BiP’s Krystal Nielson, Miles Bowles’ Relationship Timeline

Krystal Nielson and husband Miles Bowles‘ love story has seen them through some difficult times, including scary labor and delivery complications.

The Bachelor in Paradise alum was set up with the photographer in May 2020, three months after she announced her split from husband Chris Randone.

Nielson explained on a November 2020 episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast that a pal pushed them together one year after Nielson met Bowles’ mom on a retreat. “She just kind of really encouraged it for weeks. Then when we met, I just knew why she was so certain of us being a great match for each other,” Nielson recalled.

The couple kept their relationship quiet until October 2020, when Nielson posted a photo with her new man on Instagram.

“We have been keeping our relationship private for several months so that we could really focus on building a solid foundation and getting to know each other outside of what you see in the media,” Nielson exclusively told Us Weekly two days after the hard launch.

Nielson announced she was pregnant with her and Bowles’ first child one month later. They welcomed daughter Andara in March 2021. They went on to say “I do” in August 2023, with Andara serving as the flower girl.

In May 2025, the pair announced they were expecting their second child. Six months later, Bowles announced the birth of their second baby, son Rowan, via Instagram, revealing that Nielson was “safe” after experiencing “unexpected” labor and delivery “complications.”
