“The Bachelorette” contestant Chris Lambton, who was dumped by Ali Fedotowsky for her fiancé Roberto Martinez, has found love and is currently dating “The Bachelor Pad” contestant Peyton Wright.

Peyton and Chris met at one of the Bachelor/Bachelorette reunions and hit it off. The two have been keeping a long distance relationship since August of 2010. “We met at a Bachelor function,” Peyton says. “It’s long distance so we’re on the phone and iChatting a lot.”

Of the day they first met, Peyton says, “It’s one of those things where I’ve had a ton of serious relationships and I met this kid and he was genuine, outgoing and hilarious and we just click.”

Chris actually refused to become the next Bachelor after he realized that wasn’t the right way to find true love. “That’s just not me,” Chris said. “Sitting at home and watching the season with my family weirded me out. I wanted to find love on my own and not in that type of situation, so I said, ‘You know what? I’m not going to do it.’”
