Bachelor's Cass Wood 'is dating the Honey Badger's brother'

She didn’t find love with the Honey Badger, but Cass Wood may have come close if the latest talk surrounding her relationship status is to be believed.

It’s been reported that the 24-year-old, who placed fourth on the Bachelor this year, is now dating Nick Cummins’ brother, Jacob.

“It started off as a friendship and things could well have blossomed,” a source told Woman’s Day, explaining the pair bonded after Cass’ heartbreak when Nick sent her home following the home visits.

Apparently Nick already knows and approves of the romance, but Cass and Jacob would like to take their time in officially going public.

“They’re waiting for all the show’s hype to die down before they make any announcement on the status of their relationship, but Nick couldn’t be happier for them,” the source revealed.

The public got a glimpse of Cass and Jacob’s dynamic on The Bachelor during an episode featuring Nick’s family.

The pair immediately bonded very well as Cass had met Jacob before.

“I met Cass about a year ago. She was up for the summer, up at the Gold Coast and we went surfing with Nick and we had a few yarns, few beers,” Jacob said during the episode.

Bachelor fans will remember Cass and Nick went on a couple of dates before reuniting on the reality show.
