If you’re anything like me, you spent most of late 2025 glued to the screen watching the absolute chaos that was Bachelor in Paradise Season 10. Specifically, watching Andrew Spencer and Alexe Godin. It was a weirdly sweet, slightly awkward, but somehow deeply relatable slow burn. They weren't the couple screaming at each other by the pool, and they weren't the ones getting engaged after three days of knowing each other.
But honestly? That’s why we like them.
Now that we’re settling into January 2026, everyone is asking the same thing: Are Alex and Andrew still together, or was that $125,000 prize the only thing they actually took home from the beach?
The Current Status: Yes, They Are Going Strong
Let’s just get the big answer out of the way first. As of mid-January 2026, Andrew and Alexe are very much still a couple. Unlike a lot of Bachelor Nation pairs who fizzle out once the Instagram likes stop rolling in, these two seem to be leaning into a real-life relationship away from the cameras.
If you need proof, just look at their recent social media activity. Only a few days ago, on January 13, 2026, Alexe posted some photos on her Instagram Stories that sent fans into a total tailspin. She participated in one of those viral AI filters that predicts what your future children will look like.

She tagged Andrew and admitted she had major "baby fever" after seeing the results.
That doesn't sound like a couple on the rocks. In fact, they’ve spent the last few weeks of 2025 and the start of 2026 traveling together. They were recently spotted in Tulum, looking very "touchy-feely" (according to eyewitnesses and their own PDA-packed posts). They aren't just together; they're together together.
What People Get Wrong About the "Money vs. Love" Choice
The biggest hurdle they faced on the show—and the reason people still doubt them—was that massive $250,000 twist in the finale. Remember how stressed Andrew was? He was genuinely terrified that Alexe would choose the cash over him.
And look, I get it.
Alexe was open about her financial struggles and student loans. In a world where most of us are one surprise car repair away from a breakdown, $250,000 is life-changing. Andrew even said in a confessional, "I think that could trump our love right now."
But she chose him.
They eventually walked away with $125,000 as a couple, and the most recent updates confirm they actually used that money for exactly what they said they would: paying off Alexe’s debt. It’s rare to see a reality TV couple follow through on something so practical and "un-glamorous."
The Chicago Move: Is It Happening?
One of the big promises made during the Paradise finale was that Alexe would move to Chicago to be with Andrew. For a while, fans were skeptical because they seemed to be doing a lot of long-distance traveling between her home and his.
However, the plan is still in motion.
While they haven't officially posted a "we moved in!" photo with a set of keys yet, they have been spending a significant amount of time in the Windy City. They were even spotted at Wrigley Field together a few months back. Andrew has always been a Chicago guy through and through, and it seems Alexe is adjusting to the Midwest life quite well—though she probably isn't a fan of the January wind chill.
Are They Married? (The AI Wedding Rumor)
We have to talk about the wedding rumors. Back in October 2025, a bunch of weird, AI-generated articles started circulating with "photos" of Alexe and Andrew at a wedding in Chicago.
It was fake.
Alexe actually had to go on Instagram to debunk it because her own grandmother was calling her, asking why she wasn't invited to the wedding. She joked that the AI "almost nailed her tattoos," but clarified that while they are happy, they haven't tied the knot yet.
No rings. No secret ceremony. Just a normal relationship moving at a normal pace.
Why Their Connection Actually Works
There's a specific reason why Andrew and Alexe are outlasting the "messier" couples from their season (looking at you, Kat and Dale). It’s the "Level Up" philosophy.
Instead of jumping into an engagement—which let’s be real, is almost always a death sentence for these couples—they decided to just be boyfriend and girlfriend. They used "levels" to describe their love on the show to avoid the pressure of the "I love you" milestone.
- Level 1: Like-like.
- Level 2: Getting serious.
- Level 3: Full-blown love.
It's quirky. It's a little bit "high school." But it also took the pressure off. Andrew has a very calm, steady energy, which balances out Alexe’s self-described "awkward" and "frenetic" personality.
The Road Ahead for Alexe and Andrew
So, what’s next? If you’re following them, expect more travel content. They’ve already hit Tokyo (with Andrew’s bestie Greg Grippo as a frequent third wheel) and Mexico.
The real test will be the next six months. The "honeymoon phase" of the show's aftermath is starting to wear off, and the reality of living together in Chicago during a gray winter is setting in. But honestly, seeing how they handled the money situation and the fake wedding rumors, they seem more grounded than most.
How to Stay Updated
If you want to keep tabs on them without falling for the AI-generated fake news:
- Check Alexe's Instagram Stories: She's way more active than Andrew and usually shares the "real" behind-the-scenes stuff.
- Ignore the "Secret Wedding" headlines: Unless you see a photo of them at a courthouse or an altar that isn't blurry and weird-looking, they're likely still just dating.
- Look for the Chicago updates: The move-in post is the next big milestone to watch for.
They aren't the loudest couple in the franchise, but they might just be one of the most successful ones to come out of the 2025 season. No drama, just vibes and a significantly smaller amount of student debt.
