The Bachelors stars Alesia and Jed are the only couple who are still together from the dating show, however, the former has stressed that she’s “definitely” not ready for an engagement.
In the final episode of The Bachelors, which aired last night, Alesia told Jed that she wouldn’t be ready for an engagement if he picked her. Regardless, Jed picked Alesia and proposed to her. Unsurprisingly Alesia said no, but agreed to keep the diamond as a promise ring.
Now, months on from the conclusion of filming, Alesia has told New Idea Magazine that an engagement still isn’t on the cards.
“Definitely nowhere near engagement… I wasn’t ready six months ago, after seven weeks. And this is obviously the second time I’ve seen him within the six months, you know, post filming. So, I feel like we’re starting from scratch. But so far, so good,” she said.
Elsewhere in the interview, Jed confirmed that he and Alesia are “seeing each other at this stage”.
When asked why they think they managed to stay together, despite the long distance and lack of physical time together after filming wrapped, both reality stars cited their open and frequent communication.
“I think 100 percent, like it just sounds so corny, but communication is so key. And also just having such a huge amount of respect for one another, just to be so supportive of each other through this whole time,” Alesia said.

Jed added that he’s written multiple songs about Alesia that help to communicate his feelings about her. “I have a song called Solid Ground, which will come out soon, which is about her.”
During last night’s finale, fellow The Bachelors lead Thomas got engaged to Leah and Felix left the show in a relationship with Jess. However, both couples have confirmed that they’ve broken up with their partners since the finale was filmed.
