It’s time to bid farewell to 2024. While some reality stars, like Bravo’s Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo, said goodbye to old romances this year, others said hello to new ones. Get the full report.
Reality check: Relationships have ups and downs, and reality TV couples experienced several highs and lows this year.
Take Bachelor Nation, for instance. While there were several rosy engagements—with Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple, Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson and Michelle Young and Jack Leius all preparing to say “I do”—there were some thorny splits too, including Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist’s surprise divorce, Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo‘s shocking split and Jenn Tran and Devin Strader’s pre-finale breakup.
Over in the Bravoverse, Summer House‘s Paige DeSorbo confirmed breakup rumors by announcing that she and Southern Charm‘s Craig Conover have ended their three-year relationship. A few Real Housewives stars also got real about where their relationships stood. Atlanta’s Porsha Williams filed for divorce from husband Simon Guobadia after 15 months of marriage, and Beverly Hills’ Dorit Kemsley and Paul “PK” Kemsley announced their separation after nine years as husband and wife. And while Vanderpump Rules alum Kristen Doute SUR-ved up engagement and pregnancy news and Katie Maloney debuted a new romance, their former co-stars Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright are moving on from their relationship by getting divorced.
But that’s not all. The Duggars kept counting on as Jana Duggar added husband Stephen Wissmann to the family with their August wedding, and Jon Gosselin found his forever plus-one in fiancée Stephanie Lebo. Some Love Island stars also parted ways after the villa—including Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury, who announced the end of their engagement in August after five years together, and Nicole Jacky and Kendall Washington, who revealed their breakup after the reunion that same month.
A few Love Is Blind stars also raised a gold glass to a second chance at love—like Giannina Gibelli, who got engaged to Bachelor in Paradise’s Blake Horstmann after her previous relationship with Damian Powers ended at the altar, and Marissa George, who introduced her new man in November after her former fiancé Ramses Prasha called off the wedding.
