James confirmed he was fine with the situation, particularly because his relationship with Tia was starting to fizzle out. Then Tia and co-host Becca Kufrin revealed Aaron never spoke to Chelsea after the Paradise Prom kiss.
“I don’t think he ever [had a conversation with Chelsea],” Tia said. “It made it really uncomfortable. … I asked him about it multiple times. I was like, ‘Hey, have you talked to Chelsea about this? How does she feel about this. Where do you stand with her?’”
James added, “In hindsight, I think maybe Aaron should’ve done that.”
The romance between Aaron and Tia was short-lived on Bachelor in Paradise Season 7. But it seems like the cast has plenty to share about their experience following the finale. So stay tuned for any updates.
