Reality TV often plays on the idea of turning “what’s meant to be” into real-life moments, where love stories and dramatic journeys unfold on screen. A perfect example of this is Spencer Conley and Jess Edwards, who met on ABC’s ‘Bachelor in Paradise,’ which brings together past contestants from ‘The Bachelor’ and ‘The Bachelorette’ in hopes of finding lasting love. During the show’s tenth season, Spencer and Jess quickly won the viewers’ affection and also became a fan-favorite couple.
Spender and Jess Gave All Their Roses to Each Other
Spencer Conley and Jess Edwards’ journey on the season was nothing short of dreamy. From the very beginning, they seemed to have eyes only for each other, and their connection quickly stood out. In a later interview, Jess admitted that she had actually noticed Spencer before the show and back during his time on season 21 of ‘The Bachelorette.’ She even confessed to sending him a lighthearted DM, which, though innocent at the time, hinted that she had already found him cute and interesting. While Jess did go on an early date with Sam McKinney, it became clear almost immediately that her heart was set elsewhere. When it came time to hand out her first rose, she chose Spencer without hesitation.
From that point forward, the two consistently chose each other and exchanged roses week after week. Unlike many couples swept up in the drama that typically defines the series, Spencer and Jess kept to themselves. They focused on building their relationship and discussing plans for the future, which gave them a quiet but undeniable strength. Their calm, drama-free presence allowed their love story to shine in its own way. One of their most memorable moments came when they won the Communication Challenge and earned the opportunity to try tantric yoga together. The experience only deepened their connection both emotionally and physically. As the season progressed, Spencer and Jess not only became fan favorites but also one of the top five couples. To viewers, their relationship felt effortless. It seemed clear that they were not just caught up in a TV romance but truly destined for something real and lasting.
Spencer and Jess Are Madly in Love Even Today
Spencer and Jess have continued seeing each other and have confirmed that the love they discovered is a lasting one. Even during their time in the villa, the couple spent many late nights envisioning their future, openly discussing how to manage a long-distance relationship. With Spencer based in Dallas, Texas, and Jess in San Diego, California, they acknowledged the challenges ahead but showed a commitment to making it work. Since the season concluded, they have shared many of their memories together with fond reflection, often interacting publicly with the same energy and excitement as a couple newly in love.
From Spencer affectionately calling Jess his “personal bug assassin” to Jess posting that she is “feeling a lil giddy about this man & whatnot,” their playful exchanges leave little doubt about how well they are doing. Speculation has naturally followed about whether an engagement might be on the horizon. Neither Spencer nor Jess has confirmed such plans, though Jess has been open about her approach to their relationship. She said she entered the experiment with an open heart and wants to let things unfold at their own pace. While she did admit to some concerns early on about moving too quickly, it seems the pair has settled into a rhythm that works for them.
