I don't believe it is fear of commitment with Tessa. It is the fear of losing her privacy and Andy just fueled that with all his cavorting with other women and his obsession of getting on the news. I do believe he loves her madly but he doesn't seem to know how to hold a relationship. He is the one who will have regrets.

Former Bachelor Andy Baldwin didn’t need the hit ABC show to find his future mate.
Since returning from a military mission in Palau, the naval doctor, 31, has been “quietly dating” Donald Trump’s ex, Marla Maples, 44.
The two took a romantic getaway to the Hawaiian island of Lanai over Easter weekend, a source tells Usmagazine.com.
"On Easter morning, Andy and Marla helped kids at [their Four Seasons Hotel] search for Easter eggs and they had a great time," the source says.
They first met last year, says the source, and even spent New Year’s together.
Adds the insider, “He is inspired by her.”

Well, folk, it's over before it began. Publicity stunt. She wants to be a has-been instead of a never-was and he wants to be on TV and in US magazine. I don't give a crap about Marla, but if Andy would just be quiet for once and beg Tessa to take him back, I think she would. I am positive that is what broke them up---Andy's media whoring.
No matter what anyone says... Andy will do what Andy will does best... if that makes sense... If he intends to be a dad of a few children.. He better be thinking of adoption.. Marla will not be able to supply his needs...I had respect for him as a person for all he had accomplished in his young life.. But,I am wondering if he may have inhaled a bit of the anesthesia they give for surgery. Because, if he was using his brain, which I believe is quite with it.. He would not be dating someone like Marla...Andy shake your head to clear it, inhale some clear oxygen and you will okay in the morning.
Andy is dating Kerry P. from season 6 and I live in hawaii and I know this for a fact.
Does Andy Baldwin(he is handsome!) knows what love and unconditional love is or vice versa with Tessa he dated before Marla? Too long for me to say! I am still going thru 'divorce....have lots of issue. I want to look for a good loyal faithful man who touches my heart forever I mean forever!!!!! with two lovely young girls on my own.. hmmm
If it is ok for an old/older man to pursue a young woman then why not the reverse? I found Tessa totally unsexy, boring, no boobs, no buns, no posture etc. and why Andy picked her baffles me other than perhaps her Asian looks.
Apparently Andy feels that Marla is so desperate that she will allow his friendships with other gay guys. Andy carries the gals on his shoulders and sells pictures of celebrities so he gets money. But he keeps his gay lovers private. Way to go, ANDY!
Andy is dating Mallory from Season 11. I live in Hawaii & I KNOW this!
Come on Andy... those eggs are dried up. Are they even there. Come on no matter how much Botox or surgery... it is old!
I turned 44 in February, and my husband will be 34 in May. We have two girls aged 8 and 5, and we have been together 12 years and married for 10. I don't see a problem with their age difference especially when you see these old geezers sometimes 25 years older than their wives. Big deal.
They are so cute together.
I belive its time we that we leave Andy and Tessa alone, give them time ,evtl they will be back together or not. only true love will prevele
I would not want my relationship draged trough all cheap media here.
Give them the space the deserve!!!!!!!!!!!
for myself
i belive the are a couple that matches and i have had my hopes high ..........
privacy is important
This is not important to you, but to me... I shouldn't judge anyone by some tabloid reports... I am a Christian, and I want to correct an earlier statement I made accusing Marla Maples of breaking up Donald and Ivana's marriage, and that sent Ivana over the edge... also that Marla tricked Donald into marrying her by having his baby... Being a Christian, I shouldn't be passing on gossip... (Feeling Guilty)
I cannot stand Marla Maples...She broke up Donald and Ivana's marriage, and that sent Ivana over the edge...Trapped Donald by having a baby ....(the oldest trick in the book)...Marla and Marla's mother were after Trump's money...and she got it, and now she is set for life...
Wake up Andrew!!! You seem to be a real nice guy ...
To Sara,
I totally agree!
All I can say it that there is something special about these two (Andy & Tessa)! The truth will prevail!!!
To all of you people you don't care for these two,PLEASE keep your coments to yourselves!! Andy & Tessa have been publically scrutinized for over a year now,LET THEM BE! Just because they went on a show to find love doesn't give you the right to judge them! They too are human just like you & I,with real feelings and real lives! I'm quite sure you wouldn't want complete strangers in your personal business day in and day out!
Andy, you are 100% correct when you stated "just human"! Follow your heart,have faith and believe! I wish you the best!
I hope Tessa doesn't regret her decision one day. It doesn't make sense if she still loves him, why wouldn't she want to be with him. There is never no guarantees, but love is one risk worth taking. I hope she realizes this before Andy is in a serious relationship, and it's too late.
Tessa is definitely not dating anyone else......she still loves Andy but is terrified of a committed relationship.....other poster here have been right on the money with that!! Andy is not dating Marla either.....he considers her a friend and sounding board........however, she is probably the last person he should be taking relationship advice from. As for Marla's true motives...it is anyone's guess........she is very self-absorbed but covers it up with lots of spiritual sounding talk....if Tessa and Andy could get away from all the media hype and the televison crowd ....they would stand a great chance of a lasting relationship. It is a shame Tessa couldn't have held out until Andy got to Washington DC....his life will be totally different there!!!
Andy would do anything for Tess.
Tess is an exceptional person, beautiful and kind. But, she has always been afraid of a committment.
From the show, see his conversation with Susie, this is the reason is all I will say.
Love was not the issue, fear was.
Andy and Tessa complemented each other so well. Wish Tessa would have stayed true to her words. She did seem to have commitment problems.
All of us make mistakes - one who really cares for the other person accepts that it takes giving and forgiving to make a relationship work.
I thought Tessa was dating someone else?
I do not believe that Andy is dating Marla. She does not fit what he is looking for in an ideal wife. too old and not into sports. What we have heard is how much Andy loves Tessa, but does anyone know how Tessa feels about Andy. Does she really love him our just playing with his emotions.
Anonymous 0859am, are you a personal friend? because if that is how Andy really feels, hope he issues a statement denying this article to clarify things.
Well said anonymous 8:37.......so true......just let me add that Andy fully admits that he made many mistakes with Tessa.....however, Tessa is not without mistakes herself.......but, guess what people, that is what makes a true relationship and usually makes it stronger in the end. Andy just wants a true and strong relationship with Tessa. As for Marla, she is at best, a good friend to Andy, and at worst, a wanna be star who is getting attention by hanging on to a good looking younger man and pretending to counsel him. I am not sure anyone, even Andy's friends or Andy himself, are totally sure what her true motives are.
Response to anonymous 12:47........Andy is not obssessed with Tessa, he is in love totally with her......she has given him mixed signals for months......I think she probably loves him, but is very scared of committment. I personally find it refreshing to see a man who went on a reality show ACTUALLY fall in love, not just pretend for the public. Andy would marry Tessa in a heartbeat and would probably wait for her as long as she needed, if she just said the word. I hope Tessa will change her mind and decide to reach out and grab some happiness with Andy.......If not, I fear she will regret it for the rest of her life. Not many men are willing to wear their heart on their sleeve like Andy has with Tessa......that is true love. No way is that setting a bad example for anyone.
Andy is still in love with Tessa and is having a tough time getting over her.
Tessa (on the show and since) has given Andy mixed signals, somewhat of a commitment phobe. Not much different in real life than on the show, it's all there to see.
They are not together though and Marla is a friend and advisor.
Andy is leaving Hawaii soon.
I agree, this has got to be an April Fools joke!
Tessa took Andy off of her Face book page, and Andy took her off of his. He is so stuck on her and all the videos they had together. If I were Tessa I would demand for him to remove them all. That is the past, he is obsessed with her and can't take rejection. What a bad influence he is showing others that look up to him. Isn't it strange how so many girls from the show have found significant others. That speaks volumes for Andy. LOSER.
Andy needs to take advice from Matt Grant. Matts parents are older and so he didn't grow up with his dad participating in very many functions.
Andy will find the same thing if he continues with Marla. The children won't know their mother past 18. And for their friends she will look, and be talked about as their grandmother. How sad for the children.
Andy, Andy, Andy, are you out of your freakin' mind!
I would just love to hear what his Grandpa thinks of this!
