Romeo left the beach with Kira on ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ 2022
On Bachelor in Paradise 2022, Romeo initially turned down Kira to pursue Jill, though things didn’t work out between them. Kira then had her eye on Jacob, but she was sent home after the first rose ceremony.
Later, Jill returned to the beach to express her feelings for Jacob, but by then, he was involved with Jill. As Kira walked along the coast, Romeo stopped to chat with her.
Kira then suggested they leave the beach together — and it took Romeo a while to answer. He eventually agreed. After the episode aired, Bachelor Fantake Tweeted, “According to my editing program Romeo’s pause from last night’s episode was 43 seconds long.” Kira herself wrote, “That’s a long pause, Romeo!!!!”
Kira and Romeo join in on Bachelor Nation’s jokes about their relationship
Bachelor Nation made other jokes about the couple, especially Romeo’s expression during the ITM interviews after he agreed to leave the beach. “Romeo honestly looks like he is leaving Paradise against his will even though he agreed. It took like 2 minutes for him to finally say all right, but he looks scared,” one Twitter user joked.
Kira and Romeo luckily have a great sense of humor about the jokes and memes that follow them. They recently posted of video of Kira “updating” fans on their relationship. “We are still very happy,” Kira said in the video. “It’s hard to make a bi-coastal relationship work, but you know, we’re really managing.”
“Actually, right now, he’s visiting me, and we just ran a couple of errands,” she continued. Kira suddenly gasped, “Oh no! I forgot him in the trunk!” The video then showed Romeo in the boot of her car. Kira, however, assured fans that this has only happened two times. Romeo also made a Tik Tok with Kira where he made the same “scared” face from Bachelor in Paradise and bit his lip.
