‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Season 2 Couples: Jade Roper, Tanner Tolbert Say Show Pays $88K to Couples Who Don’t Break Up [Photo]
"Bachelor in Paradise" Season 2 couple Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert have revealed that the show paid them to get engaged.
According to Roper and Tolbert, if they stay together for two years, they will receive at least $88,000, reports Celebrity Dirty Laundry.
Instead of cash, the $88,000 is given in the form of a Neil Lane engagement ring which the man uses to propose. In exchange, the jeweler receives free advertising on the ABC hit matchmaking show.
The engaged couple gets to keep the Neil Lane engagement ring if they do not break up for two years, according to their contract. If the couple splits earlier, they have to return the ring to the jeweler.
Roper and Tolbert are the most recent Bachelor Nation couple to get engaged. On the "Bachelor in Paradise" Season 2 finale, Tolbert asked for Roper's hand in marriage using the Neil Lane engagement ring. She said "yes."
If Roper and Tolbert get married on television, they will receive a bonus of an unspecified amount, swag, free products and they will own the $88,000 ring, which can be sold to the highest bidder.
Wetpaint reports that the "Bachelor in Paradise" engagement ring is not as expensive as what "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" couples receive -- their rings are worth more than $100,000.
On "The Bachelorette," Jef Holm gave Emily Maynard a $150,000 Neil Lane Jewelry engagement ring, which was the most expensive in the Bachelor franchise's history, but the couple later split.
Neil Lane Jewelry is a sponsor of ABC's Bachelor franchise, according to Wetpaint, and part of their sponsorship is to donate the engagement ring if one is to be offered during the final rose ceremony.
