Alex Nation appearance on Bachelor In Paradise and her subsequent confrontation with ex-Richie Strahan, 33, has so far been one of the biggest draw cards for this season of the show.
But on Wednesday, the reality star, 27, confessed she kept her casting a secret from her eight-year-old son, Elijah.
