  • Becca Tilley Says She Didn’t Love Chris Soules, Didn’t Get Picked

    In the finale of The Bachelor, Chris Soules picked Whitney Bischoff over Becca Tilley. However, Tilley admits that she’s perfectly fine with Soules’ decision. “I knew going into the day that I wasn’t going to be able to say what Chris needed to hear for him to choose me,” Tilley says. “I was preparing myself the night before for what was going to happen.” It’s the most drama-free break-up in The Bachelor history. According to Tilley, she can’t just lie and tell Soules that she loved him. She did admit that she could’ve fallen for the farmer from Iowa if she had more time to know him better.

    “I haven’t been in love before,” Tilley told Us Weekly. “I don’t have anything to compare it to, but I knew in my gut that it wasn’t right and that it wasn’t there yet. I think that’s where my head was at the end, that if I had more time I could get there, but I didn’t know that.”

    And since Tilley likes to get to know the guys she is dating first before starting a serious relationship, it seems we won’t be seeing her in The Bachelor spinoff show, Bachelor in Paradise. Tilley seems to be as old-fashioned as they come when it comes to relationships, which is why some people are wondering why she signed up for The Bachelor in the first place.

    Tilley explained her decision in an Instagram post.

    I’ve had the question asked: ‘why did you go on this show?’….Why not? I had the time of my life. Met some amazing girls who will be in my life forever and met an amazing guy who showed me that there are good guys out there- the kind who are patient and genuine.

    While Tilley didn’t find love in the show, it’s good to see that it was still a rewarding experience for her.

  • Whitney Bischoff Gets The Rose, Now Bachelor Wants A Baby

    Whitney Bischoff, a 29-year old nurse, won the heart of this season’s Bachelor, and now the two of them say they are ready to move on with their romance and plan their future together. But while they’re taking their time with wedding preparations, 33-year old Chris Soules says he’s ready to start a family.

    Whitney was the lucky lady among a gaggle of contestants, and Soules admits he was close with Becca, a 25-year old chiropractic assistant. However, the two of them just weren’t on the same page in their respective lives.

    “That doesn’t make it a bad thing, and it didn’t change how I felt about her, but it’s about trying to find the person that you can see in your life and that you have the best chance of making it work forever with. My sister said, ‘You’re not looking for a girlfriend, you’re looking for a wife.’ That’s the truth,” Soules said. “Becca has never been in love. Whitney has told me she loves me, and she’s close to 30 years old, she’s 29, she’s ready to be in love, ready to be married, and ready to have kids. Becca is kind of uncertain with all of those – those are big things when it comes to a relationship and when you’re wanting to be married. Those are kind of the main things.”

    Chris also noted that being the target of all that affection was harder than it looked, calling the experience stressful.

    “Lots of sleepless nights, sleepless flights, and waking up with your heart beating 7 million miles per hour and hyperventilating. Or feeling like you just can’t breathe because you’re so stressed out,” he said.

    The couple will reportedly be moving to Iowa, where Soules is a farmer, to start their new life together. The reality star says he can’t wait to begin planning a family.

    “I’m ready to be a dad. I’m 33. I think I’m past due!” he told People Magazine.

  • ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Signs ‘Bachelor’ Chris Soules

    Dancing With the Stars has announced the mystery contestant who wasn’t divulged last week when the remainder of the upcoming season’s cast was listed. It seems that shortly after The Bachelor’s Chris Soules hands out that final red rose, he’ll be putting on his dancing shoes.

    That’s right. Chris Soules is joining the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars. He will be paired up with Witney Carson as his dance pro partner. And there won’t be any making out with her on the Dancing With the Stars set. It’s not that kind of show. Witney Carson danced with Alfonso Ribeiro–all the way to that coveted mirror ball trophy–during season 19.

    A source explained to Us Weekly that Chris Soules has been meeting with DWTS producers for a few weeks now so he will understand exactly what is expected of him on the show. It seems he even called another Bachelor who has appeared on Dancing With the Stars–Sean Lowe–to ask him some questions about the competition.

    “He seems like he’s not totally sure what he’s getting himself into! It will be fascinating to see how well he does,” the source said.

    In addition to Sean Lowe and Chris Soules, other Dancing With the Stars contestants from the Bachelor or Bachelorette franchise include Bachelor Jake Pavelka, Bachelorette Trista Sutter, and Bachelor 13 castoff Melissa Rycroft.

    Dancing With the Stars premieres its 20th season on March 16th at 8:00 PM ET. Will you be tuning in to see Bachelor Chris Soules take his first spin around the ballroom?

  • Catherine Guidici of ‘The Bachelor’ Sports Blue Eyebrows at New York Fashion Week

    Catherine Giudici, who is married to The Bachelor‘s Sean Lowe, turned up Thursday at New York Fashion Week sporting blue eyebrows.

    It’s unclear whether the never-ending winter weather is to blame for Catherine Giudici‘s bold choice of blue brows, but it’s certainly turning heads in a place where there are plenty of beautiful models and celebrities to capture photogs attention.

    Who knows? Perhaps she’s genius in her choice of azure blue brows by drawing attention her way.

    The Desigual show at Lincoln Center was the place where Catherine Giudici decided that blue would be the colour-du-jour for her brows, which could perhaps be classified as an accessory paired with her blue-and-white long-sleeve Desigual design and a pair of white pumps.

    It’s also unclear whether her choice is permanent or just for the outfit. I guess we will all find out if her next outfit sports some magenta or purple hue, with brows to match.

    We find a rose in the garbage and naturally, this happens. #lastnight

  • Sharleen Joynt Finds Love Outside Of “The Bachelor”

    Sharleen Joynt, everyone’s favorite Bachelor contestant from last season, has found love in the real world.

    Sharleen Joynt brought feelings of glee to millions of viewers when she left Juan Pablo on her own terms.

    That was amazing.

    Sharleen Joynt admitted that she found him immensely attractive, as did everyone else.

    However, Sharleen Joynt, being a down-to-earth opera singer, was simply looking for a little more.

    In short, she was disturbed by his inability to hold an intelligent conversation.

    Well, Sharleen Joynt doesn’t have to worry about that anymore.

    This handsome man comes to Toronto tomorrow to visit me. Excited! #silverfox #nofilter #bioreboy

    She is engaged to normal guy Andy Levine. And they look super happy together.

    He’s no slouch in the looks department, either.

    Sharleen Joynt was so happy that she posted a pic to Instagram in order to share her excitement with the world.

    Her message is quite eloquent, and not at all like something composed by some former Bachelor contestants. Just putting that out there.

    Sharleen Joynt and Andy Levine can now focus on planning a lovely wedding! So excited for her!

    What do you think about Sharleen Joynt’s engagement to a normal guy?

  • Sharleen Joynt Engaged, See Pics Of Her New Fiance

    Sharleen Joynt, popular competitor on last season’s The Bachelor, is engaged to Andy Levine, normal guy.

    Sharleen Joynt was the grounded, more sophisticated, competitor last season who left the show of her own volition.

    Sharleen Joynt admitted to finding Juan Pablo exceedingly nice to look at, but found it disturbing that she couldn’t hold an intelligent conversation with him.

    Of course, marriage to Juan Pablo would require a very….special person. Some might say Sharleen Joynt dodged a very handsome bullet.

    Now, the down-to-earth opera singer has found new love and is so excited about her engagement that she shared an adorable pic so her fans could share in her happiness.

    Sharleen Joynt captioned the pic with sweet words of dedication to Andy Levine.

    She said, “I’ve always been a skeptic when it came to love. I’ve often wondered if there was a better fit for me out there. I’ve doubted my choices and focused on the imperfections. I’ve rarely been certain. But, I’ve never been more sure of anything in this world than I am of this love. Thank you, @machinelevine, for making me a believer. I love you.”

    We hate each other

    Sharleen Joynt Engaged: Former “Bachelor” Contestant Finds True Love

    Sharleen Joynt, one of America’s favorite contestants from The Bachelor, has found love in the real world.

    Sharleen Joynt is the down-to-earth opera singer from last season’s The Bachelor who made the decision to leave the show on her own.

    Many would say that she dodged a bullet when she gave up on romance with Juan Pablo.

    But, while she admittedly found him very attractive, Sharleen Joynt was unnerved when she couldn’t hold an intelligent conversation with him.

    Her new fiance, Andy Levine, is different. And he’s no slouch in the looks department either.

    Sharleen Joynt wrote, “I’ve always been a skeptic when it came to love. I’ve often wondered if there was a better fit for me out there. I’ve doubted my choices and focused on the imperfections. I’ve rarely been certain. But, I’ve never been more sure of anything in this world than I am of this love. Thank you, @machinelevine, for making me a believer. I love you.”

    Sweet! Sharleen Joynt is definitely more sophisticated than many of the contestants on The Bachelor.

  • Sharleen Joynt, Former Bachelor Contestant, Engaged

    Sharleen Joynt, the opera singer who quickly became a favorite on The Bachelor with Juan Pablo Galavis, is engaged to a better man.

    Sharleen Joynt was looking for love in all the wrong places when she joined The Bachelor. I mean, she found Juan Pablo “ridiculously sexy”, but couldn’t hold a conversation with the guy.

    Who could? That’s sort of essential in a marriage, holding a conversation.

    When Sharleen Joynt exited the show, she went on to bigger and better things.

    Namely, Andy Levine.

    Sharleen Joynt has shared her love with the world for a while on social media, but it was her joy to announce on Instagram that she and Andy Levine are engaged!

    The caption on Sharleen Joynt’s photo is sweet and eloquent.

    She said, “I’ve always been a skeptic when it came to love. I’ve often wondered if there was a better fit for me out there. I’ve doubted my choices and focused on the imperfections.

  • Nikki Ferrell Cries Over Juan Pablo Galavis on ‘Couples Therapy’: No JPab, Es Not OK

    No, Juan Pablo, es not OK!

    Nikki Ferrell broke down on Wednesday’s episode of VH1’s Couples Therapy.

    And here’s the shocker — or not. She had a meltdown because her The Bachelor boyfriend, Juan Pablo Galavis, who never stopped saying “Es OK” during season 18 of the ABC series in his native Venezuelan accent, refused to say he loves her.

    Again.

    On the After the Final Rose finale in March, Galavis said, “I like you,” in response to her declaration of love and has yet to say those three words to the 26-year-old pediatric nurse.

    “I feel like why give someone 100 percent, if they’re not giving you 100 percent?” Ferrell, 27, cried to her therapist, Dr. Jenn Berman, and her fellow housemates.

    “I still feel like he’s holding back… If I’m always gonna have this feeling like I’m always waiting for him to choose me, the relationship is not gonna work. I feel like he could up and leave from this relationship at any time, and he’ll be completely fine with it,” she lamented.

    JPab responded to her tirade, “She wants to hear I love you. It’s a word issue. It’s a feeling. It’s a word. I feel like I cannot be without her… She wants to hear ‘I love you.’ To me it kind of sucks that just three words will make her feel 100 percent confident.

    “If I say it, I mean it,” he insisted.

    “Do you love Nikki?” an apparent expert on lying and deception on the show asked Galavis point blank.

    “I can say, ‘Yeah, I’m falling for her big time,’” he said. “Do I love her, as to tell her, ‘I love you?’ No.”

    Yeah, I bet that went over well.

    I’m not going to say it, but I bet you can guess what I’m thinking.

  • Kacie Boguskie: ‘Bachelor’ Fan Favorite Marries

    Two-time Bachelor contestant Kacie Boguskie — who appeared on both Ben Flajnik and Sean Lowe‘s seasons of the hit ABC series — got her fairy-tale ending at last.

    Boguskie married music executive Rusty Gaston Sunday at Tennessee’s Bellemeade plantation, the same place where Gaston asked for her hand in marriage in February, confirmed E! News.

    “Rusty and I met in December of 2012,” said Boguskie to Us Weekly about the couple’s meeting. “We randomly met while we were both out to dinner with friends at the same restaurant. We were both sitting at the bar with each of our friends and started talking. He asked me out to dinner the next week, and I went. And we’ve been dating ever since.”

    The couple didn’t wait long to marry once the decision was made.

    “We didn’t want a long engagement,” said the Bachelor contestant. “So we knew for it to happen right away, we’d probably have to do it on a Sunday. When they told us Mother’s Day was available, we jumped on it. We thought it would make everything extra special.”

    According to E! News the vows took place in the plantation’s garden and a reception followed in the carriage house.

    “We did heavy hors d’oeuvres, beer and wine and a Motown band,” said Boguskie. “Our goal was just for everyone to dance and have a good time.”

    The couple went all out for their guests, especially when it came to the wedding cake, or as it turns out, wedding cakes.

    “We had a gluten-free coconut cake because I have a gluten allergy,” said Boguskie. “Then we also had chocolate on chocolate, red velvet and white on white.”

    The bride was very clever when choosing a wedding dress that served more than one purpose.

    “It’s the best of both worlds,” she said. “It has a sheer lace overlay that gave it a ball gown feel for the ceremony, but then unbuttoned at the sash and transformed into a fitted gown for the reception.”

    The new Mrs. Gaston seems very happy to have found the man of her dreams. “I still can’t believe I found someone so perfect for me,” she said.

    Boguskie couldn’t spill on any details on the honeymoon apart from what her new husband — who’s keeping the destination a secret from his bride — told her.

    “I don’t know where we’re going on our honeymoon — it’s a surprise!” Boguskie told Us before the ceremony. “He is telling me at our reception. All I was told was to pack tropical. I’m so excited!”

  • Renee Oteri Ties The Knot In Courthouse Wedding (PHOTOS)

    Renee Oteri was a fan favorite on the latest season of “The Bachelor”, but didn’t find a love connection with Juan Pablo Galavis. It wasn’t meant to be, however, because she ended up marrying her childhood best friend–and the first boy she ever kissed–on Thursday in a courthouse wedding.

    Oteri and Bracy Maynard, who have known one another for 22 years, shared their nuptials in a low-key ceremony just one month after announcing they were engaged. They recently bought a home together and live there with Oteri’s 9-year old son Ben, who also served as the best man on the big day.

    A friend of Oteri’s told Us Weekly that Oteri and Maynard are very happy together and have wanted this for a long time.

    “She is so happy and has wanted this with her fiance for a very long time!” the source said. “We’re all so happy to see them back together! He is always the one everyone wanted to see her with!”

    Oteri reportedly has no ill feelings towards Galavis, who has gotten some pretty negative reviews from fans of the show. Friends say she is incredibly happy and is ready to start a new life.

    “Her fiance has known Ben since he was a baby,” a friend close to the couple said. “Renee is so excited to start over with her new family in Seattle.”

  • Renee Oteri Engaged To Childhood Love

    Renee Oteri has just married her childhood boyfriend, Bracy Maynard, who she says has been her best friend for 22 years. The beautiful blonde experienced a very public dating process as a contestant on ABC’s popular television series, The Bachelor 2014, where she garnered a significant fan following. Though 32-year-old Oteri was not the final choice for Bachelor star Juan Pablo Galavis, the blue-eyed beauty has married her own special someone.

    A source close to the couple recently spoke with Wetpaint about the romance. “Renee has known him since they were 12 years old. He was her first kiss! They were best friends growing up, and even dated a few years ago, but they broke up in 2010.”

    The insider spoke about Maynard’s knowledge of Oteri’s involvement in The Bachelor. “He knew she was going on the show, but they don’t talk about it at all. He hasn’t been watching this season, and I doubt he will,” the insider said.

    Oteri has already updated the profile information on her Instagram page to read, “Livin’ Life in Flip Flops & Rain Boots | & yes…I’m MARRIED.”

    Maynard, who had a career in the military, proposed with a 1.25-carat circle-cut diamond ring made from a 14-karat white gold band. Oteri shared on her Instagram that she was the “happiest girl in the world.”

    Many friends and fans have already voiced their congratulations for the couple.

  • Juan Pablo Galavis Defends Actions on ‘Bachelor’

    People Magazine posted a blog yesterday from Juan Pablo Galavis, contestant for The Bachelor, who recently ended the series with no proposal and no “I love you”.

    “As my experience ended, I finally sat down for a second to analyze how everything started and how everything ended.” Galavis wrote, “I decided to take the chance to be The Bachelor, even though it was something that I had never thought I would do because I had never seen the show before.”

    After being eliminated on the The Bachelorette, Galavis was picked to star in the eighteenth season of The Bachelor. As he wrote in his blog, “Chris Harrison said, “In the history of this show, no guy has made a greater impact with less screen time.” Have you thought about why people apparently liked me at the time? Why I didn’t have that much screen time? Well, so you guys understand a little bit more, it is because of my honesty and that I don’t like drama at all – something that viewers appreciated from the little they saw of me on The Bachelorette.”

    However, Galavis’ time on the show was tumultuous at best. Controversy arose from skinny dipping on the show, and he was criticized by one of the shows previous stars, Sean Lowe, for demanding privacy:

    “Some people don’t like me, hate me and wish me the worst.” Galavis wrote, “There are some that still see me as the guy before Vietnam, that cares about his daughter, that cares about other people (especially the 27 women who took the time to meet me), jokes around a lot, is sarcastic, likes to dance, drama-free, who wants a family and is very honest – like I said before, maybe too honest for this reality show – and it’s okay.”

    Nikki Ferrell was chosen by Galavis in the final rose ceremony, but did not receive a proposal or an “I love you”. Lowe was quick to support Galavis in a Twitter post:

    After the show’s finale, Galavis has repeatedly posted on social media on his ongoing relationship with Ferrell:

    They have not posted any plans of marriage.

  • Juan Pablo Galavis Tweets Visit to Vegas

    Juan Pablo Galavis Tweets Visit to Vegas

    The Bachelor‘s Juan Pablo Galavis made a quick trip to Vegas just days before the show’s finale.

    Saturday night, the 32-year-old former Venezuelan soccer player was in Las Vegas to take in the Jorge Linares vs. Nihito Arakawa boxing match at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

    With two friends tagging along, Galavis, who some say is the worst bachelor in the show’s history, drove to Las Vegas, posting pics of the road trip on Twitter and Instagram throughout the day.

    Ironically, or not, his first stop was to a wedding chapel, where he posed in front with a cheeky grin on his face.

    Galavis later got in the ring with his fellow country man, Linares, as the boxer was introduced. Before hitting the ring, JP posed for this shot with Linares.

    After the fight he went to Joe’s Stone Crab with friends for a meal. “It was him and a bunch of guys who were a part of the Venezuelan fighter’s team and a couple older ladies with big hair,” a source said of the two-hour meal.

    Around 12:30 a.m., Galavis was seen at Beacher’s Madhouse. According to witnesses, he didn’t drink but he did pose for photos with the crowd.

    Juan Pablo Galavis will make his decision between Clare Crawley and Nikki Ferrell on tonight’s finale. Rumor has it he proposes to not one.

    “I could definitely imagine my future with Juan Pablo,” says 32-year-old hairstylist Crawley. “I’ve fallen in love with him.”

    “Every little girl dreams of their wedding . . . Dreams of the day they know they found someone,” says pediatric nurse Ferrel, 26, says. “In a few days, he’s going to be down on one knee.”

    Who do you think JP picks? Should both women run for the hills?

  • Juan Pablo Galavis Gets Dissed By One Of His Ladies

    And then there were three, except one decided to voice her opinion and leave on her own, so then there were two. (That’s just math.)

    Tuesday night’s episode of The Bachelor was quite an exciting episode.

    What seemed to start out as a wonderful one-on-one went horribly wrong.

    It all started with the fantasy suite overnight between Juan Pablo Galavis and Andi Dorfman.

    Going in Andi said, “If this is a relationship that you think is serious, and I do, then I would definitely like to do this,” but something happened in the fantasy suite that turned Andi WAY off.

    “Waking up this morning I could not wait to get out of the fantasy suite. The fantasy suite turned into a nightmare. I saw a side to him that I didn’t really like. The whole night was a disaster,” explained Andi.

    Apparently during their alone time together, Juan Pablo “name dropped,” spent a little too much time talking about himself and made a huge faux pas – he bragged about his alone time with another contestant, Clare Crawley. Andi responded the only way a woman could, saying Juan Pablo’s discussion of his overnight with Clare was “inappropriate…[it] blew my mind that he thought that was OK to talk about.”

    But Andi didn’t stop there. She called Juan Pablo “offensive” and said he had “no filter.”

    It’s no surprise that after such a horrendous night with the bachelor Andi decided it was high time she left the competition. She decided to break the news to Juan Pablo the morning of the rose ceremony. He responded “OK” and then Andi told him like it was.

    “I left behind family and friends and a job and I missed weddings…when you say it’s OK, that’s not OK,” Andi said. And the lawyer didn’t stop there. She asked him why he didn’t actually try to get to know her and ask her about important issues. You know, things you might want to cover before deciding to spend the rest of your life with a person. Or at least make some sort of commitment to.

    Andi still wasn’t done sharing what a jerk Juan Pablo had been to her. She said he told her she only made it to the Top 3 “by default.” To which Juan Pablo responded that he didn’t even know what “default” meant. “It’s not in my vocabulary.” He continued to put his foot in his mouth by saying, “You barely made it here.”

    I mean, who wouldn’t fall in love with this guy?

    In the limo ride Andi continued by saying, “He doesn’t see it. It’s not a language barrier thing.”

    It may not be cool to say, but Andi, you go girl!

    Of course, none of this seemed to bother Juan Pablo, because according to him that argument was going to be her ticket home. “She’s a lawyer. I’m not going to argue with a lawyer. Honestly, putting words in my mouth it just killed it right there,” Juan Pablo explained.

    Andi continued to get the last laugh, taking to Twitter the same day the episode aired mocking Juan Pablo. She even got fellow contestants Kelly Travis and Sharleen Joynt in on the action.

  • Shayne Lamas: ‘Bachelor’ Winner Loses Baby, in Coma

    Shayne Lamas, winner of season 12 on The Bachelor, has reportedly lost her baby and is in a coma following a serious pregnancy complication. Paramedics arrived at the home Lamas shares with husband Nik Richie in Orange County earlier on Monday. Shayne had collapsed and was taken to the hospital.

    Lamas reportedly lost her unborn baby during surgery and is now on life support in a coma.

    This baby would have been the second for Shayne Lamas and Nik Richie. The couple has another daughter, Press Dahl Lamas-Richie, who was born in November of 2011. The loss of this baby will no doubt have an impact on Nik and Shayne’s little girl.

    On Monday afternoon doctors reported that Shayne Lamas was not “breathing on her own,” however they were “optimistic” about her dire medical situation. Her father, Lorenzo Lamas, is by her side, along with Nik Richie.

    It was only a few weeks ago when Nik Richie confirmed that Shayne was in fact expecting their second baby.

    “Both Shayne and I are super excited for our second child,” the co-founder of celeb site TheDirty.com said in one of his blog posts. “I’ve grown so much as a father and Shayne is an amazing mother. Together we are a great team and love each other very much.”

    It was only about three weeks ago when Shayne Lamas posted the following on Instagram about her pregnancy.

    Hopefully Shayne Lamas emerges from her coma and makes a full recovery. It will no doubt be devastating for her to learn that she lost her baby. It is far more important, however, for her to survive this harrowing ordeal and to be around to raise the couple’s other little girl.

    Prayer are no doubt being said from around the world for the former Bachelor winner as she struggles to survive.

  • DeAnna Pappas Stagliano: Bachelorette Alum Has Baby

    DeAnna Pappas Stagliano announced her pregnancy just a few short months ago as seen in the video clip above. This past Thursday the Bachelorette alum and her husband Stephen Stagliano welcomed their baby girl into the world.

    DeAnna is technically an alum from both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. She appeared on season 11 of the first and season 4 of the latter. Rejected by Brad Womack on The Bachelor, she was tapped by ABC to appear on a subsequent season of The Bachelorette. It was actually Ellen DeGeneres who was helping her lick her Womack wounds while a guest on her show who told her she was wanted by the network for The Bachelorette. While on that show in 2008 she rejected single dad Jason Mesnick in favor of snowboarder Jesse Csincsak, whose marriage proposal she accepted. Their relationship didn’t last long. Their engagement was called off within months.

    It was in 2010 that Pappas said yes to Stephen Stagliano’s marriage proposal–far away from any TV cameras or matchmaking. Stephen’s brother, Michael Stagliano, was a contestant on season 5 of The Bachelorette, however. It seems she and her now hubby were keeping it (a taste of reality TV) all in the family.

    Both Stephen and DeAnna Stagliano took to social media almost immediately after their baby girl was born last week.

    The Bachelorette alum shared the following tweet.

    Stephen joined the Twitter craze as well.

    No word has escaped yet as to what DeAnna Pappas Stagliano and her hubby have named their little bundle of joy. Hopefully they eschew some of today’s trends and stick to a classic name their child won’t be embarrassed to use as she grows from childhood into adulthood.

    Congratulations to them both on their new little blessing.

  • Emily Maynard Engaged Again; Will She Finally Marry?

    Emily Maynard, the Bachelorette who stole our hearts when she won the 15th season of The Bachelor in 2011, is now engaged AGAIN! This time, and hopefully her last time, the North Carolina native is planning to wed boyfriend Tyler Johnson.

    Maynard first broke the news on Good Morning America on January 14, saying that she and Johnson would be walking down the aisle “soon.”

    She later revealed to Us Weekly that Johnson proposed to her on January 4, presenting rings to both Maynard and her 8-year-old daughter.

    “He proposed to me at home and gave both Ricki and me rings. It was so sweet! Ricki loves him more than she likes me!” (Ricki is Maynard’s daughter with her first fiance, the late NASCAR driver Ricky Hendrick. Hendrick tragically perished in a plane crash before the young couple learned that they were expecting a child, just six months after the pair became engaged.)

    The former Bachelorette took to her website last Friday to officially break the news to her followers and post some pictures of she and Johnson – and her new ring(s).

    “Assuming you haven’t been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard the news but if not, I’m here to let the cat out of the bag. I’m ENGAGED!” Maynard wrote. “And no, it’s not to someone I met on a reality show or even a dating site, but to an amazing man I met through my church, Forest Hill, in Charlotte. I should’ve known all along that God was going to do things His way!”

    Of her lavish finger candy, Maynard says that she told Johnson that she didn’t want something traditional to serve as her engagement ring, so he chose a stack of gorgeous, diamond-encrusted bands for his bride.

    Those bands have now become the most talked-about aspect of the couple’s entire engagement; Twitter, Instagram, and numerous magazines and websites, alike, are positively abuzz with pictures and comments about Maynard’s unique jewels.

    Emily Maynard, although just 26, has been engaged three times prior to Johnson; after the loss of Ricky Hendrick, Emily appeared as a contestant on ABC’s, The Bachelor, where she became engaged to Brad Womack. The relationship and engagement both ended, however, shortly after the show aired in 2011.

    Later that year, though, Emily got another chance at love when she became the Bachelorette, and ultimately fell in love with, and agreed to marry, suitor Jef Holm. Sadly, the two could not make it as a couple, either, and she and Holm called off their wedding in October 2012.

    Finally, however, Emily may actually get the chance to wear white; the bride-to-be recently said, “We definitely are looking to get married sooner rather than later. No point in waiting!”

    Obviously, this is a good thing since her track record hasn’t been so great in love; the southern blonde from Charlotte is impossible to dislike, though, and we wish Emily, Tyler, and Ricki a lifetime of happiness.

  • Sean Lowe and Catherine Guidici Tie the Knot

    Sean Lowe and Catherine Guidici tied the knot on TV Sunday evening in the first televised wedding stemming from The Bachelor. The Bachelor star’s father Jay served as wedding officiant. He called the wedding “an epic fairy tale on display for the whole world to see.” The ceremony and reception took place at the Four Seasons Resort–The Biltmore Santa Barbara.

    A few former Bachelor stars were on Sean Lowe and Catherine Guidici’s guest list, including Jason and Molly Mesnick, Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum, Trista and Ryan Sutter, and newly engaged Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried. Lesley Murphy, who competed on Sean Lowe’s season of The Bachelor, served as one of Catherine Guidici’s bridesmaids.

    Lowe wore a dapper Golce and Gabbana tuxedo and Guidici stunned in a positively elegant Monique Lhuillier gown.

    Sean Lowe and Catherine Guidici met on The Bachelor and became engaged in Thailand in 2012. The wedding ceremony aired live on ABC on Sunday evening. The groom was reported to have tears in his eyes when he finally kissed his beautiful bride at the end of the wedding ceremony. He had predicted ahead of time–actually during an interview on Good Morning America–that he would be the one to cry.

    “Anytime I start talking about her, I can’t help but tear up,” he said, admitting that he is a self-proclaimed “softie.”

    “The first time that I saw you, you were like a light to my bug. I had to find you. You mesmerize me with how brightly you shine,” Catherine told Sean at the altar. “Sometimes I feel like I’m going to explode by how much I love you … I’m completely consumed by you … I promise to love you after my heart bursts … You are my dream and my reality.”

    “From the moment I met you I wanted more. You had me hooked from the beginning and I didn’t want to let you go,” Sean then said. “We met in the strangest way possible … I know that we met on The Bachelor so that I could fall in love with my best friend … Every day I am encouraged by your love and your selflessness … I’m going to love you for eternity.”

    Neil Lane, who designed Catherine Guidici’s 3.15 carat engagement ring also designed Guidici and Lowe’s wedding bands.

    It certainly seems like The Bachelor wedding was a dream come true for both Sean Lowe and Catherine Guidici. Did you tune in and shed a few tears, too?

    However, his first tweet was only the beginning. Lowe and Giudici have both taken to Twitter with play-by-play news of their daily activities since his first tweet. They have more than 20 tweets collectively, and an array of pictures giving fans a glimpse inside of their romantic world.

    They’ve also tweeted about their numerous public appearances promoting the televised wedding special, visiting Good Morning America, The View and, most recently, Jimmy Kimmel Live. On Thurs. Jan. 23, Giudici announced via Twitter that they were heading to the resort in Santa Barbara.

    Hours later, Instagram pictures started pouring in as they arrived at the Four Seasons Resort — The Biltmore Santa Barbara. Giudici shared a picture of her elegant Bridetastic wedding emergency kit, and a glimpse of their cottage at the resort.

    Lowe also offered up a few pictures. It was obvious that he was quite taken with his groom’s cake! He also shared a picture from the couple’s rehearsal dinner last night.

    Lowe, a 29-year-old Dallas, TX native proposed to Giudici, 27, in Thailand in March of 2013. The Bachelor: Sean and Catherine’s Wedding airs tonight at 8/7C on the Alphabet.

  • Catherine Giudici-Sean Lowe To Wed Tonight On TV

    Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici prep for their guaranteed lifetime season reality show gig by giving America more of what they want– their lives!

    Taking it millions of steps further than the poor saps who document their every occurrence on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for a few people to care see, the couple are wisely enlisting the use of network money to pay for their wedding celebration by airing it live tonight on television.

    If you’re pitifully out of the know, Sean Lowe is a star of the “Bachelor” series, a television show that pits pairs a bachelor with great prospects against with desirable potential romantic partners. Catherine Giudici became the winner of Lowe’s heart, and they have been engaged since March of last year.

    Catherine Giucidi, by the way, is a Vegan graphic designer from Seattle. Those last five words should let you know why Sean Lowe instantly fell head over heels for her. Known for her sweet demeanor, as opposed to the general cattiness of most romance reality show competitors, she seals the deal in the Sweet Book by encouraging us to send donations to Micaela’s Army Foundation for kids with cancer for wedding gifts.

    Recently, we’ve been privy to tweets and pictures galore reassuring us of their forever love as well as details leading up to the wedding from the doggy grooms-cake

    to a well-placed product endorsement of Catherine Giudici’s must-have “Emergency Wedding Kit.”

    — there were even a couple of tweets to ward off the Love Haters:

    (kudos to not losing your edge, Sean, even in Wild Amazing Love.)

    Be sure to catch this moment of history by tuning in to ABC at 8 p.m. EST tonight while you ponder the big questions like, “Will we get to vote on the baby names?” Can’t wait for the next episodes.
