What Problems Did Eliza and Aaron Face on ‘Bachelor in Paradise’?
While the couple seemed happy with their decision to pursue a relationship, drama ensued during the November 9 episode when Eliza learned that Aaron allegedly had a girlfriend when he appeared on Charity Lawson’s season of The Bachelorette.
She confronted him about the claims, though he denied that he was dating his ex when he joined the franchise. “I had an ex last year,” Aaron explained at the time. “We broke up in August right before her birthday because of the toxicity in our relationship. She’s been trying to put my name out there because she thinks that I broke up with her to go on the show when the truth is I had not been talking to her since August. I got the call in December.”
He added that he started seeing someone else after that breakup, though their romance “ended things in October.”
“Actually, she stopped seeing me a couple times. So, it was kind of, like, on and off — not really, like, official boyfriend and girlfriend. But she decided to end things over text with me two days after New Year’s, and that was in January,” he continued. “So, the fact that she says that I broke up with her to go on the show and that I had two girlfriends at once is just zero percent true.”
