Morais was married to Simone Santos, his high school sweetheart in his early 20s. While on The Bachelorette, he explained to Tayshia that they separated because they had grown apart as they transitioned into adulthood. He also said that their split was amicable, stating that there was no cheating, no abuse, or addiction. He also mentioned that her not wanting kids also contributed to their divorce.

Brendan Morais Bachelor in Paradise Season 7

Following his time on The Bachelorette Season 16, Morais returned to the franchise in 2021 as a contestant in Bachelor in Paradise Season 7. On the show, he attained the “villain” status after it was revealed he had a pre-show relationship with Pieper James and gained infamy for how he treated Natasha Parker. He had pursued Natasha to ensure he stayed on the show until Pieper’s arrival in Week 3. In addition, he was filmed telling Pieper that Natasha had “zero other prospects” and that he had actually done her a favor by giving her roses to keep her on the beach.

Within days of the episodes airing, Morais lost over 100,000 Instagram followers while Natasha Parker gained over 200,000 followers. He also lost brand deals like NordicTrack, which publicly announced they were terminating their partnerships with him because his actions did not align with their values. When they were confronted by the rest of the cast for their “scam,” Morais and Pieper chose to self-eliminate and leave the beach together. Later, he posted a seven-minute apology video, admitting he “hurt people” and needed to work on himself.
