SAYULITA, MEXICO: 'Bachelor in Paradise' Season 9 star Kat Izzo was left heartbroken after Tanner Courtad went on a date with the new bombshell Davia Bunch. However, Tanner and Davia sparked a connection on their first date only.
In the recent episode of the ABC show, Davia relayed to Kat that Tanner told her 'he was open to exploring other things.' However, Kat noted, "We haven't had, like, an exclusivity talk or anything like that."
Kat then tried to gauge how the date went. Davia said, "Seems like it’s something that he definitely wanted to continue to get to know me a little bit better."
She added, "He made it seem like this is something he wanted to pursue." Meanwhile, Kat and Tanner still needed to figure out where they stood and the viewer would get to know in the upcoming episode.

Kat Izzo's birthday turns into 'worst nightmare'
'Bachelor in Paradise' Season 9 Episode 5 celebrated Kat Izzo's birthday. However, the celebration didn't go as expected and turned into a 'worst nightmare' for the birthday girl.
The new arrival Davia Bunch from Zach Shallcross's season of 'The Bachelor' asked out Tanner for a date on Kat's birthday and he said 'yes.' Kat complained to the cameras, referring to the situation as 'my literal worst nightmare.'
She also noted, "I can’t believe this is happening on my birthday." However, when Tanner approached Kat about going on the date with Davia, though, Kat played it cool and told him, "It’s something you want to do, so you should do it."
Tanner said going on the date might give him 'all the clarity I need' about moving forward with Kat. She broke down in tears during a confessional interview and said, "That is a boy. That is not a man."
Tanner and Davia left and Kat sobbed on the beach. As she cried, her castmates and the kitchen staff came over with a cake and sang 'Happy Birthday' but she threw the cake in the ocean.
