Ivan got called out by Wells Adams right before the Sept. 28 rose ceremony—and quickly spilled his guts to the BiP bartender. Ivan told Wells that he was “hoping to meet” Alexa all season long, so he snuck a peek at a producer’s phone and saw what room number she was in. “I saw Alexa’s name, I got super excited about that, and made a quick impulse decision,” Ivan explained. Ivan continued to explain that after he made his way to Alexa’s room, “We were up there, just talking on her balcony, and we just hit it off. like normal times… It was wrong of me. I shouldn’t have gone around the system. I was wrong. Love makes you do weird, crazy things. I’ve made a mistake and it was a giant mistake.” Ivan later apologized to the cast, saying that he “spent a few hours” with Alexa the night before. “At the end of the day, I’m sorry,” he said. “I wanted to see if there was a connection there. … I’m sorry I let you down.” The rest of the cast seemed stunned, pissed off and confused about who, exactly, Alexa is. While recapping the whole thing for the cameras, contestant JamesBonsall said Ivan met “a girl named Alexa who hasn’t even arrived yet.” (Ivan referred to her a couple times as having previously competed on Peter Weber’s season of The Bachelor, but that was about it.) As for Alexa, she’s already in on the joke! As all the drama was unfolding on BiP’s Sept. 28 episode, she reposted a meme on her Instagram Stories that simply says, “Hey Alexa, show me who Alexa from Peter’s season is.” But are you, like rest of the Bachelor in Paradise Season 7 cast, wondering who Alexa Caves is, too?
