Relationship Status: Not together

Unfortunately, Taylor and JP were the first engaged couple to call it quits on Season 5. At the onset of Season 5, social media users were hopeful that Taylor and JP would go the distance. Their conversations were full of substance and the connection between them in the pods was undeniable. However, once they had their meeting and went on the couple's Mexico vacation, things slowly started to go down the drain.

After Taylor voiced her concerns about JP not being open post-pods, JP then said that it'd been a weird adjustment and admits that he thinks Taylor is "fake" because she wears makeup. So Taylor decided to end the engagement.

"[We are] not friends. I don't know if we could ever get to that friend level," Taylor told Women's Health. "But I want nothing but good things for him."

To his credit, JP did apologize during the reunion for the way he spoke to Taylor.
