When JPJ moved to Los Angeles, rumors started swirling that he'd moved there to make things work with Tayshia (via People). When Tayshia appeared on the official Bachelor podcast Bachelor Happy Hour, she made clear she had nothing to do with the move. "He moved here because he wanted to be an actor," Tayshia told hosts Rachel Lindsay and Becca Kufrin. "And because he was getting auditions and it was just easier for him to attend those as opposed to flying out." She also explained that distance and an age difference were major reasons behind her break-up.
Apparently, John Paul Jones didn't love Tayshia's podcast comments. Despite the pair's commitment to remain friends, they haven't posted any photos together since. After his breakup with Tayshia, John was linked to model Victoria Rose Strehlow, though their relationship status was never confirmed. Will fans be treated to a JPJ cameo on Tayshia's Bachelorette season? We'll be keeping our eye on the La Quinta resort.
