A former “Bachelor in Paradise” star has just gone “Instagram Official” with his new girlfriend. Brandon Jones previously was engaged to Serene Russell after they connected during season 8 of BiP.
Although Jones and Russell quickly became fan favorites, they split months after their engagement. As Us Weekly shared, rumors of infidelity on Jones’ part were believed to be a catalyst for the split.
In September, Jones appeared on former “The Bachelor” star Clayton Echard’s podcast “Beyond the Cover.” Jones painted a very different picture of the pair’s relationship and split.
Now, after laying low for months, Jones decided he’s ready to publicly share that he’s fallen in love again.
Brandon Jones Debuted His Romance With Anna Repetto
On November 21, Jones shared the news in an Instagram post. “She’s truly something to let the world know about,” Jones’ caption began.
Jones admitted that dating after doing “Bachelor in Paradise” and splitting with Russell has been difficult. “Finding someone who genuinely cared for me and who cared to know me rather than details displayed on the tv screen,” was a challenge, he noted.
“She has been there for me through thick and thin. Through ups and downs, through rumors, and through each and every battle,” he wrote of his girlfriend.
He continued, “We focused on privacy, keeping our relationship away from social media and growing with each other without a camera lens.”
Now, however, Jones declares he’s done with that. “This woman is truly something to let the world know about.” He ended his caption by writing, “I love you miss Anna Marie Repetto.”
The ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Alum Received Lots of Well Wishes
In September 2023, the Instagram page for the F45 Pacific Beach gym shared a post about Repetto. They referred to her as “Coach Anna” and shared she is originally from a “small town in northern California near Lake Tahoe.”
Repetto is sporty, as she grew up playing volleyball as well as skiing and snowboarding, the post indicated. The gym also noted she graduated in 2021 from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, where she obtained a degree in entrepreneurship and business.
About the same time that Jones shared his first public post praising Repetto, she posted a soft launch of their relationship on her TikTok page.
She captioned the video, “Game over,” and showed Jones filming his dog on the beach. Text over the video reads, “The moment I realized I need to make this man the father of my children.”
Jones posted photos that were clearly from that outing on his Instagram page the day after Repetto’s TikTok and his hard launch of their relationship. “A quick little family getaway,” he captioned the post.
Repetto popped up in a video and a couple of photos toward the end of the post’s carousel.
Jones’ post going public with his love for Repetto received a lot of love from his followers.
One comment read, “So deserving of real love!!! Congratulations!!”
Fellow “Bachelor in Paradise” alum Sam Jeffries commented, “She’s the best! So glad you’re happy!”
“You deserve to love and be loved. Never hide from that. Happy for you both,” added someone else.
