Horstmann was first introduced to audiences as a contestant on Becca Kufrin’s Bachelorette season.

After ending the season as a runner-up to Kufrin’s now ex-fiancé Garrett Yrigoyen, Horstmann caused quite the stir on Bachelor in Paradise in 2019 due to his pre-show entanglements with castmates Caelynn Miller-Keyes, Kristina Schulman and Hannah Godwin. He later quit the show in week 5.

The following year, Horstmann confirmed on Taylor Nolan’s Let’s Talk About It podcast that he’s “seeing somebody” but they’re “keeping it private.” He has not given any updates on that relationship since the interview.

As for Gibelli, she gained recognition for appearing on Love Is Blind in 2020. She met and fell in love with contestant Damian Powers, to whom she got engaged.

In the season finale, Powers, 30, told Gibelli at the altar that he can’t go through with marrying her but they remained together nonetheless.

It was later revealed in 2021’s Love Is Blind: After the Alter special that the pair were facing problems in their relationship, which were partly worsened by Powers’ close bond with Too Hot to Handle‘s Francesca Farago. (Powers has denied being romantically linked to Farago, 29.)

In August, Gibelli confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that she’s no longer with Powers. “I am officially single,” she told the news outlet. “Me and Damian haven’t been dating for a couple of months now.”

Gibelli also added that she’s “moved on” from Powers and feels “really, really good.”

“I’m definitely at a really good place in my life,” she said.
