Former pro basketball player Graham Bunn got dumped by DeAnna Pappas on The Bachelorette, but he's rebounding nicely with soap star Chrishell Stause. How unoriginal! You may recall Bachelor Bob Guiney dated and married soap star Rebecca Budig a few years ago, after his romance with chosen bachelorette Estella Gardinier crashed and burned after all of one month. (See: Shayne Lamas and Matt Grant.)
Bunn's rather dramatic exit from the show -- in which he left a tearful DeAnna a mysterious note -- was dogged with rumors after the fact, with speculation that he had asked to leave the show because he was dating someone else. Bunn claims that he and Stause dated off and on before The Bachelorette, but had stopped seeing each other before he appeared on the show.
In other words, he put the relationship on hold so he could become almost famous, and now the couple is back on. Check back here in three months, max, to read the news of their breakup.
Meantime, after moving on from Bachelor fiance Matt Grant, Shayne Lamas has announced that she will be keeping the engagement ring. Classy!
