Demi Burnett is switching things up on this season of “Bachelor in Paradise.” Rumors suggest that her ex-girlfriend, Kristian Haggerty, will enter the 2019 installment of the ABC show in week three. From there, she’ll reportedly consistently give her rose to her ex, resulting in an engagement for the pair at the end of Season 6. So, who is Demi’s girlfriend (and rumored fiancée)? Here is everything you need to know.

It appears that after fighting for Colton Underwood’s heart on “The Bachelor,” Demi began to date Kristian. Demi opened up about her romance with a woman during the “BIP” season premiere while speaking with her friend and most recent “Bachelorette” lead Hannah Brown.

I have kind of been seeing someone, like, of course, plot twist, it happens to be a woman. It’s not something that I need to label. I feel like I don’t have to proclaim that I am gay, I’m straight, I’m bisexual, I’m this. I just like who I like. It doesn’t matter who or what you are, it’s the person.

Demi added that she and her unnamed partner “fell head over heels” for one another. Despite this, Demi said she and the female were not officially together. “No exclusively, nothing like that,” she confirmed. Demi added that she needed to go on “Paradise” to figure out what she wanted in a relationship.

According to Reality Steve’s findings, Demi met Kristian through fellow “The Bachelor” Season 23 alum Catherine Agro. He reported in June that Demi and Kristian have been “seeing each other” since February and that Kristian coming on the show was pre-planned by producers.

According to Kristian’s professional website, she, like Demi, is involved in the Los Angeles entertainment industry. While she considers acting to be her passion and is open to accepting film, commercial and hosting gigs, she also works behind-the-scenes as a production assistant and second assistant director. Her resume reveals she has worked on commercials for Subaru and Nissan, and served as an on-set personal assistant to Jennifer Lopez.

On her personal Instagram page, Kristian classifies herself as a “Christian” who is “living to love.” She also claims to be an ordained minister.

While there is no mention of her current relationship with Demi on her account, there are photos of the couple together. “The one thing missing to complete a perfect weekend,” reads the caption of Kristian’s most recent shot of Demi from April.
