Who Is Kat Izzo’s Ex Boyfriend On ‘Bachelor in Paradise’? Meet Zac Copper

The night Bachelor in Paradise fans have been anxiously/eagerly awaiting for weeks has finally arrived. It’s Season 10 finale night, and before we learn which of the final four couples wins money, love, and potentially both, we’ll inevitably have to watch some emotional farewells and the return of previously eliminated couples. Dun dun dunnnnn…

While we’ll have to wait until Bachelor in Paradise Season 10, Episode 10 wraps at 10:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 2 and tune in to the Bachelor in Paradise reunion to see how everything plays out, the Bachelor franchise’s favorite spoiler, Reality Steve, predicted some serious finale drama ahead.

We’re not here to spoil who potentially wins Paradise Season 10, but in a spoiler-heavy Instagram post shared on August 15, Reality Steve claimed that “In the finale, Sean confronts Kat and accuses her of coming on the show with a boyfriend, using the show for clout, and alleging that she contacted [her boyfriend] somehow during filming.”

Whether or not the drama-loving Parliament of Paradise politician’s claims hold truth to them or not, if allegations about a boyfriend are made in the finale, you know members of Bachelor Nation will undoubtedly be wondering, “Who is Kat’s ex boyfriend?”

So ahead of Bachelor in Paradise‘s Season 10 finale, we took a look at Kat’s dating history to see who she dated in between her breakup with fiancé John Henry Spurlock and her time in Paradise.

Who Is Kat Izzo’s Ex Fiancé On Bachelor in Paradise? Meet John Henry Spurlock

First things first: Yes, prior to Bachelor in Paradise Season 10, Kat Izzo was engaged to Bachelorette alum John Henry Spurlock. So was John Henry the man Sean confronted Kat about in the Season 10 finale?

The two memorably fell in love on Bachelor in Paradise Season 9, then announced their breakup on Instagram on December 11, 2023 following the Paradise Season 9 finale. The two claimed they called it quits because of several challenges, with Izzo saying on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast in July 2025, “There was nothing serious that happened. Through the airing of the show, we started to learn more about how we each handle conflict and adversity. It was not my choice, but it ended ultimately being something probably for the best… It was under the umbrella of incompatibility. But we didn’t have any major fights or anything like that. I think it just got too much. He wanted to do go into a different career path than we both originally thought he wanted to do, which ultimately led him to Hawaii.”

While John Henry is likely Kat’s most well-known, franchise-related ex, considering she dated another man after their split and ahead of Bachelor in Paradise Season 10, he likely isn’t the man referenced in the finale…

After Kat and John Henry’s engagement ended, the Bachelor in Paradise star dated another man named Zac Copper ahead of the show. Per Reality TV World, the two went Instagram official on July 16, 2024 and reportedly split in January 2025 ahead of Paradise.

You can learn more about Kat’s ex boyfriend on Instagram at @zaccopper, where he has 4,003 followers ahead of the finale, including Bachelor Nation alum like Charity Lawson, Dotun Olubeko, and Jess Edwards. Per Linkedin, Zac’s full name is Zachary Copper and he currently works as a management consultant.

While Copper likely wasn’t anticipating a potential storyline on Bachelor in Paradise Season 10, he still has photos with Kat on his Instagram feed, so at least he left Bachelor Nation some proof of relationship. Ultimately, we’ll have to wait for the Bachelor in Paradise reunion to hear more about the boyfriend-on-Paradise allegations against Kat and specifics about the timeline of her and Copper’s relationship, so stay tuned.

Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 is now streaming on Hulu.
