Former Bachelor Nation members Ashley Iaconetti and Ben Higgins also weighed in on the possible couple.

“It’s one of those weird borderline things. It could definitely be friendship and it could definitely be them together,” Iaconetti, 35, stated on the Wednesday, December 27, episode of their “Almost Famous” podcast. “It’s not happening, that’s my thought.”

Higgins, 34, said he “only” has one comment on the two “very attractive people.” He said that “something could be sparked” because they’re both good looking, explaining that he doesn’t know a lot of adult men with platonic female friends.

“Maybe Bachelor Nation’s different,” he added. “Or maybe, I’m wrong.”

Courtad and Lewis both headed to the beach for Bachelor in Paradise season 9, which aired its season finale earlier this month. The duo didn’t find a romantic connection together on the beach, both leaving the show single. (Courtad is from Charity Lawson’s Bachelorette season while Lewis made her debut during Zach ShallcrossBachelor season.)

Lewis had some pretty complicated romances during BiP, as she was in a love triangle with Kat Izzo and John Henry Spurlock for a few episodes. While Spurlock, 31, ended up picking Izzo, 27, whom he got engaged to before their post-season split, Lewis moved on with Michael Barbour. However, Barbour, 28, ultimately broke things off.

Courtad also didn’t have much love in the luck department. While he hit things off with Izzo, Rachel Recchia and Jess Girod, he didn’t find a long-lasting love with any of them.
