We have been smitten with Bachelor Nation’s quirkiest couple — Carly Waddell and Evan Bass — ever since they didn’t, then did, feel sparks on Bachelor in Paradise. The hilarious fan favorites met in 2016, got hitched in 2017 and welcomed baby Isabella ‘Bella’ Evelyn in 2018. (Whew, nice hat trick, Chris Harrison! You got
