Okay Bachelor Nation, let’s take a breather from all the onscreen drama, the dramatic exits, and the 15-second hot tub kisses. Let’s talk about someone who took a different path to love after the cameras stopped rolling: Caila Quinn. You might remember her as the sweet, soft-spoken girl with the perfect hair from The Bachelor Season 20 and Bachelor in Paradise.
But plot twist—Caila Quinn didn’t find her husband, her forever love in Mexico or on the steps of a mansion. She found it in real life, with Nick Burrello. And honestly? This might be the most refreshing love story to come out of Bachelor Nation.
Quick Recap: Who’s Caila Quinn Again?
Caila Quinn was a frontrunner on Ben Higgins’ season of The Bachelor back in 2016. She had the whole package—brains, beauty, a kind heart—but was heartbreakingly sent home right before the fantasy suites. (Rude, Ben.) Fans rallied for her to be the next Bachelorette, but the role ended up going to JoJo Fletcher. Caila took a detour to Bachelor in Paradise, had a brief thing with Jared Haibon (yes, before Ashley I. locked it down), and then… she vanished from the Bachelor spotlight.
Caila Quinn’s Husband Nick Burrello
Nick wasn’t part of any reality show. No limo entrance. No love triangles. No Instagram modeling phase. He’s a Harvard Business School grad who works in private equity, which basically means he’s a finance guy who could probably explain cryptocurrency without using the words “just trust me.” Classy, clean-cut, and completely okay staying out of the limelight.
So how did this unlikely couple meet?
Through a mutual friend in New York City. Caila was living there post-show, working in marketing and content creation, and somehow, the stars aligned. According to Caila, she “knew by the second date” that Nick was it. (Meanwhile, the rest of us are just trying to get a text back from Hinge.)
What’s sweet about Caila Quinn and her husband Nick’s relationship is that it’s drama-free. There were no public fights, no social media unfollowing, no “we’re taking time apart” posts. Just two people who genuinely liked each other and kept it private… until the ring came out.
Nick proposed to Caila in January 2020 during a romantic getaway to Sarasota, Florida. And the ring? A classic, oval-cut sparkler that could probably be seen from space. Caila shared the news with her fans, writing that she “couldn’t imagine life without him.” Cue the collective aww.
As per reports, Caila Quinn and her husband Nick got married on May 30, 2021, at The Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota—yes, the same place where he proposed. The wedding was full-on romantic: white florals, soft candlelight, string quartets. Basically, the Pinterest wedding board you secretly have but deny exists.
And while you might’ve expected the guest list to be a Bachelor Nation reunion special, it wasn’t. A few low-key alums made the cut, but it was mostly friends, family, and zero reality TV drama. Just love, laughter, and a choreographed first dance.
Since tying the knot, Caila and Nick have been in full “soft life” mode. They bought a house together, renovated it (of course she documented it all on Instagram), and travel frequently—think Europe in the summer and cozy cabin weekends in the winter.
In March 2023, they took their biggest adventure yet: parenthood. Their daughter, Teddi Quinn Burrello, arrived, and yes, she’s already cuter than all of us combined. Caila has been open about the transition to mom life, sharing sweet updates and real talk on postpartum, sleep schedules, and baby snuggles.
Nick, true to form, keeps a low profile. No thirst traps, no influencer ambitions. He’s just over there being the supportive husband and proud dad—and honestly? Kind of the dream.
Caila’s relationship with Nick feels like the real-world version of what The Bachelor tries to manufacture. There’s no pressure to perform, no fan theories, no emotional rollercoasters edited for TV. Just two people who clicked, fell in love, and built a quiet, beautiful life.
She once said, “Nick sees me in a way no one else does.” And isn’t that what we’re all really looking for?
Caila Quinn didn’t end up with a Bachelor, but she scored something even better—a husband who’s smart, grounded, and doesn’t mind taking a few pics for the ’gram. Nick Burrello might not have handed out roses, but he showed up with something way more meaningful: consistency, privacy, and real-deal commitment.
