‘BiP’ Alum Carly Waddell Is Engaged To Todd Tressler

Carly Waddell just got engaged to Todd Tressler and the former Bachelor in Paradise star seems thrilled about her second chance at marriage.

Remember, she first appeared on The Bachelor with Chris Soules and later went on BiP Seasons 2 and 3. After accepting the proposal by Evan Bass, the ABC couple married, had kids, and later divorced. 

Carly Waddell Moved On With Todd Tressler

Not every relationship in the ABC franchise works out, as fans of The Golden Bachelor know. Things looked solid for Evan Bass and his wife, and they tied the knot in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico. Chris Harrison was there, and fans saw it air in Season 4 of Bachelor in Paradise in 2017. 

The ABC couple went on and produced two kids, Isabella “Bella” Evelyn, (6), and Charles “Charlie” Wolfe, (4). But in December 2020, the Bachelor in Paradise stars announced that their marriage was over. In March, Carly Waddell hard-launched Todd Allen Tressler via her social media, per Heavy. And now, they got engaged. 

In her long Instagram post, Carly Waddell explained that she proposed to Todd Tressler on Halloween last year. So, clearly, the Bachelor In Paradise alum has been keeping some secrets. The ABC alum added in part:

A little thing happened in Costa Rica 💍
He asked me THIS October and I also said YES!!!!…I didn’t see the final [ring] until he was down on his knee. It’s more beautiful then (sic) I could have ever imagined it to be. Here’s to a new chapter with my dream man, and [the] dream ring he put on my left hand.
