Alana Milne faced criticism after her on-screen love triangle with Chris Conran and Jessenia Cruz. Learn more about the Bachelor in Paradise villain.

Alana Milne caused quite a stir among the cast during her short-lived appearance on Bachelor in Paradise, but what do fans really know about the season 7 villain? Viewers saw Alana caught in a love triangle with Chris Conran and Jessenia Cruz, which ultimately led the cast to pressure both Alana and Chris into leaving the beach. From her love of photography to donating to social causes, there is so much more to learn about Alana than meets the eye.

Alana first appeared on Matt James’ season of The Bachelor. While she made it past the first rose ceremony, she was sent home during week 2 after not building a connection with Matt. Viewers did not see Alana again until the new season of Bachelor in Paradise, when she made her debut on the September 7 episode. Alana was invited to host Tituss Burgess’ VIP party, where she immediately pursued Chris and kissed him on the dance floor in front of Jessenia. This made Jessenia highly upset, as she was already coupled up with Chris before Alana’s arrival. When Alana and Chris joined the rest of the cast on the beach, they were met with animosity for hurting Jessenia, causing both of them to leave Mexico.

Apart from her love triangle and her short time on The Bachelor, there is a lot to learn about Alana. According to Alana’s Bachelor biography, she is 26 and from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. After graduating high school, she decided to move to Europe and enrolled in different programs while living there. Alana calls traveling to Europe “her greatest accomplishment yet because it took her on a journey of self-discovery and exploration that really shaped her into the independent woman she is today." She also loves going to wineries, painting, and cooking.

The Bachelor in Paradise contestant is also close to her family; she loves spending the holidays with her mom and making fettuccine from scratch. Her biography also lists her dream job as a restaurant critic for Michelin star restaurants. According to Milne Studio's website, Alana is currently a Project Manager and Headshot Photographer at the company and has worked there since 2017. Although Alana’s time on The Bachelor was short-lived, she is still friends with some of the women from Matt’s season. From her Instagram, Alana has a close friendship with Marylynn Sienna, captioning one photo of the two women together, “It’s the friendship for me." Alana is also into charity, as her Instagram links to social issues and causes such as anti-bullying donations, domestic violence helplines, and food banks.

Concerning Alana’s relationship with Chris, the season 7 villain denies having a pre-show relationship with him. While their relationship status is not yet defined, Alana admitted the two have been going on dates after leaving Paradise. Alana also appears to be living her best life traveling and hanging out with her friends. Maybe she’ll have a redemption arc next season on Bachelor in Paradise.
