Bachelor Nation's Serene Russell and Brendan Morais have come a long way since their surprise first meeting. One year after connecting at Us Weekly's Reality Stars of the Year party in Los Angeles, the Bachelor in Paradise alums appear stronger than ever as they experience long-distance love. "Pretty much since we have been officially together, we've seen each other multiple times a month," Serene, 30, exclusively shared with Us Weekly while enjoying a couple's trip to Hammock Cove Resort & Spa in Antigua.
