The season finale of Bachelor in Paradise just aired and the winners have been revealed!
Things were a bit different for season 10 as the producers decided to add a cash prize as an element for the competition series. The winning couple had the chance to earn up to $500,000 as a cash prize.
The only other time the Bachelor Nation franchise offered a cash prize was on the spinoff series Bachelor Pad, which ran for three seasons from 2010 to 2012.
Spoilers were revealed ahead of time by Reality Steve, but now the official results are in.
So, how did it all work out?

The final three couples – Dale and Kat, Alexe and Andrew, and Jess and Spencer – competed in a strength competition to reach the final stage of the show.
Alexe and Andrew won, so the other two couples had to plead their case to the eliminated contestants to decide who should advance. Jess and Spencer were selected to advance.
There was one final test: Each person had to decide if they’d rather leave the island with love or money. If both members of a couple picked love, they’d get the chance to leave with money and love. If one picked love, but the other picked money, that one person would get the money. If both picked money, they’d leave with nothing.
All four contestants picked love!
Each couple was given the chance to select one of three envelopes, which all had a difference cash amount inside.
Andrew and Alexe – SECOND PLACE COUPLE
Andrew and Alexe selected the envelope with $125,000 inside. They left with the money and decided to be boyfriend and girlfriend.
Spencer and Jess – WINNERS & ENGAGED
Spencer and Jess selected an envelope with $190,000 inside and they also got engaged!
Spencer said in his proposal, “Coming into Paradise, as you know, it’s been years since I loved someone and I really was starting to lose hope that that was in the cards for me — that was until the moment that I met you. Every room that you walk into is instantly brighter. You don’t know a stranger. You’re welcoming to everyone. And you always lead with honesty and what’s right, even when it’s something that’s not easy to do. I am so in love with you and you let me know the same. Jessica Taylor Edwards, would you make me the happiest man on the face of the planet and would you marry me?”
