Are Tanner Courtad and Jess Girod still together? 'Bachelor In Paradise' Season 9 star finds a 'green flag'
SAYULITA, MEXICO: 'Bachelor In Paradise' Season 9 star Tanner Courtad coupled up with Jess Girod ahead of the finale episode. However, Tanner and Courtad are speculated to have called it quits after leaving the paradise.
After Jess and Blake Moynes broke up, Tanner gave a shot to Jess. He told Jess that she was a good person and that he was there for her after her breakup with Blake.
Tanner was a "little bit" more hopeful about finding romance because Jess was available. He further noted Jess' loyalty to Blake was a "green flag" and said that it was a super-attractive quality.
Although Jess also wanted to get to know Tanner, she was quite hesitant. Tanner said in his confessional that, at that point, he was "all-in" on Jess, and anything could happen in Paradise.
Tanner and Jess didn't get more time to know each other on the show. However, they surely continued their relationship outside the paradise but not for long.
