Despite forming what many fans felt was an unlikely and imperfect couple, Michelle Money and Cody Sattler are still together after Bachelor in Paradise.
Not only that, they’re even more smitten now than when the Bachelor in Paradise finale filmed back in June. The duo say they’ve fallen in love!
“It’s been so easy, and it’s only gotten better since the show ended,” Sattler tells Us in an interview. “It’s going in the right direction, I can tell you that!”
Money, a fan favorite from Brad Womack’s second season of The Bachelor, and Season 2 of Bachelor Pad, appeared to have struck out in Paradise too.
Then along came Cody, fresh off his failed attempt to woo Andi Dorfman on The Bachelorette. He wanted Michelle from day one. She came around.
“For me, it was either three strikes and you’re out, or third time’s a charm,” she says, noting that. “I’ve been through a lot with the Bachelor franchise.”
“I’ve had some amazing experiences and met incredible people, but I’ve never met anyone as amazing as Cody. I never thought someone like him existed.”
Wow. As for their current relationship, the lovebirds currently live in different states, but they talk and text “all day, every day,” and visit every other weekend.
Her nine-year-old daughter, Brielle, “loves Cody,” Money gushes. “We laugh nonstop. Cody is a big jungle gym for her … she climbs all over him.”
“They’re like two little kids,” she adds of her beau, “He’s such a positive, genuine, kind, loving spirit. Anyone who knows him will you tell you the same thing.”
Cody gushes right back: “I love everything about this girl. She’s just a down-to-earth woman. She’s beautiful, she’s a great mom. I just love how cool she is.”
“From the moment I met her, I just had this crazy connection with her. She gets me, I get her. It’s like I found my best friend who is the most beautiful woman on the planet.”
Sattler is so taken with his new girlfriend, in fact, that he’s planning a move to Salt Lake City, Utah, to be with Michelle and Brielle full time. Seriously!
“I want to marry this girl. I wouldn’t be moving to Salt Lake City if I didn’t see that in the future,” he says. “I can’t wait to call this woman my wife.”
“I want to get married,” the affable personal trailer openly admits, and “I can’t think of a better person to spend the rest of my life with than Michelle.”
Think it’ll last? We wish them nothing but the best and certainly hope so. Ditto Marcus Grodd and Lacy Faddoul, who are already engaged after Paradise!
