Who Is Alex Bordyukov on 'Bachelor in Paradise'? Age, Job and Nationality

Alex Bordyukov has joined the cast of Bachelor in Paradise Season 8.

The ABC reality show features contestants who have appeared on various seasons of dating shows The Bachelor and The Bachelorette returning to the franchise to try and find love once again.

Past contestants like Michael Allio and Danielle Maltby have already been seen getting to know each other in the show's tropical paradise location and one of the latest additions is Bordyukov, who fans may recognize from Rachel Lindsay's season of The Bachelorette in 2017.

Bordyukov arrived on the island along with Tyler Norris, Rick Leach, Olu Onajide, and Adam Todd, and, in a first for Bachelor in Paradise, the new boys were able get to know the women of the show in a location separate from the original boys back on the beach.

This has seriously shaken things up and thrown strong connections into question, mainly Victoria Fuller and Johnny DePhillipo.

Fuller has formed a relationship with DePhillipo but, after meeting Bordyukov, it appears like she may be having second thoughts.

"I'm excited about you, I feel like we're able to connect in a way that is very different from most people," she told Bordyukov during a dinner date.

Will Bordyukov's arrival spell the end for Fuller and DePhillipo? Fans will need to tune in to find out.
