Bachelor fans everywhere hoped for a romance between Bibi Anna Julian and Peter Krause, but it never seemed to work out. However, there's some good news to celebrate when it comes to her love life: Bibiana is dating someone new. On January 21, the Bachelor alum posted a photo of herself kissing a mystery man on Instagram, captioning it, "Dream Catcher."
She tagged no one in the photo. However, an article in People magazine noted that Bibiana was posing with a man who did look a lot like the man in the beach trip photos from early January. Bibiana also shared a photo with what appears to be the same person in December. Also, the title is very similar, it says "Dreamland".
Bibiana did tag an account in these photos, but it was a private account. The only indication of the person's identity is the presence of a link to the sunglasses brand Tejesta in the profile. So, what connection might he have to this company? The brand's website does say it's headquartered in Miami, Florida -- which is where Bibiana lives, so that makes sense. Still, her dating situation remains a bit of a mystery.
As of now, Bibiana has not commented on the relationship apart from the photos she has shared. She did, however, receive a lot of support from Bachelor alumni. Kendall Long, Vanessa Grimaldi, Annaliese Puccini, Marikh Mathias, Lily McMahon Many Bachelor Nation members, including Lily McManus, Chris Randone and Angela Amezcua, all agreed with Bibiana's social media post.
While Bibiana has yet to reveal any details about the mystery man, she posted about joining the Match dating app in December 2018. Maybe she connected with her new boyfriend through the app? Now that would be quite the recognition.
Before launching her own Match membership, Bibiana and Peter were spotted attending a Miami Heat game together in December 2018. In a video of Hassan Whiteside being ejected from the stadium, a super observant Bachelor fan noticed they were sitting next to each other.
A few weeks later, Bibiana responded to Peter's rumors. In a conversation with Ashley Iaconetti and Ben Higgins on Ben and Ashley's Almost Famous Podcast , Bibiana denied being in a relationship with Peter . "Nothing happened between Peter Krause and me. Absolutely nothing happened," she declared.
In the same interview, Bibiana revealed that she has a special someone in her life. She told her Bachelor alum, "I don't want to jinx it, but this guy is too good to be true." She even said the man is "everything I want in a guy."
Of course, she emphasized, "No one knows him and he's not Peter Kraus." Although she didn't mention him by name, Bibiana explained her mindset on the date. She told Ben and Ashley I, "I believe in projecting the kind of person you want and acting a certain way just to attract that person in your life."
"I think I might have found the one, but I guess I'm going to tread lightly," she said. Well, a month later they went Instagram official and stopped tagging and mentioning him in photos on the PDA name.
