LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Thomas Nguyen, a prominent contestant on 'The Bachelorette' Season 21, has recently set the rumor mill abuzz by posting a cozy video featuring himself and Sydney Gordon. The video, which he personally tagged her in, has ignited widespread speculation about a potential romantic relationship between the two, fueling the curiosity of fans and followers alike. In his Instagram Story, the reality TV star expressed his efforts to maintain focus on what truly matters most. "Attempting to keep the main thing the main thing," he wrote in his Instagram Story. For those who may not be familiar with her, Sydney Gordon made an appearance on 'The Bachelor' Season 28. Unfortunately, her journey on the show was cut short, as she was eliminated during the fourth week.

Sydney's origins trace back to New Bedford, Massachusetts, where she was born, and she grew up in the nearby town of Dartmouth. Her academic journey took her to Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida, where she earned a bachelor's degree in emerging media and social media marketing, complemented by a minor in photography. Presently, Sydney is the proud owner and operator of a vintage shop named Folk Vintage Co. According to her LinkedIn profile, she launched this business venture in November 2021, and it is located in the charming town of Newport, Rhode Island. Since completing her education, Sydney has embarked on extensive travels, visiting a diverse array of countries such as Ireland, Japan, Mexico, Greece, and Australia. Sydney's entrepreneurial spirit led her to expand her professional endeavors by launching Syd Gord Studio. This social media agency provides a wide range of services, including social media management, content creation, videography, and more, catering to the varied needs of its clients.

'The Bachelor' alum Sydney Gordon previously dated Marley Dembitzki

Sydney Gordon previously dated Marley Dembitzki, who resides in Newport. According to reports, their relationship began in May of 2020. However, it appears that their relationship came to an end around the latter part of the same year.

Sydney frequently shared snapshots of their moments together on Instagram, accompanying them with heartfelt captions like "Love life and you," "Miamar and I in the city," and even "We spent 2 hours in Home Depot while I was angry and we still love each other."

Through these captions, Sydney openly conveyed her affection for Marley. Despite her efforts, Marley’s Instagram account conspicuously lacked any photos of Sydney. The circumstances surrounding their breakup remain a mystery. Shortly thereafter, Sydney appeared on Joey Graziadei's season of 'The Bachelor,' but unfortunately, she did not succeed in finding love on the show either.
