"Paradise was great, it was horrible and great at the same time," Caelynn told Ashley, according to E! News.
"Whether or not I'm in a relationship or not, you will just have to wait and stay tuned and watch on August 5."
August 5 is when Bachelor in Paradise's new season premieres on ABC.
In addition to Caelynn and Dean, viewers will see many fan-favorites return to the show including Tayshia Adams, Hannah Godwin, Blake Horstmann, Mike Johnson and more.
Caelynn and Dean reportedly sparked a romance in Paradise and continued dating after the show.
"Dean and Caelynn are dating," a source told E! News last week. "They are now in Venice, Italy and plan to travel around Italy together before coming back to [Los Angeles]."
The report came after an eyewitness took a photo of what appeared to be Caelynn and Dean walking down the street together in Venice and sent it to Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone, who then posted the photo on Twitter on July 13.
Prior to their trip to Venice, the source said Dean had traveled to Spain and Caelynn ended up meeting him there, resulting in four days spent together.

An eyewitness told E! News the pair were "very affectionate" at the restaurant.

Dean then developed a reputation of being a playboy on Bachelor in Paradise by getting involved in a love triangle with Kristina Schulman and Danielle Lombard.
Dean never entered a serious relationship with Kristina or Danielle, but he later fell for Lesley Murphy on The Bachelor Winter Games, which filmed in late 2017. Dean and Lesley, however, split around April 2018.
However, as recently as six months ago Dean had said all Bachelor Nation relationships were fake and insisted he would not want to be in a relationship with another franchise alum ever again.
"None of these Bachelor relationships are real, not a single one of them," Dean told Access in January.
"Maybe you've got some marriages and some kids and those ones are real, but every one of them's fake and contrived and I'm not into that."
"Granted, there are some that are real, like those ones I guess, but boyfriend-girlfriend relationships, every single one of them is fake," Dean said.

"From a marketing side of things, if you're in a relationship, you get more good notoriety, whatever it is and it's just like, who cares? I'm not going to be in a relationship for the sake of, like, image or selling more things on Instagram, you know?" Dean ranted in his interview with Access.
"So if you wouldn't be in a relationship if all of that weren't there, you shouldn't be in a relationship to begin with. That's kind of the approach I take."
Dean elaborated, "And that's kind of why I never want to get in a Bachelor relationship again because, whether or not, there is an inkling or whisper of a possibility that the other person might be in it because they see the value in it monetarily or whatever, social status wise."
