Cassie Randolph moved on from Colton Underwood and has a new boyfriend. Here’s everything to know about her new beau, musician Brighton Reinhardt.<\/b>
\nCelebrity Cassie and the musician have been dating since 2020. A lot of eyes are on Cassie Randolph these days. Ever since her ex-boyfriend Colton Underwood came out as gay on national TV in April, many expected her to open up about her Bachelor -made relationship \u2014 especially recently with his new Netflix series Coming Out Colton premiering on Dec.3. Now, she is ready to talk about her love life \u2014 just not the one with Colton. Though she just admitted to People that she purposefully kept her relationship private in the beginning, rumors that Cassie and her boyfriend, musician Brighton Reinhardt, were dating started as early as August 2020. After the two were spotted hanging out with Cassie\u2019s family, Brighton denied the rumors to US Weekly on Aug.27,2020, saying, \u201cCassie and I are just friends and have been for over four or so years.\u201d He added, \u201cMy brothers and I are all close with Cassie and her whole family,\u201d in response to the gossip. Buzz started back up in January 2021, when Brighton released the song \u201cCreep\u201d that fans felt eerily pointed at Colton. The lyrics \u2014 especially the lines \u201cYou can\u2019t stop thinking about my baby\u201d and \u201cGPS on the underside\u201d \u2014 seem to refer to Cassie\u2019s now-retracted temporary restraining order in which she alleged Colton stalked, tracked, and harassed her. Still, the two didn\u2019t admit anything publicly and seemed to be mostly friendly online, harmlessly commenting on each other\u2019s Instagram posts. In February, when Cassie promoted her house-hunting YouTube video, Brighton commented, \u201cI love all these reels and vlogs!! Keep up the good work.\u201d (What\u2019s more platonic than \u201ckeep up the good work\u201d?) On her birthday two months later, she posted, \u201cThank you to everyone who made my 26th so special. To say I have the best people surrounding me is an understatement. I love you all so much.\u201d Brighton then replied, \u201cBest night!!! We all love you sm, Happy birthday.\u201d Finally, a month later, Brighton filmed the music video for his song \u201cDreaming\u201d with Cassie, who plays his love interest. The two only shared photos from the shoot up \u2014 until Jul.29, when Brighton took the plunge and made their relationship Instagram official with a simple \u201cinsert cheesy caption here*\u201d post. But the were-they-weren\u2019t-they saga continued when Brighton posted a sweet slideshow on Aug.11, with the caption \u201c366 days and counting\u201d and a heart emoji. So, if Brighton\u2019s Instagram marking of time pertains to their anniversary, that might mean they were already together when he first publicly denied the rumors. Cassie admitted as much in an interview with People on Dec.2. \u201cLast year, we reconnected, and it was game over from there,\u00a0\u00bb she told the outlet. Calling him her \u201cbest friend,\u201d she added, \u201cI love everything about him. But I love the fact that we were friends for like six, five years, I think, before we started dating. I think that really helped make us really strong.\u201d She also revealed that it was \u201cimportant\u201d for her and Brighton \u201cto keep quiet\u201d about their relationship \u201cat first,\u201d as they\u2019re both \u201cpretty private people in general.\u201d That explains things.<\/p>\n
