However, Chad set the record straight on his relationship with Sophie via Instagram Stories on Wednesday, August 21.
Chad posted a screenshot of several web-article headlines reporting that Chad and Sophie may be dating, but Chad revealed that's not the case.
Chad said in a video statement, "So because I'm getting a lot of messages, I figured I'll go ahead and say something. We're not dating. We just did an event together."
"We had a lot of fun," Chad added, "but we're not dating."
TMZ reported earlier this week that Chad and Sophie had shown up to a Yung Bleu concert in Santa Ana, CA, this past weekend together.
Chad and Sophie were reportedly spotted flirting and looking cozy with one another while listening to the music.
Sources told TMZ that Sophie and Chad also left the music venue together at the end of the evening.
Sophie and Chad subsequently fueled dating speculation by posting a TikTok video together in which Chad handed Sophie a rose and she tossed it away, seeming totally disinterested.
Chad was a loud and outspoken fitness trainer and luxury real estate agent from Oklahoma when he appeared on The Bachelor franchise. He memorably yelled, "F-ck you, Chris Harrison," on Bachelor in Paradise.
Chad later briefly dated The Bachelor 23 alum Caitlin Clemmens in early 2019.

But Rob and Sophie reportedly broke up again in June.
Earlier this week, Sophie posted a video on Instagram of herself looking beautiful and having fun with friends.
"I love life," Sophie wrote on the clip. "No revenge, just everyone telling me I look happier now."
The spouses' tumultuous dynamic has been featured on Season 8 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, which is currently airing its multi-part Tell All event on Sunday nights on TLC.
On Part 3 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s Tell All that just aired on Sunday night, Sophie confirmed that she and Rob were separated -- and not living together -- but happened to be casually hanging out.
"I'm planning on moving back to Los Angeles in probably a couple of months," Rob revealed.

Rob shared, "I feel like a husband who has been put in the friend zone."
Rob claimed he and Sophie had zero intimacy in their relationship. (Sophie previously admitted she and Rob didn't have sex for six months of their one-year marriage).
Sophie clarified how she and Rob were cuddling, but that clearly didn't seem to satisy Rob's needs.
"We're both always unhappy. I don't want to have sex if I'm sad," Sophie explained, adding how she needs an emotional connection to be intimate with a man.
She added, "He doesn't give words of affirmation and so I just feel like sh-t all the time."
Rob insisted he was doing everything Sophie had asked him to do, but Sophie called him "delusional."
The 90 Day Fiance cast asked Rob and Sophie to stop the back and forth and just make a decision once and for all.
"Do I want a divorce right now? No. Is it a possibility after today? Yes," Sophie admitted to the cameras. "It's very difficult because I can't see Rob not in my life."
