With the first season of Bravo's The Valley drawing to a close, many viewers are still getting to know the friends of the series, Zack Wickham and Jasmine Goode. Some fans who are also members of Bachelor Nation may recognize Jasmine from her prior seasons on The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise. Jasmine was one of the contestants who caused the drama here and there on the show, but on The Valley, she is one of the few people who see what's really going on. So, who is Jasmine Goode dating?
Jasmine got to accompany the rest of the group sans Zack and Kristen Doute on Janet Caperna's baby moon. Zack was hurt enough by the exclusion to make a petty social media post out of spite while they were on the trip. Jasmine tried her best to advocate for Zack after seeing how hurt he was but to no avail. This, however, didn't stop her from attending the couples-only trip. While viewers haven't seen much of Jasmine's girlfriend yet, they will hopefully soon.
Who is Jasmine Goode's girlfriend, Melissa Marie?
Fans of The Bachelor might be surprised to learn that Jasmine has been in a relationship with Melissa for the past three years. Both women hail from Maplewood, N.J., where Melissa graduated high school in the same class as Jasmine's brother. Jasmine said that when Melissa moved to Los Angeles, it felt like having a piece of home with her. While Melissa hasn't been featured much this season, she'll hopefully be more involved in Season 2.
Jasmine and Melissa both understand the world of reality TV.
While Jasmine may come from a reality TV dating show, she isn't the only one in the relationship who has been on a competition series. Melissa was recently a contestant on Netflix's Squid Game: The Challenge, based on the Korean hit drama Squid Game. Melissa played as player 361 and lasted a fair amount of time before being eliminated alongside 32 other players in the game. In her Squid Game bio that she was most excited to play "Glass Bridge," but unfortunately, she never made it that far.
What does Jasmine's girlfriend Melissa Marie do for a living?
Melissa may not have won Squid Game: The Challenge's prize of $4.56 million, but she does have a lucrative career on her own. According to her Squid Game: The Challenge bio, "Melissa works in strategic programs and operations," and is a manager at her place of work. Her bio discusses her love of travel, something that is pretty clear thanks to her social media accounts.
Will Melissa Marie be seen more on 'The Valley'?
Melissa has appeared once or twice briefly during the current season of The Valley, but she hasn't had much screen time yet. However, viewers might see more of her now that the series has been renewed for a second season. Viewers want to see more of Jasmine's life alongside her relationship with Melissa.
