Bachelor in Paradise season 9 couple Eliza Isichei and Aaron Bryant got engaged on the season finale, but are they still together after the show? When Bachelor in Paradise began, Aaron spent some time with Mercedes Northup, and they even shared a kiss. However, the next morning, he realized that he really liked Eliza, but he didn't tell her about his short-lived romance with Mercedes. When Eliza found out, she worried that she'd end up in another love triangle after her experience on Bachelor in Paradise season 8, but she and Aaron were able to move forward with their relationship.

On Bachelor in Paradise season 9, John Buresh asked Eliza out on a date, but Aaron didn't want her to go. When Eliza returned, she told Aaron that she was thinking of him while they were apart. However, Kat Izzo then told Eliza that Charity Lawson had warned her to stay away from Aaron because of drama with his ex-girlfriends. Thankfully, Charity arrived on the beach shortly after, and was able to clear things up. Aaron reassured Eliza as well, and they eventually became exclusive. At the end of the season, Aaron proposed, and Eliza said yes. Are they still engaged?

Who Is Eliza Isichei?

Eliza is a 27-year-old marketing manager from Berlin, Germany. She first appeared on Clayton Echard's season of The Bachelor. She then joined the cast of Bachelor in Paradise season 8, during which she was in a love triangle with Rodney Mathews and Justin Glaze. Neither relationship worked out, so Eliza returned for a third chance at love on Bachelor in Paradise season 9.

Who Is Aaron Bryant?

Aaron, a 30-year-old software salesman from Katy, Texas, placed third on Charity Lawson's Bachelorette season. They shared a very strong connection, but Charity eliminated him after his hometown date. Aaron didn't understand how Charity could've broken up with him after they'd shared such a romantic relationship and fallen in love, so he returned to the show to try to win her back. Ultimately, Charity didn't choose Aaron, so he decided to search for love on Bachelor in Paradise season 9.
