Aaron Clancy Reportedly Had Girlfriend Back Home When On 'Bachelor In Paradise'

"Bachelor In Paradise" star Aaron Clancy has been facing backlash as of late, mainly because of his explosive fight with Genevieve Parisi.

Now, rumors are circulating that he just used Genevieve and actually had a girlfriend back home.

Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone is revealing that Aaron is currently dating a woman, whom he actually began spending time with at least nine months ago -- prior to "Bachelor In Paradise."

"It's pretty clear she's making it known on her Instagram that her and Aaron are a thing," Carbone said on his podcast. Although he did not mention the mystery girl's name, Carbone did say Aaron is definitely currently dating and/or hooking up with the woman.

"And based on some of her IG posts," Carbone wrote in one of his blog posts, "[it] seems like this is someone who's been around for a while."

The woman in question is not shy about hanging out with Aaron as she recently posted photos from her birthday, which Bachelor Nation's Logan Palmer and Jacob Rapini. In one image, Aaron was seen kissing the woman on the cheek.

Although many would not seem to care if Aaron is dating the woman now, if thngs did not woork out with Genevieve, the issue is after doing some digging, it seems he had a connection with the woman prior to "Bachelor In Paradise."

She posted a photo with Aaron in Summer 2021 from when they apparently took a trip to Tulum, Mexico together.

"There's nothing that I've found from right before he left for BIP filming," Carbone continued to write. "But I'm just being realistic here. Aaron is no different than a lot of the guys in this franchise. Plenty of them go on the main show and BIP with women back home that are basically put on 'hold,' or they have in the back of their minds if things don't work out."

One of the strongest couples in Paradise — Genevieve Parisi and Aaron Clancy — hit rocky waters during Tuesday, November 1’s episode of “Bachelor In Paradise” when the two had an explosive fight.

Aaron got mad at his girlfriend, Genevieve, after she expressed wanting to spend more time with him one-on-one, but he seemed just wanted to have “bro” time.

“Are you really doing this? What are you coming at me for? I’ve done everything right. No other girl is mad at any dude here,” Aaron said during the episode.

Genevieve was about to leave Paradise after the fight, but on her way out, Aaron stopped her and they both ultimately confessed their love to one another.

After the episode, Aaron took to social media as the episode was airing to call out the editing team of “Bachelor In Paradise,” saying the fight was not was it seemed like. “Guys. Reality tv is not actual reality. But it is actually on tv,” he Tweeted. “Like 40 hrs of filming a week condensed into 4 hours, you see such a small part!”

And for his part of the argument, the 28-year-old seemed to downplay his actions and what he said to Genevieve at the time, saying that the argument that aired on television was “truly not the convo at all.”

However, Genevieve had a completely different point of view, Tweeting “Nothing relevant to the argument was cut out,” she Tweeted. “What you saw is what happened.”

She also re-Tweeted a fan’s Tweet that said, “Ok what y’all not gonna do is keep throwing around the word ‘gaslight’ incorrectly af every season #bachelorinparadise.”

"Bachelor in Paradise" airs on Monday and Tuesday nights at 8 PM ET. The finale will air on November 22 on ABC.
