The Traitors Stars Tara Lipinski and Colton Underwood Share Their Real-Life Love Stories
This episode brings two heartfelt conversations with reality TV personalities - both faithfuls on this season of The Traitors - Tara Lipinski and Colton Underwood about how their real-life love stories unfolded — moving beyond the drama of reality shows like The Traitors and The Bachelor into deeper personal experiences. Jove focuses on relationships, emotional growth, family planning, and the evolution of love once the cameras stop!
Tara’s love story reminds us that the best romances don’t arrive on cue — they show up when we least expect them, quietly and without the theatrics. After a world of castles, strategy, and cameras, what she found was something far more meaningful: a connection rooted in vulnerability and real life. She shares how stepping away from the heightened energy of reality TV allowed her to focus on what truly matters — partnership that feels steady, intentional, and deeply personal. It’s such a beautiful reminder that love isn’t about the performance; it’s about the presence.
We also talk about what happens after the confetti falls — the very real, very human transition into marriage. Tara opens up about “wedding blues,” that surprising emotional shift that can follow even the happiest day, and how growth really begins in the everyday moments that come after. From honest conversations about fertility and family planning to redefining what “happily ever after” actually looks like, her story is layered, modern, and full of heart. It’s not about the spotlight — it’s about building a life that feels authentic, grounded, and true to who you are together.
Colton’s story is such a powerful evolution — from the spectacle of televised romance to something far more grounded and intentional. What happens when the cameras turn off and real life begins? For him, it meant unlearning the idea that love has to be performative and stepping into something honest, nuanced, and deeply authentic. He reflects on how his time in the public eye shaped him — not just in how he dates, but in how he shows up emotionally. There’s a maturity in recognizing that real partnership isn’t built on grand gestures, but on quiet consistency and courage.
What resonates most is his commitment to vulnerability. Colton speaks about choosing openness — even when it’s uncomfortable — and making intentional decisions that support a lasting, healthy relationship. We also dive into what “family” means today and how redefining that word can be incredibly freeing. Rather than following a prescribed path, he’s focused on building a future that feels aligned, personal, and true. It’s a beautiful reminder that happily ever after isn’t a formula — it’s something you co-create, with clarity, heart, and a whole lot of honesty.
We adore Tara and Colton and are so happy to have them in our Weddings-ish Family and so enjoyed watching them on The Traitors and cannot wait to see what they each do next, we’ll be cheering them on from here!
