Why Hannah Brown Missed Filming the ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Finale

Hannah Brown may have missed the Bachelor in Paradise season 10 finale filming, but it was for a good reason.

When asked what she can tease in three words, Brown, 30, replied to Entertainment Weekly on Tuesday, August 26, “To be honest, I wasn’t even in Paradise for the finale (I was off to get married!), so it will be just as fun to watch for me, but if I had to guess: Dramatic, shocking, romantic!”

Brown tied the knot with Adam Woolard in an intimate ceremony held at Domaine du Mont Leuze in France on July 26.

“We wanted something really timeless and classic, and really just the celebration of our love with our friends and family,” Brown told People at the time about their nuptials. “We want our community to feel loved and appreciated and we want to pour into them, but we also have to make sure the day’s about us and we feel connected.”

Bachelor Nation met Brown when she vied for the affections of Colton Underwood on The Bachelor season 23 in 2019 before being named the lead of The Bachelorette later that year. Brown, who was briefly engaged to Jed Wyatt, made a return to the franchise with her role on Bachelor in Paradise season 10.

“I think of myself as Paradise Relations,” Brown exclusively told Us Weekly in April. “I am there to make sure that whatever people need, whatever the experience that they’re supposed to have, I’m going to be there.”

Brown shared that she was “going to be just as surprised as everyone else” about season 10 of the spinoff show, but took her duties on the beaches of Costa Rica seriously.

“People need help setting up a magical moment with the person that they’re falling in love with? I’m your girl,” she told Us. “If you need some advice on how to express your interest in someone, come to me.”

Brown gushed at the time that it’s “so awesome to be back, but just in a new role.” She added,
“I’m really honored and super excited to, hopefully, be a really helpful addition that these contestants can really lean on, and feel safe to be heard and also be able to feel like, ‘OK, she’s going to tell me like it is.’”

The Bachelor in Paradise season 10 finale airs on Tuesday, September 3, on ABC at 8 p.m. ET.
