Stars of Bachelor In Paradise season 6, Caelynn Miller-Keyes and Dean Unglert recently had fans speculating that the couple eloped after Caelynn shared a cryptic Instagram story. Dean and Caelynn became fan favorites when they were first introduced on The Bachelorette and The Bachelor, respectively. Though both Bachelor Nation stars stirred up drama when they went on Bachelor in Paradise, they quickly bonded after meeting each other on the beach.
The chemistry between Caelynn and Dean was palpable, and the two exchanged roses throughout the show. However, towards the end of the season Dean began to get cold feet. Dean decided that he and Caelynn weren’t compatible, and he left Caelynn devastated after breaking up with her on her birthday. But after the show, Caelynn and Dean gave their relationship another shot away from the cameras, and have been together ever since. The pair traveled and lived out of Dean’s van for several months and later they bought a house together in Nevada. Though the unexpected Bachelor in Paradise couple have exchanged promise rings, they’ve maintained that getting married is not on their radar.
The couple recently spoke about a possible engagement, and how it would be Caelynn, not Dean, who would be getting down on one knee, but Caelynn’s latest Instagram story has followers wondering if they skipped past the proposal and decided to get married. The video clip shows Caelynn and Dean happily embracing and staring lovingly into each others’ eyes, while Dean is wearing a suit jacket, and Caelynn, a conspicuous white dress. Caelynn didn’t offer any comment to the clip, aside from tagging Dean, and it certainly seems to imply the couple recently wed. Though Bachelor in Paradise stars Caelynn and Dean have been vocal about holding off on getting married, or not getting married at all, the couple is also known for being spontaneous, so a spur-of-the-moment decision to elope wouldn’t be too surprising.
On Reddit, u/amu724 started a thread dedicated to unraveling the mystery behind Caelynn’s latest Instagram update. The fan felt that the clip was “giving wedding vibes.” Commenters in the thread were divided about whether the video was proof of a wedding. “We’re soft launching weddings now?” u/ocdewitt questioned, wondering if Caelynn and Dean were testing the waters before revealing the big news. u/Niecey2019 chimed in, adding “Good for them if they’re getting married. Glad they’re doing things their way.” Though not every fan was convinced that the couple has tied the knot, they were still impressed that Dean and Caelynn’s relationship has lasted so long.
The cryptic Instagram clip has sparked a lot of speculation and rumors, partly because Dean has always come across as someone who’s scared of commitment. A lot of Bachelor Nation fans never expected the couple to last because they couldn’t picture Dean settling down or Caelynn adapting to Dean’s lifestyle. But the Bachelor in Paradise couple has proved the skeptics wrong, and whether they eloped or not, Dean and Caelynn seem very happy together.
