Brayden left Bachelor in Paradise's ninth season single and seemingly with regrets about having carelessly bounced from girl to girl, but after filming, he settled down with Christina, who had competed on Zach Shallcross' season of The Bachelor.

Bachelor in Paradise had confirmed at the end of its finale broadcast on Thursday, December 7 that Brayden and Christina are currently dating, and the lovebirds took an opportunity to boast about their strong relationship immediately afterward via social media.

"AHHH! We can 'FINALEy' shout it from the rooftops!! Beyond the cameras and reality show drama, Brayden (aka MY BOYFRIEND!) and I found something truly special. In each other, we have a space where being unapologetically ourselves is not just accepted but celebrated! Something I never knew I was missing until I did," Christina wrote on December 7.

"We can finally share our goofy, love-filled world."

Christina went on to hint that Brayden will be moving from San Diego to her hometown of Nashville, where she lives with her daughter Blakely from her previous marriage.

"San Diego to Nashville won't be just a change of scenery but the next chapter in our journey as a team. A future where laughter, authenticity, and the strength of 'US' define our story," Christina continued.

"From goofy antics to heartfelt moments, we're on this adventure together, cheering each other on, and creating a home filled with laughter and love. Grateful for the ease of being exactly who we are with one another."

Christina concluded, "There's something incredibly special about finding a love that feels like home. #UnapologeticallyInLove #NashvilleBound #imethiminPB #RealityToReality #DangleNation #ChristinaMandrell."

Brayden, for his part, admitted he "finally" took Bachelor in Paradise bartender Wells Adams' advice.

Brayden wrote via Instagram Stories on December 7, "[I] found myself a 'southern belle.' All jokes aside, she has been the biggest blessing in my life. She has been there for me through very tough times already and has showed me so much grace through it all."

Brayden called Christina his "confidant" and added how she's his "accountability partner" and his "favorite person."

Brayden went on to write, "I'm so grateful that I no longer have to be hush-hush about our relationship," referring to how he and Christina had to keep their relationship a secret while Bachelor in Paradise's ninth season aired on ABC.

"I can finally shout it from the tops of the mountains. Love you babe. Thank you [for] being in my life."

Brayden added the following hashtags to his post, "#ifoundagirlilikemom #soexcite #sohappyithurts #keepingasecretsucks #thebachelor #bachelorinparadise."

In addition to their sweet posts, both Brayden and Christina uploaded video montages of fun and special moments they've shared together since Bachelor in Paradise wrapped filming this past summer.

The couple continue to document their romance on social media. Christina, for instance, posted a funny video of how she must deal with Brayden and Aaron Schwartzman's bromance.

And Christina also posted a video of Brayden joining her at the hair salon one morning.

"I'm lucky to have a boyfriend [who] can readily debrief me on my cycle when I ask him why I'm feeling moody. I'm so in love with the man, y'all," Christina wrote via Instagram Stories.

Both Brayden and Christina were villains on their respective The Bachelorette and The Bachelor seasons.

Brayden had rubbed Charity Lawson's bachelors the wrong way by aggressively pursuing Charity while not feeling ready for an engagement on The Bachelorette's twentieth season, and Christina was accused of being boastful and loud about her connection with Zach.

Some fans even accused Christina of being drunk all the time on The Bachelor, and she only lasted a few episodes.

While The Bachelor's 27th season was airing in February, Christina slammed the editing.

Christina opted not to join the Bachelor in Paradise cast, but Brayden looked for love on the beach in Mexico after failing to win Charity's heart.

Brayden dated Kat Izzo, Rachel Recchia and Becca Serrano in Paradise. He took a shot with Jess Girod before his ouster but ultimately went home without a rose and without a girlfriend.
