Kate Gallivan went on a date with Hayden during ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ 2022

Hayden Markowitz returned for Bachelor in Paradise Season 8. Several contestants were leery of Hayden because of his past behavior on Rachel and Gabby’s season of The Bachelorette. Kate Gallivan finally agreed to go on a date with him, but it didn’t go well.

During the date, Hayden told Kate that he spent six digits for treatment on his dog Rambo, who has an inoperable brain tumor. “I don’t know about ya’ll, but I do not have six figures lying around,” Kate told cameras. “Unless that man has a tree in his backyard that is growing money, I think his priorities are a little misaligned.”

The teaser for week 7 makes it seem like Hayden’s money may appeal to Kate, but it’s worth noting that these clips can often be misleading in the way they are edited. “Logan is like really great, but Hayden has money,” Kate says in the teaser. “Which we love. I don’t want to have to carry someone else.”
