In the words of Taylor Swift, Grant Kemp and Ali Oetjen are never, ever getting back together. We don’t think. This is Bachelor In Paradise, so it’s anyone’s guess, really.
After being accused of dating Ali just for “fame”, Grant has defended himself by saying if that was the case, he would never have chosen the one girl on the island who wasn’t famous. Charming.
“If I was trying to chase fame by dating someone, I wouldn’t have dated the girl who hasn’t been on TV for years,” he told Daily Mail.
Ali, 31, appeared on the first season of The Bachelor back in 2013, and has kept a relatively low profile ever since.
Meanwhile, Grant, 29, appeared on the 2016 season of the US Bachelorette.
And in an interview with Yahoo7 Be, fellow Bachelor In Paradise contestant Leah Costa said she tried to warn Ali about Grant’s intentions.
“I’ve actually spoken to Ali since and she was like, ‘I should’ve listened to you. You warned me.’ And I was like, ‘Yup, Grant just wants to be famous,'” Leah said.
“I feel really sorry for her – I don’t think she deserved to have her heart broken.”
Initially it was Leah, 25, who took an interest in Grant, but the two went their separate ways after just one date, and then Grant moved onto Ali.

I was disappointed to hear Ali is the next bachelorette, I would of wanted to see Laurina, she's beautiful, smart and witty...maybe the producers will change their mind??
