“While traveling this weekend, our paths crossed and I finally had the opportunity to meet Hope Higginbotham in person," Chad wrote. “Let me just say, she is even more beautiful in person! A great girl like her deserves so much better than someone who lies, cheats, and ends a four year long relationship in order to pursue fame on a tv show."

Who is Hope Higginbotham, you may ask? She’s none other than Robby Hayes’ ex! What makes this relationship even juicier is that Hope claims that she was in a serious relationship with Robby before he joined the show. In fact, she claims that the reason he dumped her is that he got a call from producers!

Two scorned lovers uniting? It may not be “Bachelor in Paradise,” but it sure is juicy! Their steamy photo comes less than a week after show creator and producer Mike Fleiss tweeted that Chad found love on the spinoff reality show ...
