[Spoiler alert: Bachelor in Paradise Season 9 spoilers ahead regarding Kylee Russell and Aven Jones.]
Are ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Season 9 stars Kylee Russell and Aven Jones still together?
Bachelor in Paradise Season 9 showed the evolution of Kylee Russell and Aven Jones’ relationship. At the start of the season, Kylee mentioned she was interested in getting to know Aven. While the two didn’t connect before hitting the beach, Kylee said they occasionally exchanged emojis on Instagram that potentially indicated a love connection.
According to spoilers from Reality Steve, Kylee and Aven didn’t leave the show engaged. But are they still together? It appears they are.
“An update on a Bachelor in Paradise couple,” Reality Steve said on the Daily Roundup podcast. “I don’t know what happened to them on the show, but clearly post-show, they are together. I’m assuming they either left as a couple but didn’t go to the Fantasy Suites. I don’t believe they got engaged at the end. I don’t think they were there at the end. It is very clear that Aven and Kylee are together.”
Reality Steve noted that the couple posted from the Jason Aldean concert in August 2023 after Paradise finished filming. They also posted photos “from literally the same exact section of the Carolina Panther’s game,” the spoiler guru added.
Several months have elapsed since the end of Paradise, so the honeymoon phase may be over for Aven and Kylee. Even so, evidence suggests they continue to date.

But she wanted Aven to reach out, as she had a crush on him since before Zach Shallcross’ season of The Bachelor.
“The internet really shook us,” Kylee said. ” … I mean, I had a crush on him prior to going on Zach’s season, but never in a million years did I think that he would like me back. So, unfortunately, he never sent me a DM before walking to the beach. And I hated that because I wanted to know, like, is this guy interested in me? He’s really the only one I have my eyes on.”
