Though Tayshia and JPJ initially spent their time in Paradise with Derek and Tahzjuan Hawkins, respectively, the two eventually found their way to each other. Fans were shocked when they broke up right before the finale, but the two later reunited on the "After the Final Rose" special in September 2019 after Tayshia flew to JPJ's home in Maryland to ask him to take her back.
The reconciliation didn't last, and only six weeks later, the duo broke up for good. "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," she wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post. "We are the best of friends and will continue to remain in each other's life because regardless of the situation, we make each other happy." They seem to have kept their promise, as — following the news of Tayshia potentially becoming the next Bachelorette — JPJ told Us Weekly that he's "really happy and excited" for his ex.
