Chelsea Vaughn and Austin Tinsley Split After ‘BiP Canada’ Love Story
September 28, 2023
The roses have wilted on Chelsea Vaughn and Austin Tinsley’s relationship.
“Since many of you watched our love story unfold, we wanted to share with you that we are no longer together,” the Bachelor Nation stars wrote in a joint Instagram statement on Wednesday, September 28. “This decision was not made lightly and of course, it wasn’t what either of us had hoped for. We are extremely heavy-hearted, but also very grateful to have separated with love and respect for each other and for the relationship.”
Their note concluded: “Because of our unique circumstances, sadly, we weren’t able to share a year’s worth of wonderful moments with you. But we are so appreciative of all the love and support you’ve shown us and our relationship over the last few months.”
Vaughn, 31, and Tinsley, 27, — who signed their breakup statement with their former couple name “Aussea” — met on Bachelor in Paradise Canada season 2 in mid-2022. (The season aired this summer.)
While many celeb couples have gone the distance in Hollywood, other romances haven’t stood the test of time. Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott sparked an on-again, off-again relationship in 2017, welcoming two children: daughter Stormi and a son, whose name they have yet to reveal, in February 2018 and February 2022, respectively. Us Weekly broke […]
“I just looked at him and I just thought like, ‘OK, he’s that good looking, he’s 6’6. He’s a California guy.’ I just didn’t think I was gonna be his type. … And then he caught me by surprise and then the whole time he just kept catching me by surprise,” Vaughn, who previously appeared on Matt James’ season of The Bachelor, exclusively explained on Us Weekly’s “Here for the Right Reasons” podcast in July. “But it was really once we started talking more that it was really like, ‘Wow, we really connect mentally and emotionally a lot. I was just drawn to that and attracted to that. And I think I was just really intrigued by the way that [Austin] thinks in general because like he said, we don’t really think the same. And so it made both of us gain a new perspective and see where the other person was coming from. And we continue to do that now.”
Some Bachelor Nation splits hit harder than others. The Bachelor franchise has been matchmaking since 2002. Back in 2003, Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter became the first Bachelor Nation couple to walk down the aisle. The twosome, who met while filming the first season of The Bachelorette, celebrated 19 years of marriage in December 2022. […]
After bonding on the Canadian version of the beach spinoff, Vaughn and Tinsley decided to leave the show together without getting engaged. Tinsley eventually relocated to Vaughn’s home in New York City and they started apartment-hunting.
“I wanna make sure one that she’s comfortable with me being around and having another person in the house and then making sure I’m on top of things. I think dishes are probably my weakest point,” he jokingly told Us of moving to the Big Apple.
The duo documented their moving process via social media, ultimately revealing in August that they found a new residence in Jersey City, New Jersey. It is not immediately known what they plan to do with their joint apartment.
