Season 14 of The Bachelorette has been full of drama partially because a lot of cast members seem to have ties to each other. Becca Kufrin sent a man home before the first rose ceremony because she knew him before and they had zero chemistry.

Now there is another surprising Bachelor Nation connection. Colton Underwood has already been recognized for having a famous ex. But it turns out that isn’t the only famous person who he has a romantic history with. He admitted to hooking up with Tia Booth as well.

So when and how did this happen (page 5)? What is Booth’s friend saying about the encounter (page 6)? Here are seven things to know about their secret hookup.

1. Tia Booth made it to hometown dates before getting sent home

  • The former contestant was sent home before Kufrin last season.

In case you need to be refreshed, Tia Booth was on the last season of The Bachelor competing for Arie Luyendyk Jr.’s heart. She made it all the way to hometown dates before getting sent home. Kufrin was the last woman standing that season before Luyendyk Jr. dumped her for Lauren Burnham.

At first, it looked like Booth had a chance at becoming the next Bachelorette because her breakup with Luyendyk Jr. was pretty emotional and shocking. But that was pretty much taken away by the season’s twist ending.

On After the Finale Rose, Booth was one of the many women there to support Kufrin when it was announced she would be the next bachelorette. So it’s pretty awkward knowing that they are friends.

Next: This is what Underwood said happened between them.
