Bachelor in Paradise’s Carly Waddell and Evan Bass Call It Quits: All the Signs They Were Headed for a Split

Bachelor in Paradise couple Carly Waddell and Evan Bass announced their separation in December 2020 after three years of marriage — and for some fans the signs of a breakup have been evident for months. The couple, who met on season 3 of the ABC dating show in Paradise in 2016, tied the knot in a televised ceremony in June 2017. “Evan and I had a dream wedding on Saturday. It was truly the perfect day with friends and family in Mexico. There was no better way to celebrate the start of our forever journey together,” Waddell captioned a photo from the couple’s big day. “The setting, in a garden overlooking the ocean, created a stunning visual that I don’t think anyone will forget.” She added: “The love from Bachelor Nation has been overwhelming and we are so grateful to all who helped make this day amazing. I’m so happy and SO in love with this man.” The pair later welcomed their daughter, Isabella, in February 2018 and son Charlie in November 2019. Before becoming a family of four, the duo went on a European babymoon and celebrated their growing brood and strong relationship. [jwplayer xe7aZv0r-l3ahXupL] “Real romance in Paris is when you cheers with sparkling grape juice with a broken hand, on a rainy balcony, with a husband complaining of constipation and swollen feet (deja-vu to Evan in Paradise),” Waddell captioned an Instagram post in France in July 2019. Despite being one of Bachelor Nation’s favorite couples, the duo confirmed their split on December 23, after being absent from one another’s social media accounts for six months.

Evan’s Social Media Hiatus

“There’s never been a better paradise love story,” Bass captioned a photo in June of the couple from a body painting date on BIP. The same month, he reflected on his time in Bachelor Nation, in honor of JoJo Fletcher’s season, which he made his TV debut on in May 2016, re-airing. “I’ll be forever grateful for everything the bachelor has done for me that I’m OK looking like an idiot again tonight,” he wrote on June 29. “And of course, the positives far outweigh the silliness. Jojo was the best and so sweet (I HAVE NO IDEA WHY SHE KEPT ME AROUND), the small handful of non-problematic guy friends, and I now have a passion for shirts that don’t rip.” He added: “Oh and it all led to a dramatic turnaround on paradise that led to wedding bells and beautiful children :).” The former reality star has kept a low profile on Instagram ever since, sharing a few Instagram Stories over the past six months — but no posts.

No More Kids

The pair revealed in June that they had no plans on expanding their family, joking that another baby could lead to the end of their relationship. “The other day when I was talking to this card reader, she read my cards, like, five times and she said twice that we were gonna have another baby,” Waddell told her husband in a June episode of the “Mommies Tell All” podcast. “I don’t think that we should because I’m tired.” Bass, who also has three sons from a previous relationship, replied, “I don’t think we’d make it if we had another.” After his wife said that his comment wasn’t “very nice,” the Tennessee native clarified, “We would make it for a little while longer, but … they would probably lead to different paths.”

Last Family Photo

The “Dream Train” singer shared a group snap on Halloween in October, showing off the squad’s coordinated costumes. Waddell dressed as the grandma from the fable The Little Red Riding Hood, while Bass posed as the Huntsman. Their children were the Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf.

Carly Moves Into a New Place

Waddell posted a vlog on December 6, titled, “I Moved! Mini House Tour,” which sparked split speculation among some of her fans. “Did Evan move with you?” one user commented on the post, noting that “I moved sounds singular. Call me confused.” Throughout the home tour, the mother of two spoke in the first person and very rarely said “we” when speaking about the new house. “This is my new green couch,” she said at one point in the clip. “I bought a TV stand,” she later said, pointing out that she will put it together later.

Photo Evidence

During her home tour vlog, Waddell panned to her living room shelves, which did not feature any photos of Bass. There were, however, pictures of the kids and one of her holding Charlie.

Evan Celebrates His Birthday Without Carly

When Bass turned 38 on December 17, he did it with his kids by his side, but not his wife. Bass shared a photo from his birthday celebrations via his Instagram Story on December 22, which he captioned, “My loves.” The photo featured Bass, his and Waddell’s two little ones, and his other three older sons, Nathan, Liam and Ensley.

Flying Solo

Waddell shared a photo of herself and her daughter on December 14, via Instagram, sparking even more speculation that she was parenting solo. “My own little Cindy Lou Hou 🎄,” she captioned the twinning shot of them in matching outfits. “WHERE IS EVAN,” one user asked in the comments. Another fan questioned why she wasn’t with Bass for his birthday during the week. “She didn’t even mention him,” the user pointed out. “His Insta story doesn’t have her in it with the whole fam. Somethings def up.”

Blogging for One

The singer has been making her vlogs more personal throughout the month of December. In addition to her new home tour video, she shared a “Cooking With Carly” and a “New Mom Advice” video, featuring her and her kids. Bass was featured in her video about meeting Santa earlier in the month, but has otherwise been noticeably absent from her clips.

Clearing Their Feeds

After news of Bass and Waddell's split made headlines, social media users noticed that the duo no longer followed each other on Instagram. However, the "Mommies Tell All" podcast host still has Bass tagged in her bio next to a red heart emoji.
