In her interview with US Weekly back in July following the show's season 2 release, Chelsea Vaughn discussed her relationship with Austin Tinsley, stating:

“I just looked at him and I just thought like, ‘OK, he’s that good looking, he’s 6’6. He’s a California guy.’ I just didn’t think I was gonna be his type. … And then he caught me by surprise and then the whole time he just kept catching me by surprise. But it was really once we started talking more that it was really like, ‘Wow, we really connect mentally and emotionally a lot.”

In the interview, she added:

“I was just drawn to that and attracted to that. And I think I was just really intrigued by the way that [Austin] thinks in general because like he said, we don’t really think the same. And so it made both of us gain a new perspective and see where the other person was coming from. And we continue to do that now.”

Despite having a great relationship going on the show, Chelsea Vaughn and Austin Tinsley decided to work on it and didn't get engaged. They did, however, move to Jersey City, New Jersey, together.

Austin Tinsley explained the following in an interview with US Weekly regarding the moving-in process:

“I wanna make sure one that she’s comfortable with me being around and having another person in the house and then making sure I’m on top of things. I think dishes are probably my weakest point.”

As per US Weekly, there is currently no information available about what Tinsley and Vaughn plan to do with their joint apartment in New Jersey.
