However, there has been no update on Aaron's relationship in a while, and there are no recent photos of Alice on his Instagram.
Aaron therefore confirmed that he and Alice "broke up" during a recent episode of the "Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour" podcast with Kathy Swarts and Susan Noles.
"We broke up about four, five or six [months ago]," Aaron shared.
"We broke up a while ago. I really don't want to go too into it; there were irreconcilable differences, I guess. But we tried and turned over every stone."
Kathy joked that Aaron sounded like a divorce lawyer, and he admitted, "I'm trying to. I'm trying to keep it regal."
Aaron said that since the split, he's just been "laying low" and focusing on his job.
"I'm just trying to work on myself and bounce back," noted the Bachelor in Paradise alum.
But Aaron said women have been sliding into his DMs and he's "100 percent" open to dating again.
"I haven't broadcast that I'm single [until now], but I have been posting more thirst traps," Aaron said.
"Other than that, I haven't explicitly said it, so I'm [not receiving] too much. It's not crazy. And when I was in my relationship, people were pretty respectful, which was awesome."

While Aaron acknowledged he's definitely open to meeting someone new, he said he won't use dating apps to find his future wife.
"Not that I'm against them, but no apps. And no DMs. I don't know, I guess [I'd like to meet] a friend of a friend or stumble into someone and be like, 'Oh my god!'" Aaron explained.
When asked if he has his eye on anyone from Bachelor Nation, Aaron replied, "I don't know. Let my silence speak volumes in this case."
Aaron also wouldn't reveal whether he'd look for love on Bachelor in Paradise again.
Aaron confirmed his relationship with Alice in April 2023 by sharing a video of sweet moments they had together.
"I've been pretty busy lately, and I couldn't be happier about it. Kind, generous and understanding is an understatement. Thank you for being one of the most special people I have ever met. Let's keep living it up babe," Aaron captioned the hard launch at the time.
Alice, a California-based blonde beauty, commented on Aaron's video, writing, "Why are you so cute?!"

"Life is good, I can't complain... I don't want to say anything too, too official right now, but I am seeing someone," Aaron told Joe Amabile at the time.
"Things are going really, really good. I am super happy, actually. I'm probably the happiest I've been."
Aaron said he and this woman, whom he chose not to identify at the time, met through "a friend of a friend."
Aaron gushed about how the mystery woman "is super talented," explaining, "[I don't want to] give too much away, but she's an artist."
Aaron shared how he met this woman for a few beers and then chose to take her out on a proper second date for steak and lobster at a nice restaurant.

Aaron also said his then-girlfriend knew all about his past on Katie Thurston's season of The Bachelorette, Season 17, and his two stints on Bachelor in Paradise, Seasons 7 and 8.
"Yeah, she knows about my horrific failures on national TV, for sure," Aaron quipped.
Joe quipped in reply, "If she's okay with that, I feel like she could be The One."
Aaron responded, "One thousand percent. I agree. And I'm even worse in real life, so...."
"Trust me, I know," Joe joked.
Aaron, who went to school for business, was working in sales and social media in San Diego at the time. When Joe playfully called Aaron "unemployed," Aaron noted, "I'm in between things."

The men proceeded to enter Bachelor in Paradise's eighth season together as a funny and entertaining bromance in 2022.
James got involved in a love triangle with The Bachelor 26 alum Shanae Ankney, but he was sent packing when Shanae chose Logan Palmer over him.
Meanwhile, Aaron dated Genevieve from The Bachelor 26 and fell in love with her.
However, Aaron dumped Genevieve after the Final Rose Ceremony and before overnight Fantasy Suite dates, claiming their fights were unhealthy and it didn't seem like she was going to be his person.
Aaron then became a subject of scrutiny in 2022 when he was accused of using and playing 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 2022, and once Aaron returned home, he appeared to resume dating one of the women he had left behind to film the show. (Alice wasn't one of them).
Aaron denied allegations he was a two-timer and that he had manipulated Genevieve for more screentime.
Aaron also claimed he never left to film Paradise in Mexico with the intention of reuniting with one of his former flames once he traveled back home to San Diego.
However, the woman who had come forward with the accusations to Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone fired back, insisting Aaron was a liar and a cheater.

Genevieve said she had fallen in love with the wrong person and "should have picked up on some flags."
Genevieve also complained on the podcast that Aaron never reached out to talk or check on her once filming ended.
Aaron, however, insisted that he texted Genevieve after the Bachelor in Paradise reunion filmed.
