What's Up With 'BiP's Cassandra & Jonathan?

by Marenah Dobin

It's safe to say that we were all surprised to learn that Cassandra Ferguson and Jonathan Holloway were dating when it was revealed at the Bachelor in Paradise reunion show. They weren't even on the show at the same time, so it's weird to me that they ever met, let alone had the time to form a romantic connection, but it happened. And they seemed really happy about it, with all of their loving Instagram captions as evidence. They even got their two adorable sons to get together as playmates. It came out of nowhere, but the cuteness was totally appreciated by Bachelor Nation. But is it possible that they are over already? Are Cassandra and Jonathan still dating?

As of this second, there is not a definitive answer to this query. In all honesty, the evidence is a little bit lacking for each possibility, but no news is good news, right? So what "evidence" do we have to work with? Instagram posts, of course. The reality TV couple is pretty into the photo updates, but never at an insane frequency. Most recently, Cassandra posted about Jonathan about three weeks ago. Some people could say that's a red flag because there "should" be something more recent, but that's not how I'm looking at it. Three weeks ago isn't that long, especially given the fact that these two are busy single parents with jobs. They have plenty of other things to worry about — and to post about.

Plus, if Cassandra and Jonathan broke up, there would probably be some sort of announcement. Or at the very least, I would expect a passive aggressive tweet or some sort of inspirational quote posted on Instagram. On top of that, there haven't been any reports with "sources" saying that they are not together, so let's be optimistic.

I think it's safe to say that things are going about the same for the couple. I think we should worry if there's no sign of togetherness after the holidays and New Year's Eve — two prime occasions to post about your significant other. Only time will tell, and hopefully these two can make it work.
