Bachelor In Paradise’s Grant Kemp claims new Bachelorette Ali Oetjen cheated on him

BACHELOR In Paradise’s Grant Kemp has made a shocking claim about the reason his relationship with new Bachelorette Ali Oetjen ended.

THE split between Bachelor In Paradise’s Grant Kemp and Ali Oetjen has officially turned ugly, with Kemp sensationally claiming she “cheated” on him with his best friend.

In an interview with New Idea, US reality star Kemp said the couple had parted ways acrimoniously in Los Angeles after he caught Oetjen — who is this year’s Bachelorette — in bed with another man.

Kemp claimed the incident occurred in March, just days after Oetjen had moved to LA to be with him.

“The third or fourth day she got here, we went out and this night — when all this stuff happened — I had people over after going out to a club,” Kemp said.

“I live in a gated community so I have to go down and let people in sometimes.

“So, I leave my house with my friend Sabrina, to go and grab my friends and bring them back upstairs, and when we walk back inside, we come up the stairs and she is hooking up with this dude.”

Kemp said he kicked reality TV veteran Oetjen out of his house immediately, with New Idea claiming there are text messages which show the blonde “begged” him for forgiveness afterwards.

Last week during multiple media interviews, Oetjen refused to give details on why she and Kemp parted ways.

Appearing defensive at times, she told Fifi, Fev & Byron on 101.9 Fox FM that the “distance was too hard”.

“Uh ... there are lots of rumours around the show and ... yeah, Grant and I are keeping some things private,” Oetjen said when asked if some of Kemp’s behaviour had been fake.

“I want to respect us because we had a really meaningful relationship, and it just didn’t work out.”

During their time on Bachelor In Paradise, Kemp and Oetjen were the first couple to say “I love you” to each other.

But Oetjen was visibly upset during the final episode when Kemp presented her with a commitment ring rather than an engagement sparkler.
