Bachelor in Paradise alum Jess Edwards has shared the real reason why her fiance, Spencer Conley, rarely appears on her social media these days.

"I'm sure you guys have noticed, we haven't been on social media as a couple as much together," Jess acknowledged during a recent episode of the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast co-hosted by Rachel Recchia and Charity Lawson.
"Because I feel like we were doing it so much, it was like, it felt a little performative. We were like, 'Alright, this is not realistic. We're forcing ourselves to do these things when we just want to be normal.'"

Jess said she and Spencer felt an obligation to post on social media all the time as a couple in order to not disappoint their fans and Bachelor Nation.

"But we were like, 'You know what? No. We just need to do what feels natural.' And he's wanted to take a little break from social media, and I'm not going to be like, 'No, you need to be in this!'" Jess explained.
"So if he wants to, he wants to. And yeah, I just think we're trying to be as normal as possible because we were just handed this platform, and we're like, 'Eh, what do we do?!'"
But because Jess and Spencer haven't been showing off their love online, many fans have speculated that they've split or are heading towards a break up.
"I have a really bad problem of seeing stuff and getting immediately infuriated," Jess confessed.
"Like, it really does -- and this is probably exactly what they want to hear, too -- but I will see it and I'm like, 'Oh, I'm so mad. We need to post together,'" Jess admitted.

"And then I'm like, 'You know what? It literally does not matter what they think.' I know nine times out of 10, it's because they care and they're invested in us. And then there's just the people who want to start drama."
Jess expressed annoyance, in particular, over trolls claiming she doesn't wear her engagement ring.

"I will have people literally comment on videos where you can clearly see my ring in every clip and they're like, 'She's not been wearing her ring recently.' And I'm like, 'Girl, yes I have!'" Jess vented.
Jess pointed out how she and Spencer simply have a lot going on and can't dedicate all of their time to posting on social media.

"There's things that pop up and I don't know. I'm just not, I don't ever want to be fraudulent or fake on there," Jess shared.
"So I don't want to have all these things going on and then be like, 'Okay, we've got to make a couples' video really quick. Like, come on, let's fit it in.' It just feels like too much and then it gets to be an annoyance and it's not fun anymore."
Jess moved from San Diego, CA, to Dallas, TX, to be with Spencer in January 2026, and she gushed about how Spencer does a great job of preventing her from feeling lonely.
While Jess and Spencer weren't the only couple who found love on Bachelor in Paradise's tenth season, they were the only couple who left Costa Rica engaged.
Jess and Spencer chose love over money during the September 2025 finale on ABC, but as a reward for having their priorities straight, they walked away with a cash prize of $190,000.
