Bachelor Nation has taken over the NFL with a double date.
and attended the Kansas City Chiefs game on Friday, November 29, to watch them defeat the Las Vegas Raiders 19-17 — with fellow Bachelor Nation friends. The Bachelor in Paradise couple was joined by former Bachelorette and her boyfriend, .
“A Chiefs win, a heartwarming Hallmark Channel Holiday movie, and time spent with friends,” Roper, 37, captioned an Instagram post on Monday, December 2. “It doesn’t get better than that!”
She included a selfie, snapped by Young, 31, that featured both couples. Tolbert, 37, also posted a photo of the foursome on social media, which Young shared to her own Instagram Story.
One day later, Roper and Tolbert also attended the premiere of Hallmark’s Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, which premiered on Saturday, November 30.
“Many Hallmark moments were had,” Young captioned a recap of her weekend, which included video clips of her and Leius along with Roper and Tolbert at the game.
Young first teased her relationship with Leius in October 2023, more than one year after she and ex-fiancé called off their engagement in June 2022.
The former Bachelorette star was actually at a Chiefs game when she first posted a photo of Leius kissing her on the cheek. (How far they’ve come!)
Young hard-launched their relationship in October 2023, showing off her new man’s face for the first time, but waited a few months before sharing details about how they first met.
“She has a good friend, and her friend has a little brother, who I know, and her friend’s little brother posted Michelle in his [Instagram] Story and so I kinda just hit him up a couple times,” Leius said during an episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast this past January. “Like, ‘Hey man, when are you gonna introduce me to Michelle?’”
He was “really serious” about getting to know her, but Young wasn’t privy to what was going down behind-the-scenes.
“I was with said little brother and my friend, and we were just talking,” she said during the same podcast episode. “I said, ‘I have no idea how I’m supposed to meet my person in Minnesota. Like, [he] is definitely not in Minnesota at this point. I gotta start traveling more because they’re not on the apps!’”
The idea of Leius was brought up — and Young was intrigued.
“I think we spent the next four days together,” he recalled. “And we were dating by Sunday.”
