BIP's Romeo Alexander And Kira Mengistu Are Officially Through

‘The Bachelor’ came along and gave us a dating show like none other. ‘The Bachelorette’ eventually gave us the fun of the show but with a twist before ‘Bachelor In Paradise’ really blew things out of the water. Much like the other versions of the reality show, it all starts with a rose-giving ceremony as rejected contestants get another shot at love, all in the comfort of paradise.

The show has seen a host of relationships blossom and grow throughout the years, with many hopeful that Romeo Alexander and Kira Mengistu from season eight would go all the way. Sadly, the pair have since taken to social media to announce things are officially through - and they might not have been all they seemed in the first place.

Things have been tumultuous between Romeo Alexander and Kira Mengistu from the beginning

If there is one thing most of us love more than anything else when watching our favorite reality show, it’s a little bit of drama. Romeo Alexander and Kira Mengistu certainly gave us just that when they appeared in season 8 of ‘Bachelor In Paradise.’ The pair were constantly battling others, especially Jill Chin. Romeo had already met the pair before heading on the show, and the women had become friends from their initial season. The problem? They both wanted Romeo. Whenever Jill and Romeo tried to be alone, Kira would seemingly interrupt. Although an argument ensued and Kira went home, she eventually returned - to ask Jacob Rapini for another go at love. One refusal later, and Kira and Romeo left ‘Bachelor In Paradise’ together. 

The pair took to social media to announce their split

Just because they battled through the hard parts on the small screen doesn’t mean that Romeo Alexander and Kira Mengistu were meant to last. Instead, like most other stars, they both took to Instagram to announce they had gone their separate ways. Of course, even this came with its drama. Kira was the first to open up, hinting that Romeo was to blame for things going south. She admitted to being single once more before adding we shouldn’t always “give people a second chance to disappoint you.” The problem? Romeo wasn’t amused, adding he “thought I was out” and there are “Two sides to every story.”

Romeo Alexander has hinted he didn’t like the pressure of dating Kira Mengistu

Although Kira has remained relatively tight-lipped about her split from Romeo since breaking the news, the same can’t be said for her ex. Instead, Romeo took to the ‘Fearlessly Authentic’ podcast, where he admitted he was “very happy” to finally say he’s single. Here, he also dished about their relationship behind closed doors, stating the pair went on one date after ‘Bachelor In Paradise’ before he flew to France for several months. While Romeo confessed they both hoped there was a chance things could work, he did state that he felt there was an “expectation” and “pressure” that came with dating Kira that he just didn’t like. 

Bachelor In Paradise season 8 now only has two remaining couples

While plenty of us tune in to see all the drama unfold on ‘Bachelor In Paradise,’ the people on the show are there to find their soulmates. Sadly, it seems that season 8 hasn’t been the most successful of all time, especially since Romeo Alexander and Kira Mengistu are officially through. Johnny DePhillipo and Victoria Fuller have since called off their engagement, while Jacob and Jill and Tyler Norris and Brittany Galvin have both broken up. Thankfully, there have also been some success stories from it all, as Danielle Maltby and Michael Allio appear to be going strong, while Serene Russell and Brandon Jones are still officially engaged.

‘Bachelor In Paradise’s Romeo Alexander and Kira Mengistu are officially through, and many fans weren’t surprised to hear the news. Unfortunately, it appears that neither were the pair involved, with no love seemingly lost between the two.
