Pieper James and Brendan Morais: Bachelor Nation Break Up
Pieper James and Brendan Morais were two of the most controversial contestants on season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise. The pair had met and dated before the show but did not reveal their relationship status to the other cast members. Instead, they pretended to be single and explored other options on the beach.
A Dramatic Love Story
Brendan, a fan favorite from Tayshia Adams’ The Bachelorette, initially pursued Natasha Parker, claiming a strong connection.
However, upon Pieper’s arrival, they confessed their feelings and shared their social media presence.
Demi Burnett exposed their scheme, leading Natasha to confront Brendan and Pieper, who tried to downplay their relationship.
The rest of the cast was outraged by their dishonesty and manipulation, accusing them of being clout chasers and taking advantage of Natasha’s feelings.
They questioned their intentions and sincerity, feeling they violated the show’s rules and spirit of finding love, not fame.
Brendan and Pieper decided to leave the show early, focusing on their relationship and not needing anyone else’s approval.
A Sudden Split
After leaving Bachelor in Paradise, Brendan and Pieper faced backlash from fans and media for their behavior and lack of remorse.
They lost followers on Instagram, which was ironic considering their initial goal.
Brendan apologized on Instagram, expressing his regret for hurting Natasha and asking people to direct their hate towards him.
Pieper also posted a message on her Instagram, stating that reality TV is not real and that people should not judge them based on an edited show.
Despite the controversy, the couple appeared happy together, attending Fashion Week events in Boston and New York City.
However, in October 2021, E! News reported that Brendan and Pieper had broken up.
A source close to the pair said the backlash from the show was too hard on both of them and they decided to focus on themselves.
Pieper posted a cryptic TikTok video on October 2, 2021, dancing to Lonestar’s song “I’m Already There,” referencing her split from Brendan.
Some fans expressed shock and sadness over the news, while others supported her decision and wished her well.
