'Bachelor' Tenley: 'Kiptyn has big heart'

Bachelor Pad star Tenley Molzahn has reportedly praised new boyfriend Kiptyn Locke.

The reality couple confirmed rumours that they were dating over the weekend when they walked the red carpet together at an Emmy Awards party.

Speaking to Us Weekly, Molzahn said: "Kiptyn has one of the biggest hearts and he's totally genuine."

Referencing the fact they live about an hour apart from each other in California, she said: "[We meet] whenever we can make it happen. There's a lot of snuggling on beaches and just hanging out. We have fun having downtime together."

She also appeared to hint that she would consider moving in with Locke if a job opportunity arose in his town, but added that it is probably "too soon to say".

Locke also told the magazine that he admires the fact the college admissions worker is "full of positive energy".

Molzahn - who appeared on Jake Pavelka's season of The Bachelor - previously described Locke as an "incredible guy", and admitted that there was "some excitement" when they both realised that they would be appearing on the show.

Bachelor Pad continues next Monday at 8/7c on ABC.
