Jarrod found love with former Bachelor hopeful Sam, earlier this year.
Before finding 'forever' with his new love, Jarrod was in a relationship with Keira Maguire.
They began a dating after meeting on season one of Bachelor In Paradise back in 2018.
During a rough patch in the relationship, he blamed Keira's obsession with Instagram as a big factor that led to their breakup.
The couple reunited in January 2019 before splitting up for good in August of that year.
