Bachelor alum Cassie Randolph parties with new ‘boyfriend’ Brighton Reinhardt after Colton Underwood comes out as gay

THE Bachelor alum Cassie Randolph was seen partying with her new “boyfriend” Brighton Reinhardt.

The fun day comes after Cassie’s ex Colton Underwood came out as gay.

Cassie, 26, was all smiles when she was seen spending time in her hometown of Huntington Beach, California with Brighton, 25.

The former Bachelor contestant appeared comfortable as she pulled her blond hair back in a ponytail and a dark gray hoodie at a party held at the Shorebreak Hotel in Huntington Beach.

Meanwhile, Brighton sported a similarly casual look as he wore a gray tank top and black baseball cap.

The rumored couple happily chatted with guests, including Cassie’s parents, her brother Landon, her sister Michelle and Michelle’s British actor boyfriend Greg Sulkin.

The possible date comes after Cassie’s ex Colton, 29, came out as gay during an interview with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America.

Back in April, Colton revealed to Robin that he is gay by sharing: “I ran from myself for a long time and hated myself for a long time and I’m gay.

“I came to terms with that earlier this year and have been processing it
the next step, letting people know… I’m still nervous. It’s been a journey for sure…”

The former couple met when Colton was the leading man on The Bachelor.

While Cassie quit the show before he could hand out his final rose, the reality star ultimately persuaded her to give their relationship a chance.

Following the couple’s split, Cassie filed a restraining order and accused Colton of placing a tracking device on her car, harassing and stalking her and showing up at her parents’ property.

She would later drop the restraining order.

Shortly after Colton’s big news was revealed, Cassie took to her Instagram Stories and wrote: “Thank you everyone for the kind comments and messages.

“It means so much. And yes, some of you are asking about my YouTube for this week.

“I decided to take the week off, but will have one again next week!!”

Meanwhile, sources claimed Cassie learned that Colton is gay at the same time as everyone else when the interview aired.

An insider told People: “Cassie found out Colton is gay the same time that everyone else did. She’s still processing it.”

The source added that Colton’s interview brought Cassie back to their difficult relationship, sharing: “It was a very traumatic time for Cassie. It’s tough to be in the headlines and revisit painful memories.”
