'Bachelor in Paradise' couple Jeremy Simon and Bailey Taylor Brown taking next step in relationship

Bachelor in Paradise couple Jeremy Simon and Bailey Taylor Brown have announced that they're taking their relationship to the next level.


Jeremy and Bailey endured a lot of ups and downs during their time on Bachelor in Paradise's tenth season, but when they got voted out by their peers prior to the finale, they left as a strong couple.

In a finale update, ABC revealed on September 2, "Jeremy and Bailey have met each other's families. They're making plans to call the same city home later this year. [Susie Evans] who?"

Jeremy -- who lives in New York, and Bailey, who currently resides in Atlanta, GA -- opened up about what happened after the show during Part 1 of the Bachelor in Paradise cast reunion.


"We definitely restarted our relationship. I think we were really happy with the foundation and things that we really got to know about each other in Paradise," Bailey shared with host Wells Adams during the September 4 episode of the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast.

"I feel like we've honestly spent so much time with each other this summer, just traveling back and forth. And we went to Portugal; he met my mom and my sister over there. We traveled around a little bit."

But Bailey shared how she's actually "been in New York for the majority" of the summer.

"I think a lot of people that posted spoilers can attest to that," Bailey quipped.

"So that's been fun. We've been trying to do the disguise thing, but you can only wear a wig so much before your wig gives out. So I just feel like we've really loved being with each other every day."


Bailey went on to tease how she and Jeremy "definitely have some exciting plans" in store.

"For later this year," Bailey began.

"She's moving in with me," Jeremy revealed.

"Yeah!" Bailey confirmed.

Bailey gushed about how she and Jeremy "are in a really good place" and are "really happy with each other" post-show.


"We've been meeting family, and I think that's all you can really ask for. [We've] met friends. He's met all of my best friends," Bailey continued.

"And I'm meeting his best friends, so yeah, we're really happy."

Jeremy paired up with Bailey for the first few days of Bachelor in Paradise's tenth season.

But then Jeremy enjoyed a great date with Susie and seemed torn between the two women.

After making a difficult decision, Jeremy ended up giving Bailey his rose at the subsequent Rose Ceremony, 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, declined Jeremy's offer.

Since Bailey ran back into Jeremy's arms after her date with Andrew, Jeremy seemed to focus his attention on Bailey and resume 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.

Bailey was devastated and nearly quit Paradise, especially because neither Jeremy or a single one of her girlfriends had told her about her man's once-strong feelings for Susie.

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, missing out on a shot to win up to $500,000.


However, the pair decided to become boyfriend and girlfriend, officially, before leaving Costa Rica.

The pair has since faced backlash from Bachelor Nation.

Jeremy has been slammed for lying by omission to Bailey, and Bailey has 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 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."
