Bachelor in Paradise season 7 cast member Ivan Hall has announced that he has recently gotten back together with his girlfriend from college, and as a result will not be returning to Bachelor in Paradise this summer. Ivan's journey on Bachelor in Paradise set off on a positive note, when he quickly formed a connection with Jessenia Cruz who had appeared on Matt James' season of The Bachelor. When Jessenia ended up breaking things off with Ivan to explore a relationship with Chris Conran, he briefly explored where things could go with other women on the beach including Kendall Long and Chelsea Vaughn. By the end of the season, Ivan had not been successful in establishing a strong relationship and ended up leaving the show as a result of breaking the rules to go visit Alexa Caves off camera.

Ivan and Tayshia formed a quick connection, bonding over things such as their family values as well as both of them being biracial. Tayshia ultimately eliminated Ivan during fantasy suites, as the two discovered they had irreconcilable differences when it came to their views on religion.
