Bachelor in Paradise Alum Danielle Maltby Posts Cryptic Messages Amid Rumors of Split with Michael Allio

Bachelor in Paradise alum Danielle Maltby has recently been posting cryptic messages on social media, sparking ongoing speculation that she and fellow alum Michael Allio have ended their relationship. While neither star has publicly confirmed the split, Maltby’s Instagram Story on Sunday, September 17th hinted at a potential breakup.

Mystical Messages and Rainbow Signs

Maltby shared a photo on her Instagram Story featuring country singer Brandi Carlile, who was singing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” during her show in Cleveland. Alongside the photo, Maltby wrote, “Rainbows have been my sign lately that everything will be OK. To keep looking up and finding the light around you.” She further added, “They’ve come in different forms, a couple of double rainbows in the sky, some being sent by friends after we’re done talking about them. … Dreams will come true.”

These mysterious messages have intrigued fans, especially as Maltby had recently removed all her photos with Allio from her Instagram account. The speculation surrounding their rumored split has intensified, leaving fans wondering about the current status of their relationship.

A Distraction from the Breakup Buzz

In an attempt to divert attention from the breakup rumors, Maltby shared some lighthearted outtakes from a beach photoshoot on her Instagram account. She captioned the post with a playful comment, “Behind every curated photo is a weird gal falling in the water despite her super cool water sandals.” This humorous post aimed to shift the focus away from her apparent breakup and bring a smile to her followers’ faces.

Allio, on the other hand, chose to remain enigmatic when addressing the split speculation. During a podcast appearance, he mentioned that being in a public relationship was challenging and emphasized the importance of privacy. He also stated that he and Maltby loved each other very much but preferred to keep their relationship away from public scrutiny.

A Bond Over Shared Tragedies

During their time on Bachelor in Paradise, Maltby and Allio bonded over the shared experience of losing significant others in the past. Maltby’s fiancé passed away in 2011 due to a drug overdose, while Allio’s wife lost her battle with breast cancer in 2019. The two found solace and understanding in each other’s stories.

Although they didn’t get engaged on the show, Maltby and Allio continued nurturing their relationship outside the beach. In November 2022, Maltby disclosed her plans to move to Ohio to be closer to Allio and his son, James. The couple believed that living in close proximity was necessary for their relationship to thrive.

The Future Uncertain, But Ohio Remains Home

Despite the rumors of a split, it seems that Maltby intends to stay in Ohio for the time being. In a recent Instagram post, she expressed her fondness for the city and its vibrant arts scene. Attending a local science fair, she remarked how it made her feel at home. This suggests that Maltby is settling into Ohio and exploring the creative community, even amidst relationship uncertainties.

As the speculation surrounding their relationship continues, fans eagerly await any official confirmation or further details from Maltby or Allio. Until then, the cryptic messages and social media posts provide glimpses into their lives, leaving room for interpretation and ongoing discussions among fans.
