Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Hihart podcasts, Heem More Kiss podcast playlist and listen live
on the free iHeart app Britt. Yesterday, it was a
very big day in my relationship with my husband, Matt.
It was our eight year anniversary, but not your typical anniversary.
So we have a couple of anniversaries because when we met.
For anyone who doesn't know, I met my husband on

(00:32):
the twenty seventeen Bachelor. You know the Bachelor. Yeah, he
was the Bachelor and I was a contestant and we
met on that show, fell in love whilst he was
dating twenty four other women. Conventional So Roman, isn't it,
I know, did you only have twenty four?

Speaker 2 (00:46):
I had thirty women?

Speaker 1 (00:48):
There was thirty women on your season, which.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Makes it more impressive that I got to the end.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
That had laser shoes.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
God less choice.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
That's probably why I want to be honest. No, So
we have got quite a few anniversaries. We've got the
when we first met anniversary, except we can't really celebrate
that because he was dating twenty four other women. Then
we have when he chose me in Thailand, so that
was in May, like that's when the filming ended and
we actually decided to be together. I choose, I choose you,
and then he had to We had to keep it

(01:17):
quiet for five months. We had to keep a secret
about our relationship.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
If you have a public anniversary.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
As well, well, we used to sneak around so like
me and wigs and him wearing like weird trench coat
stuff that you were umbrella. Yes, the Channel ten made me.
I had to sneak around in outfits. The reason why
they do this just to give you a peek behind
the curtain is because they don't want, perhaps to get
photos of you. So we had to sneak around for
five months. But yesterday was eight years since our finale

(01:45):
episode played out across the country.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
If you congrats have the anniversary, yay.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
It's for me. It feels so weird to watch it
back because I think, firstly, we have so much collage
and we look so young. Secondly, we look so awkward.
It's like we barely know each other.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Well, you don't know each other, but speaking of how
uncomfortable you are to walk down memory lane, produce a
grace and I took it upon ourselves to go and
get that final moment, and we want to play it
for you all right, now, you look stunning. Thank you.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
I didn't really know what to expect, really when I
decided to come back here. I didn't know if it
would be difficult to fall in love again, and I
didn't even know if anybody would fall in love with me.
The only thing I was certain of was what kind
of woman I wanted to meet. Somebody who was really intelligent,

(02:44):
somebody who was confident and ambitious. They wouldn't be afraid
to chase their dreams, and somebody who was fearless enough
to go on any adventure, even if it meant trying
to fall in love with a guy who was dating
twenty one women.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
It's okay, whatever it is, it's okay.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
I replayed this moment in my mind many times.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
And that's really hard.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
We were so close.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Get the right words out. Okay, God, just God, if
you're going to do it, do it.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
At this point, I every single.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Day, Laura, I love you.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Oh hang on, no context. I had been told by
producers that day that he was not going to choose me,
so I walked into the finale.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Didn't they actually tell you that, because they usually just
let you believe it with things that they say, but
they never usually say it.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
So they said, today is not going to go the
way that you expect it to, and just prepare to
accept it with dignity and grace. There is no other
way to interpret that. I went in there thinking it
was going to be a fun, silly experience, and then
I did actually have feelings for him, and I felt
so stupid. I was like, I've just humiliated myself on
national TV for this guy who's now gonna run away

(04:10):
with the other girl. Anyway, So I want you talking
to me about humiliations.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Just to know your audience, Laura, I was the first
person to win the Bachelor, not win.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Any at least he didn't choose anyone on your Bachelors season,
which I feel like it is better. I think that's fine,
solidarity in numbers.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
I think it's fine. She's about to have a third
baby to the Bachelor.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
So I walked up there really expecting him to say
no because I had been led. And you know why,
because they get a really great reaction. If you walked
up there all cocky and confident, you'd be like, yeah,
I know you're gonna say yes, and I'm so happy. Yeah,
And it just wouldn't have that dramatic effect.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
So is that why you were whispering for the dramatic effects?
Your whole thing was like, just okay, that's my stuff.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
No, we were in a very close proximity to each other.
We were talking nor anyway, and he really dragged it
out by so many deep sigh breasthts that I thought
he was delivering a shit sandwich. And then when he
said it, I didn't know, like I really had this
just huge emotion whiplash. Anyway, eight years ago today, and
then we watched that on TV and we thought it
was going to be the best moment of our lives.

(05:16):
But then the online trolling came, and so we sat
there and cried and we went to sleep. It was
a miserable night.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Okay, hang on, we're happy now, guys, coming third Kid
is good. I want to give you a pick me
up that moment. You might not know, but that changed
people's lives, Laura.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
And he changed my life. Oh, I'll be honest.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
The whisper. Let me just repeat it. You're that's okay, what.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Happens, It's okay.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Just if you're going to do it, do it now.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
No, that particular moment because we have someone that actually
wrote in Kate Miller Bespoke, who said, quote, whatever it is,
it's okay, and then she said, this moment changed my life.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Laura.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
I'm not even joking. I loved the way you said
that to him. I understood it in that second that
this was real and not just TV, and then you
just wanted him to be happy and fulfilled even if
it wasn't with you. You helped me understand true love
and it has changed the way that I love, so
that that whisper has changed people's lives.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Okay, that is very very sweet. I don't feel like
I did anything groundbreaking. I think I was just trying
to hold it together on national TV and not make
a total titter myself.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Anyway, we're happy for you. Happy eight years. It's kind
of nice reality TV.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Eight years, locked and loaded and about to go into
having baby number three. It really did change my life,
Cape Bespoke, It certainly did.
