Keeping it real.
Bachelor Nation fans got to know and love Faith Martin and Kim Buike on the first seasons of “The Golden Bachelor” and “The Golden Bachelorette,” respectively.
The two continued their search for love on Season 10 of “Bachelor in Paradise,” where they ended up leaving the beach together as a couple.
A month ago, they hard launched their relationship online as Faith shared a video of Kim giving her a kiss on the cheek while meeting her family and friends in her hometown in Washington.
Now, Faith has taken to social media to give another update on her relationship status with Kim.

Alongside a video she posted, Faith wrote, “The REAL TRUTH about Kim & Faith!!! Since we left the show there were FAKE Fan page stories about us that were completely fabricated and untrue. Neither of us have ever done interviews or given quotes. It’s time we set the record straight! He lives 5 plus hours away or we would have made a video together!!”
In the video, the Golden Bachelor Nation star goes on to share that she and Kim are no longer a couple, saying, “I just got off the phone with Kim not too long ago and I think it’s safe to say that we are allowed to say what’s going on with us, right? So, we talk sometimes two to three times a week. He lives 5.5 hours away, but the point is this: We are not an in-love couple. Nope, we’re not. We never fell in love. We had a great connection on the show.”
Faith continued, revealing that their connection on “BIP” was genuine and she appreciates the time they shared.

“We had our time,” she went on, “You know, we kind of got matched together because of the situation and I really appreciate that he gave me a rose and I appreciate the fact that we had a little bit of time to explore our connection, which was definitely genuine. We had a great time and we really care about each other. But are we each other’s person? I think he and I both agree, no.”
Faith finished with an update on where she and Kim currently stand with each other.
“Neither of us are heartbroken. We are rooting for each other’s happiness and finding our own person if that time ever comes. I’m actually fairly content just the way I am,” she admitted, “Point being, thank you all for caring, we love you. It’s super sweet that you all cared enough to write us and cheer us on and all that. We had a great time on “Bachelor in Paradise” and just know he is a great guy and he is available. So, you ladies, hit him up, okay?… He's a really wonderful man and I care about him a lot, I just don’t feel like he’s my forever person. Nothing wrong with that. And that is the deal with us.”
We are so happy that Faith and Kim remain such great friends, and we know they will find their forever person.
