Hannah Brown may not have gotten her fairytale ending on The Bachelorette, but she gave off serious bridal vibes in a white gown at the Country Music Awards as she walked arm-in-arm with her Dancing With the Stars partner Alan Bersten. Despite ongoing rumors, Brown claims Bersten is just a friend.
Brown, 25, ended her engagement to The Bachelorette finalist Jed Wyatt during the show’s finale in July once it was revealed Wyatt that had a girlfriend at home during filming. The former Miss Alabama USA then became a fan favorite on Dancing with the Stars where she immediately sparked dating rumors with her partner Alan Bersten after fans called out their natural chemistry. The pair quashed dating rumors back in September, but have continued to flirt playfully on social media, and they certainly looked picture-perfect as they posed for the cameras at the CMAs.
According to Us Magazine, Team Alabama Hannah were laughing and posing with their arms around each other on the red carpet. Brown donned a white mock neck gown with a classic hair and makeup look that practically screamed bride, accompanied by Bersten in a black suit and patterned shirt. While neither Brown nor Bersten dabble in country music, Brown presented Old Dominion with the Vocal Group of the Year Award during the show.

Brown remains single after she famously asked runner-up Tyler Cameron out for a drink on The Bachelorette finale, and though the two were caught on camera seemingly on a date, the sparks seemed to have fizzed out when Cameron pursued a relationship with supermodel Gigi Hadid. But Brown seems to be doing just fine, perhaps better, as she partners with 25 year old dance pro Alan Bersten. Though the two haven’t confirmed any romantic interests, they haven’t denied them either. While the dance partners require some fabricated chemistry to be successful on Dancing with the Stars, their playful flirtation seems too authentic to be constructed. Bersten has even been helping Brown overcome some of her insecurities on stage, calling her a “beautiful, hardworking person.”
Brown, who says she’s “done with roses,” would naturally be hesitant to get back into a public relationship after everything that’s happened this year with Wyatt… and Cameron… and Colton Underwood… but fans are truly rooting for her love story. The 25 year old PCA Competition Contestant winner has been a role model for women waiting to find their perfect, fairytale ending, and not settling for less than they deserve. There is a possibility Bersten is the ballroom dancer Brown has been waiting for, and he’s dated his dance partner before. In season 27 of Dancing with the Stars, Bersten became romantically involved with model and dance partner Alexis Ren, and has since said “no more showmances,” but fans aren’t so sure.
Brown wasn’t the only Bachelor Nation representative at last night’s CMA’s. Her ex Colton Underwood was in attendance with girlfriend and former contestant Cassie Randolph, and Lauren Lane (formerly Bushnell) came with husband and country musician Chris Lane. Playing off of Hannah’s white gown, an awards announcer let Brown know there were some good potential husbands available and Brown, subtly taking jabs at ex, dog-f00d-jingle-artist Jed Wyatt, replied that she liked both country music and a “real musician.”
