Kira leaves with Romeo after failing to connect with Jacob on Bachelor in Paradise
In Episode 5 of Bachelor in Paradise, Jill established a romantic connection with Jacob. After their one-on-one date, when they returned to the beach, she was seen beaming with happiness. However, her happiness was short-lived, as former cast member Kira, who was sent home last week, made her way back to the show to explore her connection with Jacob once again.
Kira explained that she had some "unfinished business" to take care of, and wanted to connect with Jacob. The duo had spent a considerable amount of time together before the first rose ceremony, where Jacob ended up giving his rose to Lace, sending an upset Kira home.
After returning to Bachelor in Paradise, Kira wished to clear things up with Jacob and see if there was a second chance with him. She said:
"The reason I'm here is because I was blindsided when you, you know, decided not to give me your rose, and I had a couple of days to process it, and I honestly haven't been able to, like, get you out of my mind. I know that we didn't know each other for very long but I know what I felt was real even though it was new."
Kira further stated that she still had feelings for Jacob and that he felt like "home." However, after Jill walked off upset, Jacob confessed to having feelings for the latter, and bid Kira goodbye. He said:
"We've established some very good chemistry....I still wish that things had gone differently, a little bit, but at the same time, I don't think that connection is..I think that it's just too - it was just too forced. At least with me, it just - it actually was never gonna work out."
Although Jacob appreciated Kira for coming back for him, he made it clear that he didn't want to establish a connection with her and would rather pursue Jill, with whom he had connected and had deep conversations over the past 24 hours.
However, it wasn't all over for Kira on Bachelor in Paradise. While walking out, she connected with her former connection Romeo. She explained her conversation with Jacob and revealed that she finally found clarity. The star also wished to get a second chance with Romeo.
Kira and Romeo reflected on the latter's rose choice earlier and connected with each other, reigniting their relationship. When Kira asked Romeo that they leave the beach together as a couple, the latter, although hesitant at first, agreed eventually.
