Fans couldn’t hide their surprise and enthusiasm for this new reality TV power couple, and now that their romance is out in the open, they can’t wait to see what’s next for them.
Serene Russell And Brendan Morais Announced Their Relationship
As one fan put it, Serene Russell and Brendan Morais getting together was not on anyone’s “bachelor bingo card,” but just one look at the (many) pictures the couple posted makes it clear that they’re very happy together. No one knows for sure how long Serene and Brendan have been together, but it looks like they have shared a lot of experiences together if what they shared on Instagram is any indication.

Bachelor In Paradise Will See New Changes After A Long Hiatus (And There’s A Brand-New Showrunner)
Fans are anticipating exciting new changes after the announcement of a new showrunner for Bachelor in Paradise.
Overall, the reaction from fans has been overwhelmingly positive. While some of them were still confused about this unexpected turn of events, they were very happy for them and are rooting for the couple.
Bachelor fans will remember that both Serene and Brendan have dated other Bachelor Nation members. Brendan dated Pieper James, and Serene dated Brandon Jones. Both relationships ended back in 2023.
Serene’s Tumultuous Breakup With Brandon Jones
Serene looks incredibly happy with Brandon Morais, but her previous experience with a different Bachelor Nation alum famously ended pretty badly. She and Brandon Jones were together for a little under a year, and even got engaged, but ultimately, things didn’t work out.
“After many months, today we have ultimately decided to end our engagement,” they wrote in a joint Instagram statement back in 2023. “We have tried to work privately on our relationship which has been incredibly challenging in the public eye. This has been immensely hard to accept and painful, as there is a lot of love between the two of us.”

Aaron is hopeful he can find love if he joins Bachelor in Paradise.
However, while at first it seemed to be a mutual, drama-free decision, things got dramatic really quickly. A couple of months later, Serene accused Brandon of cheating, which he immediately denied, but his explanation didn’t make him look too good.
“To be transparent, before leaving for Texas, my partner and I made the difficult choice to go our separate ways. As this was a public relationship, we both decided to hold off on sharing the news until we mutually felt it was time, so we [just] shared the news with family and friends.”
“Unfortunately, during this time of private separation, coming back from Austin, a video [of myself dancing with another woman] came to light, that while harmless, made my ex-partner upset.”
Of course, by this point, this is all water under the bridge. Serene and Brendan look like they have built a good relationship, and hopefully, with their friends and fans having their backs, they will build a beautiful life.
