Aaron, who showed up to Bachelor in Paradise's eighth season as a duo with James, shared his reaction to James' new romance in a funny TikTok video.

Aaron wrote, "James is taken. Taken away from me," along with a sad face.

In the video, Aaron wrote, "Trying to hang out with James now that he has a GF," over footage of him mouthing the following dialogue: "He doesn't want to. Tell him. I already told him. Well, tell him again! He already said no. Well, make him say yes!"

Aaron created the TikTok video after fans teased him about losing James as his partner in crime.

"Someone check on Aaron Clancy," one fan wrote on James' relationship announcement.

And another Instagram user commented, "Aaron is really rocking that bikini!"

When James debuted Rebecca to the world, she was showing off her lean body in a bikini, and James was flexing his muscles in swim trunks.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY @rebeccamarriee. I am beyond grateful to have you in my life and I am truly blessed to be able to share this special day with you, and many more to come," James captioned a photo of the couple kissing.

He continued, "You deserve all the happiness that the world has to offer. I love you."

According to Rebecca's Instagram account, she's an insurance analyst and fitness enthusiast who lives in San Diego.

James and Aaron first met when they competed on Season 17 of The Bachelorette starring Katie Thurston.

The pair became very close friends, pretty much inseparable, when they filmed Bachelor in Paradise's seventh season in 2021.

On Bachelor in Paradise's eighth season, which recently wrapped on ABC, Aaron and James were welcomed onto the beach as a pair, proving that they were still in a bromance.

James got involved in a love triangle with Shanae Ankney, but he was sent packing when Shanae chose Logan Palmer over Aaron's best friend.

Meanwhile, Aaron dated Genevieve Parisi in Paradise and fell in love with her.

However, Aaron dumped Genevieve after the Final Rose Ceremony and before overnight Fantasy Suite dates, claiming that their fights were unhealthy and she essentially isn't his person.

Aaron has been the subject of scrutiny in recent weeks. He has been accused of using Genevieve just to stay in Paradise -- and remain on-camera -- for as long as possible.

And according to one of Aaron's alleged ex-girlfriends, he was allegedly playing two women shortly before leaving San Diego to film Bachelor in Paradise in Mexico.

Aaron was allegedly dating two women, simultaneously, from around September 2021 through May 2022. Bachelor in Paradise filmed in June, and Aaron appears to currently be dating one of the women he had left behind to film the show.

Aaron has denied allegations he was a two-timer and also claimed he never left to film Paradise with the intention of reuniting with one of his former flames once he returned home.

However, the woman who had come forward with the accusations to Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone fired back, insisting Aaron is a liar and a cheat.
