Are Brendan Morais and Pieper James dating? The couple showed their true colors on ‘Bachelor in Paradise’
Natasha Parker quickly became a fan favorite after week 4 of Paradise. Natasha’s Bachelor in Paradise stint has been rocky from the start, as she initially clicked with Brendan and hoped to pursue him on the beach. Prior to Pieper’s arrival, the two appeared to develop a connection — and Natasha seemed hopeful that Brendan remained interested in her. Unfortunately, the truth came out during part 1 of week 4.
Once Pieper entered the scene, everything changed. Pieper and Brendan took full advantage of Bachelor in Paradise and went on a date together — and it was clear the two had a serious connection outside of the show. Brendan then admitted he had to take certain steps with others to ensure he’d remain on the beach for Pieper’s arrival. Pieper then noted, “Thanks for playing the game.”
Natasha then approached both Pieper and Brendan separately to learn of their situation — and it was clear Pieper and Brendan were together for the long haul. Then, in another scene, Brendan Morais’ Instagram and Pieper James’ Instagrams came up, as the two talked about their followers.
