Bachelor In Paradise Finale Finally Exposes Kat And Dale's Fate
Bachelor in Paradise wrapped its finale with the question everyone had on their minds: are Kat and Dale still together?
I know what you want to know: after that messy Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 finale, are Kat and Dale actually still a thing? Short answer: yes. Longer answer: yes, but the road there got bumpy in the final hour, and it involved receipts, an ex, and Sean showing up like a one-man court of public opinion.
So... are Kat and Dale still together?
They are. The finale closes the loop by confirming Kat and Dale are still dating and talking about the future in a real way. For what it is worth, Reality Steve had already been saying they were together before the episode aired, and the show ultimately lined up with that.
The last-minute curveball
Right when it looked like Kat and Dale would coast to the credits, Sean McLaughlin arrives with accusations. He says Kat pretended they were not even friends, then claims he checked in with mutual friends tied to her ex and even called the ex himself. The headline of his argument: Kat was not on the beach to find love and was still writing emotional texts to her ex.
"You said that this was going to be something for your career, and you were here to stir up drama... and I have the receipts."
Kat breaks down. Dale steps in to comfort her and tells Sean he is tearing down "a great woman because of ego."
Kat and Dale take it private
They leave the group and, away from the chaos, Kat pushes back. She says she was not sending love letters to her ex during Paradise, calls Sean's version twisted, and makes it clear she is done having her personal business turned into a spectacle. Dale keeps pressing for clarity, and Kat admits two things at once: yes, she dated around before the show and stayed in touch with her ex because she did not expect to meet anyone new on the beach; no, she was not texting that ex during filming because she did not have her phone.
What went down, quick version
- Sean returns with allegations: Kat denied their friendship, he contacted people tied to her ex, and he says Kat planned to use the show for career/drama and was sending her ex "love letters."
- Kat gets emotional; Dale defends her and calls out Sean for ego.
- In private, Kat denies texting her ex from Paradise, says the story got twisted, and admits she had been in touch with the ex before filming but not during it.
- Kat and Dale talk it out, say they are grateful to have found each other, and decide to move forward together.
- The finale confirms they are still together, aligning with pre-finale chatter that they were a couple.
Where things stand now
No engagement bombshells, no sudden breakups — just two people choosing to keep dating after a rough patch of reality TV turbulence. We will see how it plays out off-camera, but for now, Kat and Dale are still together and talking future plans.
Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 is streaming on Hulu.
