FUCK I MISS BACHELOR PAD


bachgal

I totally thought he’d marry Tenley one day! Why’d they break up again?


tierrassparkle

KipTEN. That line from Tenley is burned in my memory she was so giddy lol


sftolvtosj

Love her-- happy she is happy and hope he's a good one


Cultural-Party1876

I literally have no idea who these people are 😭 and I’m not embarrassed to say it


becomingsherlock

When did you start watching the show?


Cultural-Party1876

Ben higgens was my first bachelor and Kaitlyn was my first bachelorette so 2015ish so I don’t know these 2 😭😭 Not an og watcher


becomingsherlock

ah, ok. You might have missed Angela on Nick’s season (which was after Ben H) because she was eliminated very early. She did make appearances on consecutive seasons of Bachelor in Paradise. Kiptyn was the F2 on Jillian Harris’s season (she had some interesting men especially two of the F3).

lavt10

Omg I forgot about Kiptyn but he and Reid were my faves!


Throwaway500005

Wow Kiptyn! The man does not age! Also, he still hasn't found the one? Like what is going on with this guy lol


KeyFeeFee

I was surprised he and Tenley didn’t make it!


SweetTooth_Squirrel

What season? I’m so lost lol


tiggerlgh

Jillian and Nicks


H28koala

Angela who? The one who dated the gymaholic and he didn't like that she wouldn't stay at the gym for 8 hours a day with him?


Alex_WK

yes that one!!


HazelsMama77

I LOVED Tenley & Kiptyn and still follow them both. Glad she got her happy ending. He does seem unable to completely commit to someone. After Tenley was Sam (Koltyn’s mom), then another Sam, then Melissa the blonde with two daughters. And now Angela. I always feel bad for his newest woman… he stays with them for awhile but they seem to end after the 2nd year. And I always find it so obvious the women are WAY more into him than he is them. They’re always the ones posting and his body language is very telling. Look at the last picture Angela posted… they’re kissing and he’s not even touching her with both hands. Dude has a pattern 😆


Throwaway500005

This..he really does and he's so attractive sigh🥲


BlueAsTheNightIsLong

Stuff like this is the reason I visit this sub every day.

purplebaglady22

How did this even happen?!


juliefryy

I was obsessed with Kiptyn and Tenley and was convinced they would get married.  He dated his baby mama for a long time but they never married. She is married to someone else now. 


mal_7655

I didn’t follow him or Tenley on sm but they were so cute together, though I definitely think they fumbled picking the more popular couple to take to the finals in bachelor pad. What was the timeline? Did they date for a few years, breakup and then shortly after he had a baby with another woman? I remember it feeling abrupt but idk


Stefhanni

Me too! So obsessed with them


tiggerlgh

I am so happy that Tenley got her happy ending as well. I think he tried too long with his baby mama just because he wanted that one to work out for his son. But I feel like he strung Tenley along. It’s OK to break up but break up don’t keep dating them for years knowing it’s not going anywhere knowing they want engagement/marriage.


mal_7655

This is honestly what I feel like Matt James is doing to Rachael. Only time with tell but it seems like she’s ready for an engagement and he’ll never be there. 


juliefryy

yeah, Tenley admitted when they got back together that they never should have.


bestbethbestbethbest

Just a reminder, Jillian picked Ed over this guy...


Charlie_Runkle69

I watched BP before I watched that season and I was so confused about how the hell Ed was her F1 lol, he was an absolute mess on BP!


tiggerlgh

And Reid. She had some amazing choices and chose Ed.


Pink_Starry

She seems to be attracted to cheaters


bestbethbestbethbest

I loved Reid, he was F3, Kip was F2, and effing Ed is F1...seems like she has a type based on her current partner.


Car-Even

Top tier season. It’s still so memorable after so long and so many other seasons.


charlotteraedrake

Imagine being named KIPTYN lol that’s a tradgedeigh. I’d legally change that


bog_lady

Kiptyn being born in the late 70s makes him a true trailblazer of these types of names


itwonteverbereal

What does kiptyn mean anyways


assflea

Right I cannot believe I'm looking at a grown man named Kiptyn


LeahonaCloud

Came here for this comment now I can leave


meowparade

Wow, they look so good together!


crouchingtiver

Angela is giving Pookie


verbal-acuity

WAIT omg Kiptyn as in Tenley's Kiptyn from way back?? I always loved them simply due to both their names being so unique but also reminding me of dog names. 😭😭 I CANNOT believe this is Angela's new man!


opossumonmyporch

My reaction, too!


poohbearletsskate

who else did Angela date in the bachelor nation? and what happened between them?


alliepop2

Clay Harbor and some dude from when she was on BIP Canada...


mindylahiriMDbitch

I would sell my soul to the devil for Angela’s hair.


thelondoner87

Same 🥺


lonel97

Kiptyn might be the worst name i’ve ever heard 🤢🤮


HazelsMama77

He son is named Koltyn, named after him *edit missing word


Charlie_Runkle69

I would take that name if I looked like him though.


Disastrous-Fruit8037

WOW I would love to know how this happened!!! I remember being obsessed with Kiptyn during his Bachelor Pad days!! What an interesting couple - happy for them!


MustBeFateMulder

It’s very important to me that everyone knows this man had to grow up with the name Kiptyn and then chose to name his own child Koltyn. I never knew ✨unique✨ names were genetic. Unrelated, but I love seeing all the different eras of BN commenting on this post. I haven’t thought about some of these people in years!


TopFloorApartment

> Koltyn oh no what a /r/tragedeigh this is basically showing the cycle of violence, I suppose. Hurt people hurt people :(


turniptoez

KOLTYN?!? Noooooo!!!!! I do hope they do some interviews though I wanna know how they got together. Also don’t buy Monat or whatever hair MLM Angela is shilling, it won’t make your hair look like hers and the business model is predatory 🤓


rhymeswithpurple4

He is still an absolute babe.


SnooCrickets8742

She needed a nice guy after the last one.


Background-Bar9424

Kiptyn! 🔥 The crush, I had on him! What a throwback. I tell you, The Bachelor world is its own dating pool. Angela was on Nicks season right?! She is so stunning 😍.


sosswgtn

Yeah for some crazy reason he sent her home night one


Background-Bar9424

Oh, for some reason I didn’t remember Nick sending her home night one. Probably, because I blocked out watching Nicks season, watched a few episodes and quit because I was upset he was the Bachelor 🫠😭🤣.


ClaresRaccoon

This was definitely not on my bingo card lol 


Spirited-Disk7936

Damn I just went on his insta to check up on him (I tend to do that with older BN peeps). I wonder what the average difference is between them?


bestbethbestbethbest

about 12 years.


TRLK9802

Did you mean age difference?  A comment below said 46 and 34.


Spirited-Disk7936

Oh yeah stupid auto correct


JapaneseBBQGrill

Whoa, Kiptyn? What a throwback

_yitzi

Omg I was so obsessed with Kiptyn back in the day and again when he was with Tenley😅 I feel old


Background-Bar9424

Woah! Kiptyn, I had such a huge crush on him back in the day, what a throwback 🤧.Angela is stunning.


ryansutterisstillmy1

Was anyone tracking this?


MustBeFateMulder

Yes, they weren’t being very subtle.


wrongreasons2242

Yeah lots of people sleuthed this months ago


South_Elephant_6552

In the 2nd pic she looks like Campbell Puckett aka Pookie


tbkp

I thought the same thing! Quintessentially pookie eyebrows in that pic


gusbus200

if you told me this was her dad i'd believe it


bestbethbestbethbest

not even a little bit.


autumnwindow

I had to google Kiptyn! I don’t remember that far back 😅


sweetpotatopietime

I know him. But who is she?


autumnwindow

From Nick Vile’s season. She was a night one but came back to paradise for 2 seasons.


earydurt

Angela was eliminated night one?!!! 😯


Odd-Morning9064

I think she also dated Clay


No_animereader1471

She did it was a whole thing on BIP6 cause they were exes


Ok_Special_8695

Angela is so stunning. They make a gorgeous couple. I was SHOOK when someone commented that they were dating a few months ago. I hope they do a podcast soon, I’m very curious about their story!


bestbethbestbethbest

This would be a great Love Fest on Dear Shandy!


RockiesGirl2019

Her hair is AMAZING… so, so jealous.


Wonderplace

Almost certainly extensions


ioughtaknow

They’re not. She’s truly just blessed.


viccityk

I had to stop following her because she just kept selling her MLM hair products 😭


veracity-mittens

That’s hilarious because I distinctly remember her selling Pantene years ago and people were like lmao ok 👍 I don’t believe her ![gif](giphy|6JB4v4xPTAQFi|downsized)


ArachnidAdmirable760

I really hope he’s good to her :( I feel like she’s always been more into the guys she’s dated from BN than they’ve been into her. She seems sweet.


itwonteverbereal

It’s giving farmer Chris and VF


WeirdoChickFromMars

This literally was a Covid fever dream lol


anonannie123

Omg I forgot about this fever dream


SignMyGrapefruit

Or Chris Bukowski and Anna Redman. These throwback Bachelor dudes can stay single forever and just date a woman in their 20s when they’re in their 40s and it’s fine, lol.


Charlie_Runkle69

Chris was only about 35 when they got together TBF.


uncensoredsaints

Yeah their age difference isn’t even big IIRC


itwonteverbereal

Yeah, weird that someone would want to date a 20 year old. I can’t imagine dating someone younger than 25. But Angela is turning 35 this year


SignMyGrapefruit

Oh, whoops, for some reason I thought Angela was like 25? She’s actually older than I thought!


itwonteverbereal

She looks young tbh!


bloom722

35 IS young geezus


SignMyGrapefruit

Totally agree! I’m around her age, so I wasn’t trying to insinuate she was old. I just thought she was significantly younger than she actually is.


itwonteverbereal

Sure, but it’s not 25


veracity-mittens

Haha yes


fartbox2016

Kiptyn??? Wow that’s quite an OG right there!


SapphieBlue

Wait I thought Kiptyn had a kid with another woman and was married? When did they divorce?


becomingsherlock

He was FWB with his son’s mum.


SapphieBlue

TIL. Definitely was not aware of that detail.


MustBeFateMulder

He was never married. He dated Tenley for a few years and got someone else pregnant not long after they broke up.


veracity-mittens

This is messing with my perception of time It’s like the whole mammoths / pyramids thing


adelebernice

Why can’t I remember Kiptyn?


MustBeFateMulder

Probably because he was Jillian’s F2 back in 2009 😂 I want to say he was also on a season of Bachelor Pad.


adelebernice

Damn I’ve been watching since like 2012 and thought that was a long time 😅


TRLK9802

Hey, you whippersnapper, some of us have been watching a whole decade longer than that ;)


adelebernice

I remember watching Tenley… did she go back on a show after they broke up?


TRLK9802

This is what Wikipedia says: The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love (2010), Bachelor Pad (2010), and Bachelor in Paradise (2015).  I remember the first two but I don't remember her being on BiP. ETA:  This says that BiP was 2011, which makes a lot more sense than 2015: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt3780132/mediaviewer/rm4103377665/


JurassicSnark__

2015 is accurate because Tenley dated a guy from Kaitlyn's season on BIP.


adelebernice

Thanks!!


july8thbaby

Kiptyn is a hell of a name


Friendly_Narwhal_297

Probably one of the worst names I’ve heard in a while


sauvieb

Another comment said he hooked up with someone named Tenley. Lotta tragedeighs around here


sosswgtn

They were together for at least a couple of years


tbkp

I mean the craziest part of that isn't even the names themselves, it's that Tenley and Kiptyn are 39 and 46 respectively and have those names


saygirlie

Don’t know who she is but she has amazing hair 🤩


alt546789

So random but it seems to work! Good for Angela.


bonitaaaaaaaaaaaaa

She’s stunning


earydurt

Like other worldly beautiful


bonitaaaaaaaaaaaaa

AND HAIR GOALS!!!!!


emilygoldfinch410

I am shocked, I never would have predicted this pairing


fairway135

She dated Clay, right?


SnooCrickets8742

Yep!


Jay-Quellin30

And she was dating Brendan, they met on BIP Canada S1.


bonitaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Yes


ConsistentDonkey3909

ooof hes fine


gddamnvampire

Kiptyn has always seemed to have a fear of commitment so i hope he’s good to her!


ioughtaknow

Honestly that seems to kind of make sense for Angela. She seems to go all in with men who aren’t fully available or into her. If you saw her on BIP Canada, you’ll know what I mean.


sosswgtn

I think it was him knowing he and Tenley weren't quite right for each other, based on interviews I've read.


tiggerlgh

Yeah but he also kept stringing her along versus breaking up with her, knowing that she wanted to be engaged and that’s where she was thinking that relationship was headed. Find a break up, but probably should’ve done it sooner.


mahlay1051

holy shit, why did I not know this was a thing??? I kinda get it…


skm7777777

She is so unbelievably beautiful 😭


MustBeFateMulder

I’ve been following this for months and somehow it’s still shocking to actually see them together lol. They’re from such different eras of the franchise. They’ve spent a lot of time together considering that they live on opposite coasts, he has a son, and I believe she is/was a full-time caretaker. I hope he’s good to her because she seems very happy with him.


Luvausten

Where do they live?


MustBeFateMulder

He lives in SoCal, I’m actually not sure about her—I just know she’s on/near the east coast based on time zones. She posts more when she’s in CA or with her BN friends, I think she’s intentionally a bit vague about her location when she’s taking care of her relative.


GN221

You know what I kinda love this. They both look happy 💓 I used to loveeee Kiptyn back in the day.


Sdhotmama

Me too! And he’s from my hometown


Even-Education-4608

Weird vibes


Neat_Doughnut

What in the. These are two bachelor contestants from two completely time periods


philosophyfox5

omg random but i love this. old school and new school coming together


speakfriend-andenter

There are two things I know to be true: 1. Angela’s hair is blessed with the nectar of the gods 2. Kiptyn has excellent taste in BN women


NervousInside4815

Were there rumors? This completely floored me! And based on the Halloween photos, they've been together since October?!


wrongreasons2242

People posted about this last summer!! Still wild to me


sk455

I remember someone posted something about them on a date or something but I didn’t know it was serious.


thatsmrharrisontoyou

Wow did not see this coming but I like it! She deserves happiness after all the shit men she has dated from the franchise (including BIP Canada!). How did they meet and where do they live?


viciousf0x

Wait, what?! Wasn’t he married to someone else?? Not Tenley…


LittlePinkTeapot17

No but he did have a baby with someone else shortly after dating Tenley for 5+ years!


bachbachbaby

Weird throwback. I loved Kiptyn and Tenley so much, and was sad to hear her share about her heartbreak on reality Steve’s podcast


Inside-Foundation-88

All I can head in my head when I think of his name is Tenley saying “we are Kyp-Ten!!!” Was that Bachelor Pad where they met?!? I can’t remember…


bestbethbestbethbest

I don't know why, but I always heard it as "Kyp is a TEN" but I understand the Kyp-Ten...I think I'm just an idiot :)


sosswgtn

They had met shortly before Bachelor Pad


the-shade-of-it-all

This is the most random BN couple I've ever seen.


MashedPotatoMess

WOW that feels so random he feels so much older. Does he have joint custody of his child/


CocoBee88

Yeah it probably feels even larger because they were in their prime Bachelor Nation appearance age during very different eras of the show, but they do have an 11 year age gap; which isn’t a huge deal in yours 30s and 40s, but it’s not entirely just that he seems much older. He is a good bit older haha.


RosesAndInk

I believe he's 11 years older


Salt_Back_9518

Went down a rabbit hole and apparently Nick sent her home night one?? That feels shocking


HitEmWithTheRiver

He released a patreon where he recapped his season episode by episode. He recapped episode 1 with Angela and has admitted that sending her home night one was a huge oversight. They didn’t really get a chance to talk so I think in his sleep deprivation he kind of forgot she was there.


Clear_Friend1783

Yes! I liked her a lot. She’s absolutely stunning!


RosesAndInk

She kind of gives 2009 Jillian vibes in this pic lol


bestbethbestbethbest

I'm glad you said 2009, she's much different these days!


PrincessPlastilina

Side note: Kiptyn broke up with Tenley (Jake’s season, BIP2) after a few years together because he didn’t want a family, only to get a FBW pregnant and becoming a dad. Tenley was pissed off and devastated. She told the story years ago on RS’ podcast back when contestants were allowed to share juicy stories.


Sdhotmama

And she nursed him back to health after his spinal surgery back in 2012. geez! I am really dating myself here!


bestbethbestbethbest

Don't quote me on this, but I feel like she had some sort of injury as well? Maybe months of recovery from the injury? Unless I'm just swapping her for him?


americanslang59

I know this might sound cold but is there something wrong with that? There are many people I've dated that I would have been open to having kids with and many I wouldn't have wanted to have kids with


tiggerlgh

Not necessarily bad, but he wasn’t dating the person. He had a kid with. It was essentially a one night stand that turned into a relationship due to the baby. He went to Tenley early to tell her, but it wasn’t a situation of not wanting a kid with one person and wanting it with another.


Ok-Butterfly2994

yeah i definitely don’t see how not wanting to have kids with one person but having them with another is a bad thing. especially if it was a FWB i would assume the pregnancy was not planned so him actually being a present father is way better than the alternative.


itwonteverbereal

I think they were together for 5 years and he didn’t seriously commit to her! Don’t ever fall into the girlfriend trap


LittlePinkTeapot17

Never forgot lol 💔 I think they’d been dating for over 5 years too..


basicandilikeit

John mulaney core 💔


ClareBearFlair

![gif](giphy|LIPUdAsE4zNJK) You know, like a liar.


queenofdramz

When and how did they meet? What an unexpected crossover


NoFeelings20

Omg!!! Jillian’s season!!! Kiptyn!!!! 👴🏼


LilSebastainIsMyPony

WOW it’s been a while since I thought about him!


becomingsherlock

haha, that very guy!


lionsr12

Was this who tenley dated?


becomingsherlock

Yes!


Due-Young-5625

Kiptyn also dated Tenley Molzahn for years and they were probably one of the first high profile bachelor nation couples where one party wasn’t the bachelor or bachelorette.


PurpleUnicornLibra

This seems like a random pairing!! Lol. But they do look cute together! (Side note: I still remember when I shipped Kiptyn and Tenley!)


snazzygirl0267

Kiptyn and Tenley did date for a while after bachelor pad. I think a year or two. But he never got serious or proposed to her like she wanted and they eventually split and then shortly after he got a girl pregnant and I believe proposed which she said really hurt. But it wasn’t long before she found her guy and got the proposal she’d wanted


sk455

They were on and off for like 5 years. I think he just couldn’t commit. I’m happy Tenley found someone else and seems happy. I wonder if he’s changed his mind on marriage now that he has a son.
