Taylor Frankie Paul\u2019s Bachelorette <\/em>season may be on ice<\/a> \u2014 but that doesn\u2019t mean her suitors are staying out of the reality spotlight. In fact, one of them recently shared a flirty message for Taylor\u2019s Secret Lives of Mormon Wives <\/em>co-star, Jessi Draper.<\/p>\n

A Rosy Crossover?<\/h2>\n

On March 31, 28-year-old suitor Brandon Perce posted a video<\/a> addressed to \u201cJessi from Single Lives of Mormon Wives<\/em>,\u201d referencing her newly ready-to-mingle status amidst her divorce<\/a> from Jordan Ngatikaura.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a friend who is interested,\u201d he begins \u2014 before going on to describe, well, himself. \u201cHe\u2019s a dad, he\u2019s got tattoos, likes to work out. He has a job, doesn\u2019t like to golf, and he\u2019s got history with one of your friends.\u201d (Some more specifics from Brandon\u2019s Bachelorette <\/em>bio: He\u2019s a Chicago Bears-loving loan officer whose idea of a perfect date entails \u201ca sunset hike, followed by pizza and cuddles on the couch.\u201d)<\/p>\n

Brandon concluded his video with a plea to his followers to \u201cdo what you do\u201d and tag Jessi, adding: \u201cLet\u2019s make it happen.\u201d Indeed, the message got to Jessi pretty quickly \u2014 and she simply commented, \u201cHi.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jessi\u2019s Single Era<\/h2>\n

Sure, one teeny exchange does not make a relationship. But after Jessi made headlines<\/a> for reportedly kissing Chase McWhorter \u2014 her co-star Miranda McWhorter\u2019s ex \u2014 flirting with someone outside the world of #MomTok and its adjacents could be a less dramatic path<\/a> into the dating pool.<\/p>\n

Granted, after five years of marriage, Jessi has said she\u2019s keen to take her time with potential connections. \u201cI want to date. I want to not be tied down,\u201d she recently told Alex Cooper on Call Her Daddy<\/em><\/a>. \u201cI have my freedom back, so I don\u2019t want to jump into anything.\u201d But regardless of Jessi\u2019s prospects with this specific suitor, a Bachelorette <\/em>contestant shooting his shot with a Mormon Wives <\/em>star might serve as a sign that Taylor\u2019s contenders plan to stick around \u2014 even if viewers didn\u2019t (and may never) meet them in the traditional way.<\/p>\n

In fact, the Bachelor Happy Hour <\/em>podcast has been interviewing<\/a> Taylor\u2019s men, which several fans have theorized<\/a> might be the franchise\u2019s way of acquainting them with viewers ahead of their potential appearance on Bachelor in Paradise<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Whether it airs or not, it\u2019s clear that Taylor\u2019s Bachelorette <\/em>experiment has already shaken up the reality landscape \u2014 catalyzing even more crossovers between singles and storylines from show to show.<\/p>\n
