This Is Your Answer to Whether Kenny & Mari Are Still Together After 'Bachelor in Paradise' - StyleCaster

As the couple with one of the most up-and-down relationships, Bachelor Nation members want to know if Kenny and Mari are still together after Bachelor in Paradise season 7 or whether their drama continued once they left Mexico.

Kenny and Mari are two of 30-plus contestants on Bachelor in Paradise season 7, which premiered in August. The show, a spinoff of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, follows contestants from past seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette as they look for a second chance at love. Bachelor in Paradise season 7—which is the first season to air since season 6 two years ago due to the current health crisis—was filmed over the course of three weeks in June at the Playa Escondida Resort in Sayulita, a town in Vallarta-Nayarit, Mexico. The resort is the same location Bachelor in Paradise has filmed at since season 2.

While the location is the same, the host is different. After former host Chris Harrison quit the Bachelor franchise in June following his racism scandal with Rachael Kirkconnell, a contestant from The Bachelor season 22 with Matt James, ABC announced that Bachelor in Paradise season 7 would be hosted by a rotating roster of celebrities that includes David Spade, Titus Burgess, Lance Bass and Lil Jon.

As for what to expect this season of Bachelor in Paradise, bartender Wells Adams told Us Weekly in July that season 7 is filled with romance and drama, which, for those who have watched the season so far, know to be true. “There’s love, there’s romance. There’s a lot of drama, you know, it’s got everything,” he said. “The drinks are bad, the advice is worse, but the bar is open. … There are some twists and turns that I was shocked by, and I never thought would ever happen on the show. And I think people are really, really going to love this season.”

Now back to our original question: Are Kenny and Mari still together from Bachelor in Paradise season 7? Ahead is what we know about if Kenny and Mari are still together and what happens to them in the finale.

Are Kenny and Mari engaged after Bachelor in Paradise?

Kenny Braasch, a contestant from The Bachelorette season 16 with Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adams, and Mari Pepin, a contestant from The Bachelor season 25 with Matt James, were two of the 23 original contestants on Bachelor in Paradise season 7 who arrived on day one. Kenny and Mari, who have a 15-year age difference, coupled up on the first day. However, when Demi Burnett, a contestant on The Bachelor season 23 with Colton Underwood and Bachelor in Paradise season 6, arrived, Kenny and Mari’s relationship was tested. After Demi’s arrival, Kenny and Mari made out and slept together in the Boom Boom Room, which led to a love triangle between them and Mari.

When Mari learned that Kenny and Demi had slept in the Boom Boom Room together, she broke up with him and Kenny continued his relationship with Demi. However, in week 3, Mari confessed to Kenny that she still had feelings for him, which led Kenny to make a decision between her or Demi. In the end, Kenny chose Mari and gave his rose to her at the third rose ceremony, which led Demi’s elimination in week 3. In week 4, Kenny and Mari had their first date. They were tested again in week 5 after Kenny told Mari that he’s concerned if the spark between them had died down. In the end, however, Kenny and Mari got back on track. At the Bachelor in Paradise season 7 finale, Kenny proposed to Mari, and the two got engaged. This also means that Kenny and Mari are one of three couples who got engaged in the finale.

Kenny Braasch, a 40-year-old boy band manager from Chicago, Illinois, was a contestant on The Bachelorette season 16 with Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adams. He was eliminated in week 7. Before his elimination, Kenny was one of the most vocal contestants who criticized Clare and her winner, Dale Moss, whom she left in the middle of the season for.

Kenny works as a talent buyer for 115 Bourbon Street, a bar in Merrionette Park in Chicago, according to The Chicago Tribune. He also manages five cover bands: Boy Band Night, a group that pays tribute to boy bands like the Backstreet Boys and One Direction; the Ron Burgundys, a soft rock band; the Hair Band Night, a hair metal group; Motown Nation, a motown band; and Country Night, a country group. Kenny, who graduated from Oak Lawn Community High School, is also a model. He’s walked the runway for brands like Neiman Marcus and posed for magazines like Vogue Russia and Naperville magazine. He was also the face of the Joker in Mortal Kombat 11. Kenny was also on the July 2020 cover of Desnudo magazine and the February 2014 cover of Today’s Chicago Women for its annual single issue. He’s also posed for the cover of romance novels like Julie Ann Walker’s Born Wild and Ashlyn Chase’s Kissing With Fangs.

In his Bachelorette bio, Kenny revealed that he often put his career before his relationships in the past but is ready to settle down. “This handsome man about town is ready to say “Bye Bye Bye” to the single life. Kenny is a talent buyer in Chicago, where he creates and manages boy band cover bands. He’s the first one to admit that in the past, he’s put his career before his relationships, but now as he inches closer to the big 4-0, Kenny is tired of having ‘No Strings Attached’ and is ready for someone to join him on this journey he calls life,” his bio reads. “For Kenny, looks and personality are equal in priority and he’s hoping for a girl with both. He wants a woman who is not controlling, fake or wrongly opinionated. And if he doesn’t agree with her opinions, she should be ready for a spirited conversation because Kenny says he doesn’t let things slide easily. One way to secure Kenny’s heart is through music.”

His bio continues, “He loves to talk shop and could spend hours reliving his favorite concerts or albums. Kenny is often misjudged by what people see on the outside, but inside, he’s sensitive and caring. He’s waited this long to find the right woman and isn’t about to just settle for anyone, “This I Promise You!”
