One of the women on Colton Underwood's season of The Bachelor did find love — just not with him.
Caitlin Clemmens was eliminated from the current season of the dating show during week three. And now, she's reportedly found love within Bachelor nation. According to Life & Style, Clemmens is dating fellow Bachelor alum, Chad Johnson. He slid into her DMs and the rest was history.
Johnson, 31, confirmed the news on Feb. 24 that he was dating Clemmens, 26. Even though she was reportedly "a bit held back" about taking their relationship public due to Johnson's villain persona known throughout the franchise.
“In that world, I’m still the bad guy,” he said. “A lot of the viewers who have seen that show haven’t seen the other four shows I’ve done where I’m actually a pretty good guy. So, I’m trying to see where that goes.”
Die-hards will remember that Johnson got his start on JoJo Fletcher's season of The Bachelorette in 2012. He didn't win her over and was famously sent home one drunken night during Bachelor in Paradise later that same year.
So who is Caitlin Clemmens? Here's everything we know about the Bachelor contestant dating Chad Johnson.
1. She was eliminated pretty early from Colton's season.
Clemmens barely got a chance to get to know Colton Underwood, let alone win his heart. She was sent home during week three and said she felt like he made the wrong decision.
“I feel like throwing me away that early was a really big mistake,” she said during the Jan. 21 episode of the series. “He really needs to think about who’s here for the right reasons. Life goes on, maybe he’ll regret his decision eventually.”
Perhaps she didn't make the best first impression. After getting out of the limo, Clemmens walked up to Underwood with a red balloon and popped it — obviously signifying that she wanted to "pop" his cherry.
She also had a little bit of drama in her short time on the show. One of the contestants accused her of scaring Underwood so badly that he started shaking.
2. They will be doing long-distance.
They met over social media and it looks like most of their personal interaction will be virtual as well. If they want their relationship to work, they'll have to go the distance of long distance.
Johnson, who also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, lives in Los Angeles while Clemmens lives in Toronto. But if things get serious, maybe she'll move. Her latest Instagram post hinted that she's not a fan of the cold.
"I'll take sand over snow any day," she wrote, with her location tagged to L.A.
3. He talked about meeting her in Paradise.
Their relationship must have happened pretty quickly because just last month Johnson was telling Us Weekly about the girls from Underwood's season he'd like to meet in Bachelor in Paradise. Luckily, one of them was Clemmens.
“If I were ever willing to go back there. I don’t know if that would happen,” he said. “I think Caitlin Clemmens and probably Demi [Burnett]. And also that chick Bri [Barnes], I guess she pretended she was Australian.”
4. At first, they were only "talking."
A source told PEOPLE this past week that Clemmens and Johnson were just "talking."
“He’s looking forward to seeing her again,” the source said.
5. He was previously linked to Kendra Wilkinson.
Not that long ago — like, January — Johnson was photographed holding hands with former Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson, 33. She denied that they were dating, and he seemingly shaded her on Twitter.
When Life & Style reported that Johnson was "seriously dating" Clemmens he responded to a tweet of the article with a heart emoji. Someone commented on the exchange and said: "Lol what happened to Kendra?"
"Kendra who," Johnson said back. However, a source told PEOPLE that the Bachelor alum and Wilkinson were never dating and were only together because they taped something for work.
6. She's a real estate agent.
According to Toronto Life, Clemmens works for Toronto-based agency Starke Realty. A few months before she made the jump to reality TV, she and her partner became the first Canadian realtors to successfully list and sell a home for Bitcoin.
Prior to her real estate career, she graduated with her B.A. in psychology from Western.
7. She has a lot of hobbies.
Clemmens like practice photography, paint, sing in the shower and go horseback riding. She's been an equestrian since she was 4 years old and even competed in the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.
Her profile also included that her favorite dessert is cheesecake, she considers herself more of a city person than a country person, but if she could go anywhere it in the U.S. it would be the Colorado mountains to ride horses.
But of course, her real passion lies in self-promotion on Instagram.
