Are Allyshia and Sean Still Together?
Not quite—at least, not romantically. As of August 2025, Allyshia Gupta and Sean McLaughlin aren’t officially a couple (sigh), but the story isn’t cut-and-dried. After leaving “Bachelor in Paradise” together in a moment that screamed “We choose ourselves!” more than it did “We choose each other,” their connection has been described as ongoing—but nobody, not even their closest friends, seems totally sure if it’s love or just a mutual respect society.
Allyshia said she and Sean still have a “fantastic relationship,” and the fact that she was FaceTiming him before a recent interview feels like proof of at least good terms, right? But then, there are clues: Sean scrubbing old pics of Allyshia from his socials, Instagram Stories littered with inside jokes, and Allyshia posting a video captioned “Waiting for the man I need, but until then we’re all good because I’ve got my girls.” That sounds suspiciously like someone who is… single-and-mingling or just fine rolling solo for now.
Allyshia Gupta posted a picture with Sean on her Instagram with the caption, ‘A friend to all is a friend to none.’”

Allyshia Gupta: Bachelor in Paradise, Tampa Edition
Yes, she’s the same Allyshia Gupta who went from “The Bachelor” straight into the palm-stuffed chaos of “Bachelor in Paradise.” It's practically a rite of passage: heartbreak on a Monday night, tequila on a Tuesday, and by Wednesday, you’re gathering popcorn and competitors for a reality show built on second, third, and sometimes fourth chances.
Her time on “Paradise” wasn’t exactly a vacation—think less “lounging on hammocks” and more “strategic alliances, constant rose-ceremony dread, and everyone low-key talking about who’s here for the right reasons.” At one point, Allyshia confided she wished she’d entered the game earlier so she could pursue Dale Moss, a contestant she seemed to click with more than her main squeeze Sean. (Love triangles are so the aesthetic, aren’t they?)
But Allyshia handled the messy, strategic drama with thoughtful honesty, and I mean that as a compliment. When contestant drama over alliances hit an all-time high, she and Sean tag-teamed out of Paradise rather than wait for a possible elimination. They left together, announcing their decision to the group in what might be one of the least dramatic “Paradise” exits ever (no sand-flinging, just lots of talk about integrity and, oddly enough, buckets of popcorn).
Real-ish Relationship Vibes: Are They Friends or More?
If you want actual romance, the waters are murky, not tropical blue. After the show, reports suggest Allyshia and Sean’s bond is “ongoing.” Some accounts call it a friendship, others a blurred situationship, and certain reality super-fans say she’s “waiting for the man I need.” Kind of poetic, if you ask me.
Here’s a little anecdote: Rumor has it, during one Tampa brunch, Sean tried to order Allyshia a mimosa, got her order wrong, and she laughed it off before the whole group started ribbing him about never listening. I guess sometimes, real chemistry is making light of tiny slip-ups, even if you’re surrounded by cameras. That kind of ease—joking about the little things—sometimes goes further than cheesy declarations on a beach.
Quick-List: How You Know It’s Complicated
Allyshia confirmed they FaceTimed right before her red carpet interview. That’s friendly, right?
Sean deleted shared pics of Allyshia from his socials—definitely a “something changed” move.
Allyshia posted about “waiting for the man I need,” but her tone was more “I’m good” than “I’m brokenhearted.”
But Can They Get Back Together?
Color me skeptical, but I think anything’s possible in Bachelor Nation. However, as of right now? Sean and Allyshia are just friends—possibly with that lingering “what if?” energy. Maybe one day there’ll be a “Tampa Reunion” episode; maybe they’ll grab that popcorn and laugh at the drama together when the cameras are off.
For now, if you’re shipping them, it’s time to ship something else, at least until further clues drop.
