Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hey guys, welcome to another episode of the Home Most
Famous podcast. Will Ben is settling home, I believe today
from his trip to Italy. We have our producer, Heather Mundy.
She is going to be filling in for him today
as we go through headlines. And I love this because
Heather has so many good bachelor opinions. This is so
(00:27):
welcome to the show, Heather, You're always here, but welcome
on air.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Thank you Ashley for having me. Normally I'm testing you
on the side during these things, but now you get
to hear my thoughts in real time.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yes, so so happy. So we have a huge announcement.
The biggest one came while we were about to hit
record on this podcast. Jojo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers are
about to have their first baby, Baby Rogers, coming January
twenty twenty six, and she mentioned the first line of
(00:59):
the Instagram caption she said, I love you so much already,
our sweet rainbow baby, which of course alludes to the
fact that they have had a miscarriage before. She hasn't
been open about it. I'm sure, well, I'm not sure.
She doesn't need to be maybe she will, maybe she
won't talk about that at some point now that she
(01:20):
has this joy. But we are so happy for them. Congratulations.
We know that this has been in the hopes for
a while, anything.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
To have there, and so can I just say, maybe
one of the most gorgeous couples to ever come out
of Bachelor Nation, like having, you know, starting a family together.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I am so excited for them.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I think that's great.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Ye ask me too. I can't wait to text her
and see how her pregnancy has been. And I saw
her in March, and I'm just really really happy this
has happened to her and him. Of course they're gonna
be outstanding parents. Those are one of the couples that
you feel like, oh, if I had to be born
into a family like that is a family to be
born and this is gonna be a really lucky baby
(02:06):
exactly exactly. Speaking of pregnancy announcements, this one is a
little bit more shocking in my opinion. My bachelorette crush
one of my favorite bachelorettes to ever be Emily Maynard,
who has never been on the show, nor does she
do any other podcast. She kind of has stepped away
from the limelight completely. Her daughter Ricky is pregnant. She's
(02:31):
twenty years old, and she announced it yesterday on her
Instagram stories with kind of a funny thing. You explained
this better because you are a Love Island girly, I
am not so.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
First of all, I have to say, Emily Maynard and
Grandma in the same line is not something I was
anticipating seeing they neither.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Emily maynerd just had a baby. He's three now, that's insane.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
But yeah, the funny thing is is for the Love
Island fans out there. We do know that this week
was the much anticipated reunion cast member Hooda was asked
about her relationship status and she said, you know, Netflix
told me I'm not allowed to talk about it, which
was you know, jarring. We all know she's in a
(03:15):
relationship with Louis from Perfect Match, which is on Netflix,
which is why she couldn't speak about it because I
hadn't been out yet. But that's what Ricky used when
making her pregnancy announcement this week, which is pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
So we don't have any word from Emily herself. Emily
is the mom of six kids now. Jones is three
Nolah Belle four, Gatlin seven, Gibson eight, Jennings ten and
then and she shares all of those with husband Tyler Johnson,
who she married, oh, I guess about ten eleven years ago.
And Ricky, if you guys aren't familiar with you know
(03:54):
Emily's day of the Bachelor and Bachelorette. She shares Ricky
with her late fiance, say, Ricky Hendrick. He was a
race car driver, and she didn't even know she was
pregnant with Ricky until his plane went down, and she's
so and then like Ricky was like her little miracle baby,
(04:16):
realized that she had part of her fiance in her body,
so that she was a gift. And now she's giving
her the gift of being a grandmother, which she's thirty nine.
And that's just it's just wild because I really watching
I remember watching Ricky being just a little girl. I
(04:37):
guess she was like four. On the Bachelorette. They had
it film in North Carolina so she could kind of
resume life of normalcy for Ricky and now she's going
to be a mom herself. Ashley.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Not to make it really weird, but like you and
I are both not far from thirty nine, Like, can
you imagine being a grandma?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
No, I'm like so mind boggled. Well, I know it exists,
but this is like what I went to bed thinking
last night. I was like, I don't even think Emily's
forty yet. And she's going to be a grandma, Like
for it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Like her kids and her grandchild are going to be
growing up together.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, Like it's gonna be like your uncle is three
years older than you. Yeah, they're probably going to go
to school together. What oh man already. Well, Emily, I'm
sure won't be talking about this anywhere other than her
own social media whenever she decides.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
To do that.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
But I wish a wish that we could have her
on sometime. We'll see Shrek comes out of hiding. It's okay,
we respect whatever her life decision is. We love to
admire her from afar. She's adorable. Let's talk about Deanna
pappas another bachelor at Lead. She is now saying no
to alcohol. She's the best decision she's ever made. She
(05:55):
feels so much better and she actually she actually made
this headline on our new podcast, Famously Available. Ben will
be hosting that, and she is going to be dating
on that we're going to try to play matchmaker, and
she says that she's been sleeping better, she's been more
clear on herself and more in touch with herself and
(06:18):
also more in touch with her higher power. She said
that she's had a lot of loss in her life
and had to grieve on every level. I just didn't
grieve the loss of my marriage and my ex husband.
I didn't just have to grieve those things, but the
loss of his family. And she said that in those
moments she chose to drink. My affair was with alcohol,
(06:39):
and that was my piece to Carrie. I've chosen to
given up alcohol. Clearly it was unhealthy for me. I
just took a deep look at my life and where
it was going, and it wasn't headed in a direction
where I wanted it to. And if alcohol was the
one thing that I could give up, then by all
means I was willing to do it. So we appreciate
Dianna for being so open on Famously Available, and make
(06:59):
sure that if you want more on Deanna's journey to
find love, tune into that. I think it's on our feed,
right Heather, It'll be all coming up on our feed.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
It definitely is on our feed. And yeah, we have
so much great stuff coming with not only Deanna but
obviously Mercedes northup that we're also you know, doing that
podcast with so lots and lots of good dating relationship
stuff to come.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Do you Love Sex in the City Now you can

listen now.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Welcome to Dirty Rush, The Truth about Sorority life, the good,
the bad and the Sisterhood with your hosts me Gia Judaice.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
Daisy Kent, and Jennifer Fessler. Rush the recruitment, the ritual.
The reality of Greek life has been a mystery for
those outside the sorority circles until now.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
Is it really a supportive sisterhood that's simply misunderstood or
is there something more scandalous happening on campuses across the country.
In this podcast, we pledge to peel back the layers
and spell out the truth one Greek letter at a time.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Pledges and actives, rush chairs, and ritual keepers. Some call
it the best time of their life, while others say
it's a nightmare.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
From a perfect rush to recruitment scandals, what is really
going on behind the doors of those sorority houses from
Alpha to Omega.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
We're taking you inside sorority row, including the chapter room
as we explore the fellowship in the front of mees.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Let's get dirty.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
Listen to Dirty Rush on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Speaking of relationships, Chloe Costello, who you may remember from
Grand Season being the plus size model. Everybody was rooting
for her. She had like strawberry blonde hair. Well, she
is engaged now. She posted photos on her Instagram on
Monday where she shows off her pear shaped threestone engagement ring.
(09:26):
We don't know much right now about her relationship with
the fiance. We know that she started filming Bachelor about
a year ago. We'll have to have her on to
talk about her engagement to Hutch Hershberger because either they
have known each other for a while or this is
(09:46):
a quick engagement. But either way, we are saying congratulations
to Chloe and so are a whole bunch of her
friends from Grand Season.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I have a question for you, Ashley, because obviously we're
going to get into some other en engagement news. Do
you feel like summertime I always thought associated with wedding season,
but do you associate it also with engagement season? Like
a couple of girls on our team just got engaged
within the last week. I don't know when did you
and Jery get engaged? What time of June? June?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, and it was in Paradise, So I guess it's
like warm and lush all the time there. But I
think that like when you're thinking about engagements, you kind
of want it to be a pretty warm background. You
don't want to be I don't know. In my case,
I don't want to be like bundled up.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I feel like some people do the Christmas the Christmas
engagement too, where they take.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Christmas engagement is like the other one, you know, Yeah,
so it's the Christmas gift engagement with all the family
around in that celebratory time of year, or I feel
like it's summer, but you don't like find like anybody
really getting engaged. It's like randomly in January, you know, March,
just dead trees outside. And then of course congratulations to
(10:56):
Taylor to trust Kelsey had the most notable of all
engagements this summer, the biggest engagement of this maybe all time.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah, seriously.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
We also have a marriage in Bachelor Nation. Jullian Harris
old bachelorette, not old bachelorette. Former bachelorette. Jillian Harris married
Justin Pasteaux, her fiance and partner of thirteen years. They've
been engaged for five years, but it together for thirteen years.
(11:31):
They got married in a flower farm wedding. It was
they did a church ceremony on August twenty first, and
then they did like a big ceremony attended by one
hundred and sixty seven guests at their farm a couple
days later. After eight years of planning, she said, we've
(11:53):
decided to really go for it. It was an actual
fairy tale dream come true. And I'm so happy that
we waited this long so we could get truly what
planned and dreamed of for the day. They got engaged
Christmas morning, twenty sixteen, and yeah, so that's what we
(12:14):
got for them.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
We recently had Jillian on the podcast with the OG's
and we went to this whole thing about you know,
she told us why this wedding, first of all, how
extravagant it was going to be, and also why it
took so long to get there.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Why.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Well, I want people to go listen to the episode.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Good tease, Heather.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
There's a lot there. But I will say also one
of the biggest things she told us was about what
happened with the engagement ring that she got from her
time on The Bachelorette. So everybody should definitely go back
and listen to that Gillian Harris interview because she gave
us a lot which we're also so thrilled for her.
At the wedding looked gorgeous and that flower farm is
actually on their property and her husband created that over
(12:56):
the last year to make it super super gorgeous for them,
So congrats to them.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Oh that is awesome. And our last headline, still in
dating relationship news, Rachel Recki is spurting sparking rumors that
she's dating a new man since her time on the show.
You know, of course, she's been updating her life on
social media and then there were rumors that she and
Clayton would get back together, and then there's always rumors
(13:24):
about her and Blake Moins needing to be together. People
are always shipping the two of them, and now people
are talking about her dating somebody new. She posted a
carousel of photos on Instagram and this is what got
people talking. She looks freaking fantastic, the best she's ever looked,
she really does. Wow, she looks so amazing, and she's
(13:46):
holding hands with another man.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
This is Carrington, who did make an appearance on The
Perfect Match this season that Rachel was on. So he's
from Love Island. He came back to come on the show.
So very very cute. Obviously we don't know too much
about what's happening here, but cute. Nonetheless, I'm kind of.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Because they didn't hold hands like this on the actual show, right.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
No, as far as I've gotten in the show, he
leaves before she even got onto.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
The show, and that would be very Ali Joe and Sam.
Very yes. There's also another picture of her with another
cast member on the roller coaster at the Santa Monica
Pear and his arm is around her in a very
close way. She looks very happy here too, oh, so.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
That's Carrington, the one in the car, the one in
the ride is Carrington, okay, holding hands with Let me
look at this picture. I don't know who that is. No,
I don't know who she's I'm looking at it. I
don't know who she's holding hands with, But that's Carrington
in on the roller coaster ride holding her Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
So basically she's teasing it could be one of either
of these guys. They could just be Netflix cast members,
production crew, who the hell knows. But she also could
at the same time be teasing a little romance with
one of the two of the two guys in her
latest Instagram carousel.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
They're both cute, me into it, whichever one she's she's feeling.
I also know that if anybody's shipping her and Blake
the most, it's you.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Really, I mean, I know there to her, I know, well,
you know, every time we talked to her, there's another
picture of the two of them looking chummy.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I think she did recently post a video, another Africa
video and both of them being in it.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
So no, I truly believe they're just friends now, because
like she just keeps saying, absolutely not, absolutely not, and
it's like, all right, well, if you go on a
safari and you're like riding with him with his arm
around you at sunset on like some jeep like and
you're telling me that there's nothing going on, and for real,
for real, I'm gonna believe.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
You, now, Rachel, come and clear it up once and
for all.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
No, No, it's clear, it's clear. Now, come clear up this
carousel of photos? Which one are you dating? Alrighty? Well,
thanks guys for joining us, and again thanks Heather for
coming and doing headlines with me this week.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Oh thanks Ashley. Always always wanted to do this with you,
so I'm really excited that you had me on.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Well, come fill in any time, you know it all?
Speaker 3 (16:30):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Alrighty, We'll talk to you guys next time. Until then,
I've been Ashley.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
And I've been Heather.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Woo bye.

This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hey guys, welcome to another episode of the Home Most
Famous podcast. Will Ben is settling home, I believe today
from his trip to Italy. We have our producer, Heather Mundy.
She is going to be filling in for him today
as we go through headlines. And I love this because
Heather has so many good bachelor opinions. This is so
(00:27):
welcome to the show, Heather, You're always here, but welcome
on air.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Thank you Ashley for having me. Normally I'm testing you
on the side during these things, but now you get
to hear my thoughts in real time.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yes, so so happy. So we have a huge announcement.
The biggest one came while we were about to hit
record on this podcast. Jojo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers are
about to have their first baby, Baby Rogers, coming January
twenty twenty six, and she mentioned the first line of
(00:59):
the Instagram caption she said, I love you so much already,
our sweet rainbow baby, which of course alludes to the
fact that they have had a miscarriage before. She hasn't
been open about it. I'm sure, well, I'm not sure.
She doesn't need to be maybe she will, maybe she
won't talk about that at some point now that she
(01:20):
has this joy. But we are so happy for them. Congratulations.
We know that this has been in the hopes for
a while, anything.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
To have there, and so can I just say, maybe
one of the most gorgeous couples to ever come out
of Bachelor Nation, like having, you know, starting a family together.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I am so excited for them.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I think that's great.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Ye ask me too. I can't wait to text her
and see how her pregnancy has been. And I saw
her in March, and I'm just really really happy this
has happened to her and him. Of course they're gonna
be outstanding parents. Those are one of the couples that
you feel like, oh, if I had to be born
into a family like that is a family to be
born and this is gonna be a really lucky baby
(02:06):
exactly exactly. Speaking of pregnancy announcements, this one is a
little bit more shocking in my opinion. My bachelorette crush
one of my favorite bachelorettes to ever be Emily Maynard,
who has never been on the show, nor does she
do any other podcast. She kind of has stepped away
from the limelight completely. Her daughter Ricky is pregnant. She's
(02:31):
twenty years old, and she announced it yesterday on her
Instagram stories with kind of a funny thing. You explained
this better because you are a Love Island girly, I
am not so.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
First of all, I have to say, Emily Maynard and
Grandma in the same line is not something I was
anticipating seeing they neither.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Emily maynerd just had a baby. He's three now, that's insane.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
But yeah, the funny thing is is for the Love
Island fans out there. We do know that this week
was the much anticipated reunion cast member Hooda was asked
about her relationship status and she said, you know, Netflix
told me I'm not allowed to talk about it, which
was you know, jarring. We all know she's in a
(03:15):
relationship with Louis from Perfect Match, which is on Netflix,
which is why she couldn't speak about it because I
hadn't been out yet. But that's what Ricky used when
making her pregnancy announcement this week, which is pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
So we don't have any word from Emily herself. Emily
is the mom of six kids now. Jones is three
Nolah Belle four, Gatlin seven, Gibson eight, Jennings ten and
then and she shares all of those with husband Tyler Johnson,
who she married, oh, I guess about ten eleven years ago.
And Ricky, if you guys aren't familiar with you know
(03:54):
Emily's day of the Bachelor and Bachelorette. She shares Ricky
with her late fiance, say, Ricky Hendrick. He was a
race car driver, and she didn't even know she was
pregnant with Ricky until his plane went down, and she's
so and then like Ricky was like her little miracle baby,
(04:16):
realized that she had part of her fiance in her body,
so that she was a gift. And now she's giving
her the gift of being a grandmother, which she's thirty nine.
And that's just it's just wild because I really watching
I remember watching Ricky being just a little girl. I
(04:37):
guess she was like four. On the Bachelorette. They had
it film in North Carolina so she could kind of
resume life of normalcy for Ricky and now she's going
to be a mom herself. Ashley.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Not to make it really weird, but like you and
I are both not far from thirty nine, Like, can
you imagine being a grandma?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
No, I'm like so mind boggled. Well, I know it exists,
but this is like what I went to bed thinking
last night. I was like, I don't even think Emily's
forty yet. And she's going to be a grandma, Like
for it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Like her kids and her grandchild are going to be
growing up together.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, Like it's gonna be like your uncle is three
years older than you. Yeah, they're probably going to go
to school together. What oh man already. Well, Emily, I'm
sure won't be talking about this anywhere other than her
own social media whenever she decides.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
To do that.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
But I wish a wish that we could have her
on sometime. We'll see Shrek comes out of hiding. It's okay,
we respect whatever her life decision is. We love to
admire her from afar. She's adorable. Let's talk about Deanna
pappas another bachelor at Lead. She is now saying no
to alcohol. She's the best decision she's ever made. She
(05:55):
feels so much better and she actually she actually made
this headline on our new podcast, Famously Available. Ben will
be hosting that, and she is going to be dating
on that we're going to try to play matchmaker, and
she says that she's been sleeping better, she's been more
clear on herself and more in touch with herself and
(06:18):
also more in touch with her higher power. She said
that she's had a lot of loss in her life
and had to grieve on every level. I just didn't
grieve the loss of my marriage and my ex husband.
I didn't just have to grieve those things, but the
loss of his family. And she said that in those
moments she chose to drink. My affair was with alcohol,
(06:39):
and that was my piece to Carrie. I've chosen to
given up alcohol. Clearly it was unhealthy for me. I
just took a deep look at my life and where
it was going, and it wasn't headed in a direction
where I wanted it to. And if alcohol was the
one thing that I could give up, then by all
means I was willing to do it. So we appreciate
Dianna for being so open on Famously Available, and make
(06:59):
sure that if you want more on Deanna's journey to
find love, tune into that. I think it's on our feed,
right Heather, It'll be all coming up on our feed.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
It definitely is on our feed. And yeah, we have
so much great stuff coming with not only Deanna but
obviously Mercedes northup that we're also you know, doing that
podcast with so lots and lots of good dating relationship
stuff to come.
Speaker 4 (07:33):

Speaker 5 (08:00):
Welcome to Dirty Rush, The Truth about Sorority life, the good,
the bad and the Sisterhood with your hosts me Gia Judaice.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
Daisy Kent, and Jennifer Fessler. Rush the recruitment, the ritual.
The reality of Greek life has been a mystery for
those outside the sorority circles until now.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
Is it really a supportive sisterhood that's simply misunderstood or
is there something more scandalous happening on campuses across the country.
In this podcast, we pledge to peel back the layers
and spell out the truth one Greek letter at a time.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Pledges and actives, rush chairs, and ritual keepers. Some call
it the best time of their life, while others say
it's a nightmare.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
From a perfect rush to recruitment scandals, what is really
going on behind the doors of those sorority houses from
Alpha to Omega.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
We're taking you inside sorority row, including the chapter room
as we explore the fellowship in the front of mees.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Let's get dirty.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
Listen to Dirty Rush on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Speaking of relationships, Chloe Costello, who you may remember from
Grand Season being the plus size model. Everybody was rooting
for her. She had like strawberry blonde hair. Well, she
is engaged now. She posted photos on her Instagram on
Monday where she shows off her pear shaped threestone engagement ring.
(09:26):
We don't know much right now about her relationship with
the fiance. We know that she started filming Bachelor about
a year ago. We'll have to have her on to
talk about her engagement to Hutch Hershberger because either they
have known each other for a while or this is
(09:46):
a quick engagement. But either way, we are saying congratulations
to Chloe and so are a whole bunch of her
friends from Grand Season.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I have a question for you, Ashley, because obviously we're
going to get into some other en engagement news. Do
you feel like summertime I always thought associated with wedding season,
but do you associate it also with engagement season? Like
a couple of girls on our team just got engaged
within the last week. I don't know when did you
and Jery get engaged? What time of June? June?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, and it was in Paradise, So I guess it's
like warm and lush all the time there. But I
think that like when you're thinking about engagements, you kind
of want it to be a pretty warm background. You
don't want to be I don't know. In my case,
I don't want to be like bundled up.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I feel like some people do the Christmas the Christmas
engagement too, where they take.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Christmas engagement is like the other one, you know, Yeah,
so it's the Christmas gift engagement with all the family
around in that celebratory time of year, or I feel
like it's summer, but you don't like find like anybody
really getting engaged. It's like randomly in January, you know, March,
just dead trees outside. And then of course congratulations to
(10:56):
Taylor to trust Kelsey had the most notable of all
engagements this summer, the biggest engagement of this maybe all time.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah, seriously.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
We also have a marriage in Bachelor Nation. Jullian Harris
old bachelorette, not old bachelorette. Former bachelorette. Jillian Harris married
Justin Pasteaux, her fiance and partner of thirteen years. They've
been engaged for five years, but it together for thirteen years.
(11:31):
They got married in a flower farm wedding. It was
they did a church ceremony on August twenty first, and
then they did like a big ceremony attended by one
hundred and sixty seven guests at their farm a couple
days later. After eight years of planning, she said, we've
(11:53):
decided to really go for it. It was an actual
fairy tale dream come true. And I'm so happy that
we waited this long so we could get truly what
planned and dreamed of for the day. They got engaged
Christmas morning, twenty sixteen, and yeah, so that's what we
(12:14):
got for them.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
We recently had Jillian on the podcast with the OG's
and we went to this whole thing about you know,
she told us why this wedding, first of all, how
extravagant it was going to be, and also why it
took so long to get there.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Why.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Well, I want people to go listen to the episode.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Good tease, Heather.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
There's a lot there. But I will say also one
of the biggest things she told us was about what
happened with the engagement ring that she got from her
time on The Bachelorette. So everybody should definitely go back
and listen to that Gillian Harris interview because she gave
us a lot which we're also so thrilled for her.
At the wedding looked gorgeous and that flower farm is
actually on their property and her husband created that over
(12:56):
the last year to make it super super gorgeous for them,
So congrats to them.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Oh that is awesome. And our last headline, still in
dating relationship news, Rachel Recki is spurting sparking rumors that
she's dating a new man since her time on the show.
You know, of course, she's been updating her life on
social media and then there were rumors that she and
Clayton would get back together, and then there's always rumors
(13:24):
about her and Blake Moins needing to be together. People
are always shipping the two of them, and now people
are talking about her dating somebody new. She posted a
carousel of photos on Instagram and this is what got
people talking. She looks freaking fantastic, the best she's ever looked,
she really does. Wow, she looks so amazing, and she's
(13:46):
holding hands with another man.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
This is Carrington, who did make an appearance on The
Perfect Match this season that Rachel was on. So he's
from Love Island. He came back to come on the show.
So very very cute. Obviously we don't know too much
about what's happening here, but cute. Nonetheless, I'm kind of.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Because they didn't hold hands like this on the actual show, right.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
No, as far as I've gotten in the show, he
leaves before she even got onto.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
The show, and that would be very Ali Joe and Sam.
Very yes. There's also another picture of her with another
cast member on the roller coaster at the Santa Monica
Pear and his arm is around her in a very
close way. She looks very happy here too, oh, so.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
That's Carrington, the one in the car, the one in
the ride is Carrington, okay, holding hands with Let me
look at this picture. I don't know who that is. No,
I don't know who she's I'm looking at it. I
don't know who she's holding hands with, But that's Carrington
in on the roller coaster ride holding her Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
So basically she's teasing it could be one of either
of these guys. They could just be Netflix cast members,
production crew, who the hell knows. But she also could
at the same time be teasing a little romance with
one of the two of the two guys in her
latest Instagram carousel.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
They're both cute, me into it, whichever one she's she's feeling.
I also know that if anybody's shipping her and Blake
the most, it's you.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Really, I mean, I know there to her, I know, well,
you know, every time we talked to her, there's another
picture of the two of them looking chummy.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I think she did recently post a video, another Africa
video and both of them being in it.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
So no, I truly believe they're just friends now, because
like she just keeps saying, absolutely not, absolutely not, and
it's like, all right, well, if you go on a
safari and you're like riding with him with his arm
around you at sunset on like some jeep like and
you're telling me that there's nothing going on, and for real,
for real, I'm gonna believe.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
You, now, Rachel, come and clear it up once and
for all.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
No, No, it's clear, it's clear. Now, come clear up this
carousel of photos? Which one are you dating? Alrighty? Well,
thanks guys for joining us, and again thanks Heather for
coming and doing headlines with me this week.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Oh thanks Ashley. Always always wanted to do this with you,
so I'm really excited that you had me on.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Well, come fill in any time, you know it all?
Speaker 3 (16:30):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Alrighty, We'll talk to you guys next time. Until then,
I've been Ashley.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
And I've been Heather.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Woo bye.
