Relationship status: Broken up
JP and Taylor were the first season five couple to get engaged. However, their romance didn't last very long. Upon meeting each other for the first time, the pair's conversations were a bit brief (and awkward). The communication breakdown carried on when the couple joined the other engaged pairs for their group getaway trip, which ultimately led to their breakup.
During an argument in episode six, Taylor noted that her and JP's "emotional connection isn't where it should be," attributing it to their awkwardness. JP then admitted that he didn't like that Taylor wore makeup when they met face-to-face. "Without any makeup, it would've been better," he said, adding that Taylor's "caked-up face" made her seem "fake."
The next day, the two tried to reconcile, though it was too much for Taylor to look past, as she said she was "done." Looks like love wasn't blind for this couple after all.
Back in September, Taylor confirmed to POPSUGAR that she was "happy and dating." She added, "I feel like I'm thriving over there." During the reunion, JP revealed that he's been dating someone new for about a year now, while Taylor said she's simply "seeing someone" right now. "Not official yet," she added. "Taking it slow."
