A match made in Mexico? Michael Allio and Danielle Maltby have both weathered tragedy, but they got a second chance at love during season 8 of Bachelor in Paradise.
The small business owner made his Bachelor Nation debut during Katie Thurston‘s season of The Bachelorette in 2021, but he ultimately self-eliminated because he didn’t want to leave his son, James, alone at home. The Ohio native shared James with wife Laura, who died of breast cancer in 2019.
Maltby, for her part, appeared on Nick Viall‘s season of The Bachelor, which aired in 2017. Before her appearance on the ABC dating show, the neonatal nurse was in a relationship with Nick Haag. The couple had been engaged for just three months when Haag died of a drug overdose in 2011 at age 29.
When Allio initially arrived on the beach in Mexico, he coupled up with Sierra Jackson, who first competed on Clayton Echard‘s season of The Bachelor. The duo seemingly had a strong connection, but Allio later told the yoga instructor that he wasn’t ready to get serious. Jackson then left the beach after deciding she didn’t want to watch Allio explore connections with other women.
Maltby arrived in week two after Jackson’s exit and quickly asked Allio out on a one-on-one date — with a little help from Wells Adams. (“They cut it, but I told @MichaelAllio I had someone for him and then walked up the steps of paradise, welcomed @daniellemmaltby and told her to go find Michael,” Adams tweeted in October 2022.)
The pair didn’t get engaged during the season finale, but they did exchange the L-word — and agreed to keep seeing each other after filming.
