Celebs Go Dating star Paul C Brunson has returned to the USA after spending years overseas.
The 49-year-old first moved to the UK in 2018 to film the Channel 4 show and eventually settled down with his family after years of travelling back and forth.
Paul is well known in reality TV from his appearances on several shows, including Married At First Sight, where he featured as a relationship expert, and co-hosting Celebs Go Dating.
The American recently landed in the States again and shared his thoughts on how his perspective has shifted about the country.
In a post to his 493,000 followers, Paul wrote: ‘Seven years away changes what you see.’
The reality star then went on to explain how conflicted he felt since returning.
‘Within 24 hours of landing back in the US for the first time in what seems like forever, I felt both at home and like a stranger,’ Paul added.
Paul shared the various things that he has now noticed about America.

‘Gun magazines placed beside candy. Prescription drug ads at every turn. SUVs that look like small ships. Coffee cups you could swim in,’ he went on.
‘Some of these things are small. Others feel massive. But together, they paint a picture of what’s normalized here, of the values and rhythms that shape daily life in ways you don’t always notice until you’ve stepped away.’
Paul spent seven years in the UK and the time away has made him see things in a different light.
He explained: ‘Living abroad has trained my eye to catch these details, but more than that, it’s made me curious about what they say about us: what we prioritize, what we overlook, and what we’ve quietly accepted as ‘just the way it is.”
Paul’s upload contained a series of images, outlining some of the points he had noticed including a positive point about the friendliness he feels from people.
‘There’s a warmth and friendliness unlike what I’ve seen in the UK, mostly London,’ he wrote.
The reality star’s post attracted thousands of likes and hordes of commenters, all keen to share their take.
Someone chimed in: ‘It really is amazing how living a abroad changes your eye.’
Another agreed: ‘Sad facts. Times have definitely changed and not all change has been for the best.

‘Unfortunately, lots of Americans have become desensitized by the subtle changes. Not me though. Stay vigilant people.’
While one had a different experience and said: ‘Just moved back to America after 8 years in London.
‘Feeling so much happier back in the states! The friendliness makes a difference.’
Someone else added: ‘I was just in the US and noticed the prescription adds, thought it was very bizarre.’
