'Joe Millionaire' Carolyn Moore Says She Rejected Kurt After He Split from Amanda

Carolyn Moore is getting the last laugh, some might say -- after getting blindsided on the finale of "Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer," she says she ended up rejecting Kurt Sowers months after the show.

TMZ broke the story ... Kurt and Amanda Pace, the woman he picked over Carolyn, ended things the month after filming the show last fall. Now Carolyn tells us Kurt reached out to her following that split, but alas ... he couldn't make their relationship work either.

MY MESSAGE TO KURT

Carolyn says they were both curious about trying again because of the connection they made on the show, but she soon realized Kurt still had issues with her platonic relationship with the father of her child.

She says that's why she's shutting the door completely on Kurt -- rejecting a romantic relationship, or even a friendship. She explained why the "just friends" thing would not work with him.

ICYMI ... Kurt shocked fans, and Carolyn, when he chose Amanda.

The whole season it was clear he and Carolyn had a genuine connection ... but he still got cold feet in the finale, as he constantly worried about Carolyn's previous relationship.

Now, it's safe to say Carolyn is leaving all the Kurt baggage behind ... she says, she's single and ready to mingle.

'Joe Millionaire' Steven McBee Buys KC Mansion ... Calah's Moving in!!!

Things are really heating up between 'Joe Millionaire' star Steven McBee and his new lover, Calah Jackson ... cause we're told they're gonna be shacking up in his new home.

ICYMI, Steven chose Calah and gave her a promise ring on the season finale, and he's already making an even bigger commitment by dropping $772,565 on a Kansas City, MO love nest.

Our sources say, Steven bought the place in his name, but the couple's decided to move in together. It's a bigger move for Calah -- she's from Dallas -- but they won't be too far from Steven's family in the rural town of Gallatin, MO.

We're told, the house is still under construction, but should be finished by the end of this month. These photos -- taken by photographers Mark and Cyndi McCombs -- of a replica model give you an idea of what their new pad will look like.

From the looks of it, it'll be pretty nice and they'll have lots of space in their 4 bedroom, 4 bath pad. It's a sweet "starter" home for the couple, but then again ... he's a millionaire.

The lovebirds seems to be having better luck than the other Joe on the show. As we've told you, Kurt has already split from Amanda, who he picked in the finale.

As for Steven and Calah, they're already taking things to the next level ... and who knows what'll be next 👀

'Joe Millionaire' Finale Kurt Sowers Already Single ... Split from Winner!!!

On tonight's finale of "Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer" Kurt Sowers does find love, but TMZ has learned there's another plot twist -- one you won't see on the show.

So, this is where we give you the ol' SPOILER ALERT ... just in case you're on the west coast and don't wanna find out how it ends until you see it on FOX.

Alright, for everyone else ... here's the big upset news: Kurt chooses Amanda Pace in the finale, and not Carolyn!!! That's the first shocker, and the second one is ... Kurt and Amanda are already dunzo!!!

A source close to the former couple tells TMZ ... they called off their relationship back in December, not long after the show wrapped filming in the fall.

For those keeping score or laying wagers, the pairing only ended up lasting about a month and a half.

We're told there wasn't anything specific that caused the split ... instead, they simply realized their relationship wasn’t going to work outside of the show as their lives were heading in different directions. Simply put ... they just weren't a great match, romantically.

We're told it had nothing to do with the fact Amanda found out what viewers have known all season -- that Steven McBee is the millionaire 'Joe,' and Kurt is, well ... not.

And, just like that, Kurt's back on the market and looking for love. Our sources say he's confident he will meet the right person outside of reality TV.

Many fans of the show speculated on social media he'd chosen Carolyn, the other fan favorite. We know what you're thinking, but no ... we're told he's not rebounding with her.

Not now, anyway.
