Post their breakup, Clay returned to paradise and had his eyes set on Nicole Lopez-Alvar from the start. Nicole and Clay are also known as the strongest couple in paradise this season but looks like their romance will have to face the Angela test now. Things don't look bright for the couple after Clay revealed that he still had feelings for Angela since she is his ex. 



 

While there is still time left before the series returns with the next episode, here's everything to know about the brunette who is set to bring extra drama this season. 

She entered Bachelor Nation during the 21st season of 'The Bachelor' 

Angela was one among the 30 women who were vying for Nick Viall's heart during the 21st season of 'The Bachelor'. But sadly, she didn't make it far as she was eliminated on the first night. 

She's a model from South Carolina 

According to her profile on ABC, Angela who hails from Greenville, South Carolina, says she works as a model. She also revealed that she picked up her things and moved 500 miles away from her family. 

She appeared on season 5 of 'Bachelor in Paradise'

Prior to her relationship with Clay, Angela appeared on 'Bachelor in Paradise' season 5. When she first entered, Angela hit it off with Eric Bigger from Rachel Lindsay's season of 'The Bachelorette'. After he called Angela his queen and decided to go all-in, things changed. Once Cassandre entered, Eric changed his mind and decided to pursue her and gave his rose to Cassandre sending Angela home.

After Chris Randone set the duo up behind the cameras, Clay and Angela hit it off and went public with their relationship in September 2018. But around eight months later, the couple split after Clay broke up with her claiming she wasn't his person. 

She has guilty pleasures
