Before season 16 Bachelorette Tayshia Adams met her now-fiancé, Zac Clark, she had a handful of significant relationships. The Bachelor Nation fan-favorite first came onto the scene during season 23 of The Bachelor in 2019, where she competed for Colton Underwood‘s heart alongside eventual winner Cassie Randolph.
The retired football player broke things off with her and fellow runner-up Hannah Godwin to pursue Cassie at the end of the season. The loss came after another big blow in Tayshia’s love life — her divorce from ex-husband and longtime love Joshua Bourelle.
The former phlebotomist explained on the show that he was her first boyfriend and that during the six years they were together, she fought for their relationship. “You can’t make someone want to be married,” Tayshia told Colton at the time.
After losing out on love during The Bachelor, the California native went on to compete on season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise in 2019. Tayshia met Bachelorette alum John Paul Jones while appearing on the series and romanced him until just before the finale when they split.
However, they rekindled their relationship before the After the Final Rose special. Tayshia and John Paul broke up for good in October 2019. She mentioned after their second split that “communication” was a big issue for them while they were together.
“I learned from a previous relationship that I’m very much so over communicative, but that’s all I can do,” Tayshia explained on the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast shortly after their breakup. “What he can do is listen to that and try to navigate that relationship with that information I’m giving him. If you’re choosing to have that stuff go in one ear and out the other, that’s on you.”
Life & Style broke the news that Tayshia would be replacing leading lady Clare Crawley midway through season 16 after the hairstylist “fell in love” with contestant Dale Moss after less than two weeks of filming. The couple is now engaged, and thankfully, Tayshia got her happily ever after, too!
