Pieper James and Brendan Morais
In June 2021, it was reported that Brendan and Pieper were already dating before filming for season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise began. This relationship became a storyline on the show. Brendan was the first to arrive on the beach and started a romance with Natasha Parker. However, when Pieper arrived, their attention was solely on each other. Some of their fellow cast members suspected that they had planned their relationship before the show, but Brendan and Pieper denied these allegations. Despite leaving the show together, they faced backlash for how Brendan treated Natasha and their comments about gaining Instagram followers from appearing on the spinoff. Off-screen, tension arose between them. In October 2021, the model confirmed that she and Brendan were still together despite the drama.
On the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast, Pieper explained why they didn't immediately go public after the show's finale aired. She stated, "The reason we didn't choose to go public like everybody else in the show was just because, obviously, our experience was a little bit different. We tainted our own experience in that way, so we are kind of working on ourselves and each other and we're focusing on being a couple before taking that public because this isn't an easy thing to go through."
