Lidja Kesenci (30) is on cloud nine. A few weeks ago, the woman from Aargau was looking for great love on TV on “Bachelor in Paradise”. In the RTL show things got hot in the shower, but nothing serious came of it. She met her new boyfriend outside of the reality TV industry. The “Bachelor” finalist from 2021 has been officially with Alessio (26), a car salesman from Bern, since December.
They met on the Tiktok video platform at the end of June when Kesenci was going through a difficult time. First she abandoned a friend for whom she had given notice of her job and apartment so that they could travel together. And shortly after, she was in a car accident. When she met Alessio, Lidja Kesenci temporarily moved back in with her parents in Ems GR. During this time he was a great support. “He scratched me off the floor,” she says Blick.
Bumpy start due to intimate shower scene
Because of “Bachelor in Paradise”, the start of the relationship was “a bit bumpy”. The woman from Aargau had already signed the contract for the RTL show before they met. “He still wanted me,” says Kesenci. The office clerk then flew to Málaga (Spain) for the shooting at the end of July. “I’ve decided to keep my feet still and not overdo it,” she says.
How «Bachelor in Paradise» works
Anyone who has not yet found true love in “Bachelor” or “Bachelorette” gets a new chance. At “Bachelor in Paradise” former participants are looking for their dream partner again. The candidates are thrown together from different squadrons and get to know each other. Roses are also distributed in this dating show. While it’s the women’s turn one week, the men have the roses in their hands the following week. And the rule also applies: if you don’t get a rose, you’re kicked out.
In the final, however, the cut flowers are exchanged for a ring and money. The candidates have to make a decision: give their TV flirt a ring and leave the show together, or decide for 10,000 euros and stay single.

But things turned out differently. With candidate Max Adrio (33) she ended up in the love suite. The two kissed under the covers before disappearing into the shower together. There were no cameras in the bathroom itself, but the sounds were clear. Whether it came to sex, Kesenci no longer knows. “Me and alcohol are a bad combination,” explains the Aargau woman her behavior. In addition, there are certain expectations in such programs.
The first few days after that were difficult. Alessio has decided not to watch the show, but he saw some excerpts on social media. “I was very disappointed and needed time to process it,” says the car salesman. It hurt him. But he still stands above it and stood by Kesenci. Now he’s getting the hang of it. Alessio emphasizes: “I’ve arrived at Lidja.”
Lidja Kesenci’s boyfriend is on Onlyfans
Her extra income with Onlyfans doesn’t bother him either. “I met her with Onlyfans,” explains Alessio. That’s why he thinks it’s wrong if she’s no longer allowed to use the bloody side because of her relationship. “She explained to me what she reveals there and what not.” He has no problems with what is shown. “I’m even participating. I told her from the start that if she wanted to take pictures with me, we’d take them together,” says Berner. So far, Kesenci has refrained from showing him: “I’ve really made sure that you don’t see his face and tattoos.” She leaves it open what the couple will be able to see on the platform in the future.
Together they have already dared to take the next step. “We found an apartment two weeks ago,” she says. They are currently in the process of setting up their new home in Aargau.
