Michael Allio Welcomes Girlfriend Jade Marie Chapman Into His Home: A New Chapter of Love and Healing

In a heartfelt and intimate video shared on Instagram, Bachelor in Paradise alum Michael Allio officially confirmed his relationship with girlfriend Jade Marie Chapman, inviting her into his home and his life. The 42-year-old reality star, who became a beloved figure on The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise, narrated a touching video that showcased his family’s new chapter together, offering fans a glimpse into his journey of love and healing.

A New Chapter Begins

In the video posted on Sunday, May 25, Allio took viewers through a series of clips featuring himself, his young son James, and Jade. As he reflected on the home he and his late wife, Laura, once shared, he narrated: “Dear home, Oh, you’ve seen a lot over the years. A witness to first steps and quiet tears, to healing in progress and love in motion. And now, something new.” His words expressed the bittersweet shift in his life—a new love blossoming in a place that had already witnessed years of both heartache and joy.

“Allio’s emotional narration continued, “But just like you had before, you’ll make space once again, for new love, new memories to grow. And so, a new story begins. One that’s ours, filled with moments that feel like home, and the kind of love that only grows when shared.”

This powerful message resonated deeply with fans, as it marked a significant milestone in Allio’s journey of healing and moving forward after the tragic loss of his wife Laura six years ago. The narrative beautifully captured how love and life evolve, and how space in one’s heart—and home—can be made for new beginnings.

Remembering Laura

Allio’s emotional journey has been defined by his deep love for Laura, who passed away six years ago. In January, he shared a reflective post on Instagram, marking the anniversary of her passing. “It’s been six years since Laura passed. Never stop saying their name. Thank you to all of those people that helped get me here,” Allio wrote, accompanied by a personal memory about Laura involving angelfish. He recalled how he had once shared with her the story of angelfish that mate for life and often die shortly after the loss of their mate, a thought that had resonated deeply with her.

Allio reflected, “Years later I’d learn that Angelfish don’t actually die from heartbreak, but instead exhibit confusion with their partner no longer there. That was over a decade ago. Now, six years since Laura passed, I know firsthand how heartbreak can feel like a kind of death.” This profound realization marked a turning point in Allio’s journey of grief, which ultimately led him to find new love with Jade.

Michael and Jade’s Journey

Michael confirmed his relationship with Jade in January, sharing a heartfelt post about their bond. “We met in 2021 and became instant friends,” he began. Their friendship blossomed into something deeper over the years, and Allio emphasized the importance of building a relationship on a foundation of friendship. “For years, that’s exactly how we stayed—always there for each other at any hour, sharing laughs when life got tough, and offering support when it was needed most,” he wrote.

Reflecting on the deep connection they share, Allio continued, “There’s something special about being friends first. It sounds obvious, but I’d never truly experienced it until I met her.” His words spoke volumes about the depth of their bond and how it has transformed his life in ways he never imagined possible. “From the moment I wake up, she’s in my thoughts, lifting my hope and filling my heart,” Allio shared.

Jade, who has seamlessly integrated into his life, has helped complete their family, bringing warmth and love into their home. The couple’s story resonates as one of healing, transformation, and the beauty of finding new love after experiencing great loss.

Moving Forward: A Love That Completes a Family

Allio’s journey has been a public one, as he first entered the spotlight on The Bachelorette Season 17, where he competed for Katie Thurston’s heart. Though he was eliminated, Allio continued his search for love on the beaches of Mexico in Bachelor in Paradise, where his authenticity and vulnerability captured the hearts of fans.

Now, with Jade by his side and a fresh chapter beginning for him and his son James, Allio’s story serves as an inspiration to those who have faced grief, showing that it is possible to find love again, build a new family, and continue moving forward, despite life’s challenges.

As fans continue to follow Allio’s journey, it is clear that his path of healing and love with Jade will be a chapter filled with hope, new beginnings, and the power of shared experiences. Allio’s heartfelt message of family, love, and growth is a powerful reminder that life is about more than just moving on—it’s about making space for love in all its forms, no matter where it comes from.
