During Bachelor in Paradise season six, Tayshia developed a romance with John Paul Jones. Though they eventually broke up on the show, they reconnected when the cameras stopped rolling. In October 2019, Tayshia confirmed that they had split for good.
"John and I had something incredibly special. We fell for each other in Paradise, and everything was a whirlwind after that," she wrote on Instagram at the time. "When the show ended, I truly went back to Maryland to see if what we had was something we could build on without cameras, a production crew, and without feeling any pressure: to simply figure things out on our own terms. But the reality was, we were living on opposite coasts, and working insane schedules that made it impossible to see each other and build a life with each other. We truly did the best we could, but at this time have decided that what is best for the both of us is to go our separate ways."
