Colton Underwood and Cassie Randolph’s relationship
Randolph and Underwood met during Underwood’s season of The Bachelor. They opted to continue dating normally after the season ended instead of getting engaged. After the show, the two seemed to be happy together and Randolph even took care of Underwood when he contracted COVID-19. But after over a year of dating, the pair unexpectedly called it quits. Later, Randolph got a restraining order against Underwood after receiving texts from him from unknown numbers and finding a tracking device on her car. She later dropped the restraining order.

“I’ve ran from myself for a long time,” he said on the show. “I’ve hated myself for a long time, and I’m gay. And I came to terms with that earlier this year and have been processing it. The next step in all of this was letting people know. I’m still nervous. It’s been a journey, for sure.
“I’m emotional, but in such a good, happy, positive way,” he continued. “I’m the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever been in my life, and that means the world to me.”

“Regarding the topic in the media that brought my name up this week, just wanted to let you know that I’m not gonna be further discussing it or commenting on it for now. There’s a lot of layers to it and I just feel like the best thing for me at this time is to move forward and just focus on going forward.”
Randolph did go on to say that she might change her mind in the future and speak more about her feelings on what happened.
