Bachelor Nation has made a splash in the NFL as Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert took part in a double date at a Kansas City Chiefs game on November 29, where the team narrowly defeated the Las Vegas Raiders with a score of 19-17. The couple was accompanied by former Bachelorette Michelle Young and her new boyfriend, Jack Leius.
In an Instagram post on December 2, Roper expressed her happiness, saying, “A Chiefs win, a heartwarming Hallmark Channel Holiday movie, and time spent with friends. It doesn’t get better than that!” Roper shared a selfie taken by Young, showcasing the two couples enjoying their time together. Tolbert also shared a snapshot of the foursome, which Young reposted on her Instagram Story.
Young has had a whirlwind romance with Leius, making their relationship Instagram official with a clever caption on October 27. “Hit the Jackpot with you,” she wrote, pairing it with stunning photos of the couple looking sharp. The following day, Roper and Tolbert attended the premiere of Hallmark’s “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story.”
Young’s new relationship comes after her split from ex-fiancé Nayte Olukoya in June 2022. The couple first met through mutual friends, and Young had initially been skeptical about finding love in Minnesota. However, she was charmed by Leius during their interactions. During an episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast, Leius recounted how he pursued an introduction to Young, stating, “I kinda just hit him up a couple times, like, ‘Hey man, when are you gonna introduce me to Michelle?’”
Their connection blossomed as both were navigating through tough breakups, and Young found herself intrigued by the possibility of dating Leius after they were introduced. “I think we spent the next four days together,” he recalled, describing their rapid transition from meeting to officially dating within a week.
This delightful double date marks a beautiful moment for two couples who have found joy in the midst of their journeys, celebrating friendship, football, and the festive season.
