‘Bachlorette’ Kaitlyn Bristowe Regrets Nothing, Dishes on Snapchat Pic and Engagement Rumors
“The Bachlorette” episode that was teased all season aired last night, in which Kaitlyn Bristowe confessed to sleeping with one of her suitors, Nick Viall, after a steamy, one-on-one date.
Kaitlyn joined “Extra's” Renée Bargh in New York, where she made it clear she does not regret taking her romance with Viall to the next level. “I maybe regret the timing, not the action. I just don't like upsetting other relationships.”
Bristowe defended her decision to bring Nick on the show after he was dumped by former “Bachelorette” Andi Dorfman. “It's just who I am, I go with what I am actually feeling instead of what other people might think of what I'm doing.”
She continued, “To me it was like, do I maybe see this guy as a future and forever, if there's a sliver of me that thinks that then I should probably pursue it… I have to do what I think is right for me.”
Kaitlyn also caught some heat for making out with a lot of the guys in her quest to find a husband on the hit ABC reality show, something she also doesn't regret. “How do you establish chemistry with someone if you don't kiss them?”
The big question… did her chemistry with Shawn Booth lead to her giving him the final rose?
Last week, Kaitlyn posted and then deleted a Snapchat photo, which showed her in bed with Booth. Kaitlyn played coy when Renée, who asked her if the pic revealed she chose Shawn in the final episode. Kaitlyn laughed, “No, I was with Ryan Gosling?” Kaitlyn went on, “I can't talk about it.”
Kaitlyn is also not talking about whether she is engaged, saying only, “I am happy.”
“The Bachelorette” airs Mondays on ABC.
