Becca Tilley and Hayley Kiyoko
The Bachelor star Becca Tilley started dating Hayley Kiyoko in 2018 but did not confirm their relationship until 2022, when they embraced and kissed at the singer's release party for her single "For The Girls."
"My last relationship was pretty public and out there and I've kind of got to the point where I'm like, 'Am I able to keep anything to myself?'" Tilley said of seeing someone again. "So in this process of dating and going through that again I've been trying to keep it more low-key … it's been tricky, it's a tough world out there the dating world."
Ben Flajnik and Kris Jenner
Ben Flajnik was linked to several celebrities, including Kris Jenner, before his appearance on The Bachelor in 2012. He claimed he was asked to stop hanging out with the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum, who was still married to Caitlyn Jenner at the time, as they sparked affair rumors.
"[They] called me up and were like, 'What are you doing? Stop,'" said Ben during his appearance on the "She's All Bach" podcast. "I was like, 'What? She's really nice!'"
Despite what happened, he remained friends with the momager and her family.
"They kept inviting me to things and I'm a friendly guy. We just — they'd come up here. Kanye [West] played a show in Oakland. My buddy and I were just, like, on the stage with Kanye. The normal things that one would do. They were very gracious and very nice to me, so I have nothing but kind things to say about that family," he continued.
Flajnik and Jenner also constantly denied the dating rumors.
Colton Underwood and Lucy Hale
Shortly after his 2020 split from Cassie Randolph, Colton Underwood began his short-lived romance with Lucy Hale.
"They've hung out a few times. They are very casually dating — it's been so complicated to date (in general) during the pandemic," a source told People at the time.
Although they split, the Pretty Little Liars alum supported him when he came out as g-- in 2021.
Courtney Robertson and Jesse Metcalfe
After their 2004 meeting, Courtney Robertson and Jesse Metcalfe immediately hit it off and began dating. According to the model, her then-boyfriend was "exciting and passionate" but "a total mess."
"As much as I liked Jesse, I never felt like I could trust him," she wrote in her 2014 autobiography, adding, "I can count on three hands the guys I've slept with — and I've never cheated on anyone."
They eventually found themselves parting ways after Robertson saw paparazzi photos of Metcalfe making out with a blonde woman in Venice Beach. The actor claimed he was going to Palm Springs for a short vacation.
Lauren Bushnell and Chris Lane
The Bachelor alum Lauren Bushnell Lane also found love outside the dating show when she met country singer Chris Lane at a radio event in 2015.

They are parents to their two baby boys, Dutton and Baker.
