"We are in a great relationship now, and that makes life a million times better," Jeremy told Kathy Swarts and Susan Noles when asked how he's doing during a recent appearance on the "Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour" podcast.

Jeremy revealed, however, that he and Bailey are "not officially" living together.
"I am back and forth between New York and Atlanta," Bailey shared.

"I do have a closet [at his place] and I have stuff in the closet. I have lots of my stuff there... but I feel like we have enjoyed life so much more together after the show... and not being in the bubble. Things have calmed down."
When asked how their relationship has grown since meeting on Bachelor in Paradise's tenth season in Summer 2025, Bailey said, "Every day, [we] fall more in love and learn more things about each other. Now, we've met [each other's] families and have spent holidays [together]."
Bailey also got to meet Jeremy's grandparents in Florida, where she spent Hanukkah. Jeremy then traveled to Atlanta to spend Christmas with her family.
"We've just been busy," Bailey noted.
"We spend most days together," Jeremy confirmed. "We've essentially been in a five-year relationship at this point."

"Yeah," Bailey agreed, "sometimes I forget that we haven't been dating for years. Paradise moves things along very quickly."
Bailey gushed about how she and Jeremy are "really comfortable" with each other and don't even mind sitting in silence together.
"We enjoy spending time together, and we really enjoy a lot of the same things," Bailey said.

Jeremy added that the longest he and Bailey have been apart was about three weeks back in September when Bailey was working in China.

In terms of their daily life together, Jeremy still works full-time in property management in New York and then cooks Bailey dinner when he gets home.
"We're kind of ready to get out of the city," Jeremy admitted, adding how he's "kind of sick" of New York but the pair plans to take things day by day.
Bailey said she loves Atlanta and they'd like to end up somewhere warm with plenty of sunshine.
"And we need a little bit more room," Bailey quipped.
Although the couple is in love, Bailey said they don't have any engagement plans.

"Not yet. We're young," Bailey noted.
"If there were any plans," Jeremy interjected, "I would've taken the free ring on [Bachelor in Paradise]."
Bailey confirmed that she and Jeremy "are in no rush to get engaged" and they're just enjoying time together.
Jeremy paired up with Bailey for the first few days of Bachelor in Paradise's tenth season, but then he enjoyed a great date with Susie Evans and seemed torn between the two women.
After making a difficult decision, Jeremy ended up giving Bailey his rose, resulting in Susie's early and unexpected elimination.
Once Susie was gone, Jeremy thought he and Bailey were all in, but then Bailey accepted a date with Andrew Spencer.
Bailey's decision made Jeremy spiral and question everything, and so he called Susie on the phone and begged her to return to Paradise so they could give their romance another shot.

Susie, clearly feeling emotionally depleted after her reunion with ex-boyfriend Justin Glaze on the show days earlier, declined Jeremy's offer.
Since Bailey ran back into Jeremy's arms after her date with Andrew, Jeremy resumed dating her.
However, Jeremy continued to miss Susie and mention her frequently to his friends, according to Bachelor in Paradise footage. At one point, he said he regretted giving Bailey his rose.

Jeremy was even shown joking to Brian Autz that he'd propose marriage to Susie on the spot if she returned to Paradise.
Jeremy never told Bailey about the phone call or his lingering feelings for Susie, and so Brian took it upon himself to spill the beans once the show introduced a competitive element with money on the line.
Bailey was devastated and nearly quit Paradise, especially because neither Jeremy or a single one of her girlfriends had told her about the situation.
But Jeremy begged Bailey to stay and insisted that he truly cared for her and only had eyes for her at that point.
Jeremy and Bailey continued to grow their connection and were eventually voted out of Bachelor in Paradise by their peers, missing out on a shot to win up to $500,000 in the finale.
However, the pair decided to become boyfriend and girlfriend, officially, before leaving Costa Rica.
The pair then faced a lot of backlash from Bachelor Nation.
Jeremy was slammed for lying by omission to Bailey, and Bailey received criticism for choosing to stay with a man who pretty clearly preferred another woman, at least for a short period of time.
"I've made some stupid mistakes that me and her have obviously talked about a million times before the show -- before it aired and while it aired," Jeremy admitted during the Bachelor in Paradise 10 reunion.
"I wish I could take some of them back... I acted like a child."
Jeremy concluded, "At the end of the day, we have pretty thick skin and we know what we have... We just try not to let people get to us."
