Bachelor in Paradise season 10 reunion, however, and despite the fact that they have yet to film (or confirm), Reality Steve teased, “I would expect fireworks between [Parisa] and Brian at the reunion.” Yikes!
As for the reason for the split, we’ll have to wait to find out, but whatever happened, it seems that the two did not end on good terms. The fact that Parisa didn’t tag Brian in her Stories is definitely a clue—but the real kicker is over on Parisa’s TikTok, where she’s shared multiple videos hinting at a bad breakup.
For instance: On July 28, she shared a TikTok showing off her “PowerPoint night” presentation, “a behavioral case study on a boy.”
There is a clown emoji blocking the headline of the presentation, but you can spot something that looks an awful lot like “Bri-” if you squint. Parisa also liked a comment from a fan who said it was about Brian.
Sometimes, what happens in Paradise really does stay in Paradise.
