Survivor 46 Survivor featured the merged Nuinui tribe voting out Hunter McKnight with a hidden Immunity Idol in his pocket with a dramatic re-vote at Tribal Council during the Season 46 episode that aired Wednesday night on CBS.

Hunter, a 28-year-old science teacher from French Camp, MS, was voted out of Survivor's 46th season during a 6-1 re-vote at Tribal Council on Night 17 of the game instead of Q Burdette, a 29-year-old real estate agent from Senatobia, MS who currently resides in Memphis, TN.

The first vote had resulted in a tie between Hunter and Q, with one rogue vote going to Ben Katzman, a 31-year-old musician from Miami, FL.

"There it is in all of its splendor. I had convinced myself that I was playing my idol going into this, but I was lulled into my own doom, is what happened, and it's so irritating. I loved the experience, but it's now how I wanted it to end," Hunter said in his final words.

The Survivor broadcast began after Tribal Council on Night 16 at Nuinui.

The tribe was shocked Q had blown up Tribal Council and volunteered for people to vote him out.

Kenzie Petty, a 29-year-old salon owner from Gibraltar, MI who currently resides in Charlotte, NC, said Q had caused chaos for "absolutely no reason," and everyone was feeling confused.

"If you want to leave, there's the door, baby! Walk out! Don't make us do it for you," Kenzie vented in a Survivor confessional. "I'm pissed!"

Q admitted he was trying to switch all the votes at the last minute and so he felt guilty for having screwed up everyone's game. Q said he was ready to take the heat and fall on his own sword but he was clearly "too hard to kill" at the moment.

Tiffany Nicole Ervin, a 33-year-old artist from Franklin Township, NJ who currently resides in Elizabeth, NJ, was also angry at Q for "spilling the beans" about her hidden Immunity Idol. She was upset that everybody knew about it, and she accused Q of being "stupid" and "dumb."

Tiffany confronted Q about his Survivor betrayal, and he explained how she had gone against the six by throwing out Maria's name.

"I'm going to have to work harder than I ever have in this game to get back in charge," Q concluded. "And if I do, it will be a miracle."

Liz Wilcox, a 35-year-old marketing strategist from Luther, MI who currently resides in Orlando, FL, was also "super pissed" because Q's actions had overshadowed her big move. Liz didn't want to get lost in the game, and she vented about how Q had stolen her thunder at Tribal Council.

"I wanted people to say, 'Liz is a fighter, and she doesn't need to be led,'" Liz cried in a Survivor confessional. "So when I get the chance, I am gunning for Q."

On Day 17, Ben told Charlie Davis, a 26-year-old law student from Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA who currently resides in Boston, MA, that taking Q out now would be an insignificant move because Q had already destroyed his own game.

Ben was annoyed that Q had put himself on a higher moral ground than the other castaways, and he called Q's act at Tribal Council "a poser move."

Venus Vafa, a 24-year-old data analyst from Hill, Ontario who currently resides in Toronto, Ontario, however, believed Tribal Council had worked out perfectly because she got rid of Tevin Davis and Hunter was now "the village idiot" of Survivor since he was on the wrong side of the vote.

Venus boasted about how the big men in her tribe were no longer running things and "karma is a b-tch."

Hunter complained about how he had wrongly trusted Q, Liz and Tevin. He considered them all "done" in his book because he no longer wanted to work with any of them.

Hunter predicted that he was going to have a target on his back given he was a challenge threat, but he had a Survivor idol in his pocket.

Tree Mail then arrived, informing the castaways to divide themselves into three teams of three people for the upcoming challenge.

Maria, Charlie and Hunter teamed up as one group, as did Tiffany, Kenzie and Ben.

Venus, Q and Liz ended up on a Survivor team together as the misfits and the underdogs, essentially.

RELATED LINK: 'BIG BROTHER' SHOWMANCES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHICH COUPLES HAVE SPLIT UP?? (PHOTOS)

Q planned to go after Hunter next, and he admitted it was a mistake to nearly quit the game. He also claimed it was his tribe's mistake for not voting him out when they had the chance.

Q started playing the game hard again, and he asked Charlie to throw the challenge so that they could take a shot at Hunter. That request did "not jive" with Charlie, who insisted he'd never throw a challenge on Survivor.

Charlie and Maria also agreed that they weren't opposed to working with Hunter going forward on Survivor. Maria considered Tiffany to be the biggest threat, and she was well aware that Tiffany had thrown her name out in the past.

Later that day, the Nuinui tribe met Survivor host Jeff Probst for the next challenge.

Jeff could tell that everyone was casual about their teams and kind of nonchalant, and Charlie explained how everyone was probably afraid to point out their allies after such a muddy and confusing Tribal Council.

Tiffany, on the other hand, had a different take. Tiffany thought her tribemates just wanted to distance themselves from chaotic energy and play it cool.

Each team was instructed to, one at a time, cross a balance beam and grab a pair of handles, which he or she would use to transport a buoy across a second balance beam. Once everybody was across, they'd work together to dig up three ropes.

The first two groups to finish would move on to the next round of obstacles, while the third-place team would be out.

For the second stage of competition, the ropes would be used to build a rope bridge. Once everybody built the bridge, one player in each group would be responsible for landing one ball on a small ring.

The first group to finish would move on to the final round and ultimately compete against each other. The players must balance with their feet on a narrow perch and their hands behind their head, holding onto a handle. If at any point a person dropped a hand or a foot, he or she would be out.

The person to win immunity would be guaranteed a spot in the Final 8. The next person voted out would become the tenth member voted out and the third member of Survivor's jury.

Round 2 featured Venus, Q and Liz playing against Hunter, Charlie and Maria.

In the final round, Hunter, Charlie and Maria faced off against each other for immunity. Maria dropped out first, and so it was another Survivor showdown between Charlie and Hunter.

Charlie was hoping for a win this time considering Hunter had defeated him in an Immunity Challenge before.

After more than 10 minutes, Hunter was clearly shaking and struggling, but Charlie -- with shaking feet -- just flashed a calm smile at his opponent. Hunter then dropped, and Charlie won Individual Immunity.

Charlie told the Survivor cameras he was "so proud" of himself, and he anticipated everyone was going to play the game hard going forward.

Venus was happy both Q and Hunter were voting options that night, and Tiffany announced how she wanted Q gone.

Q tried to do some damage control in order to get control back, but neither Tiffany or Kenzie wanted to work with him.

RELATED LINK: 'THE AMAZING RACE' COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHO HAS SPLIT? WHERE ARE THEY NOW? (PHOTOS)

Venus pitched the idea of doing a Survivor blindside since everyone was distracted by Q and Hunter. Kenzie also liked the idea of taking a risk and making a big move.

Kenzie spoke to Maria, Charlie and Hunter about possibly blindsiding Tiffany in order to flush her idol. Kenzie and Tiffany had been tight in the game, but Kenzie didn't want to just sit back and eat popcorn while the game unfolded around her.

Hunter loved this Survivor plan because he thought he was going to be "dead in the water." A Tiffany blindside sounded great to him, especially because he didn't want to play his idol that night.

Maria was gunning hard for Tiffany as well, but she wasn't thrilled about the move being Kenzie's idea. Maria was also concerned about Tiffany possibly playing her idol, and so Charlie tried to put her at ease and make her feel safe.

Tiffany told Charlie that she was going to play her idol that night because she didn't want it anymore. Tiffany felt like this idol had made her a new threat, and so she wanted it gone.

"But when an idol is played, it goes back to the beach, baby! And I do not want Hunter or Q to get it," Tiffany told the Survivor cameras.

The game flipped on its head, and Charlie said everyone needed to figure out how to proceed.

Ben spoke to Maria and Charlie about changing the vote onto Hunter.

"You only get the T-Rex on Jurassic Park back into its cage one time, and we've already done that. I'm not trying to have a Jurassic Park sequel right now; I'm trying to get him out. So the playing field is even!" Ben told the Survivor cameras.

Ben got Kenzie onboard with the vote, but Kenzie thought it was going to be a boring night. Kenzie would've liked to get rid of Q, but she said she was fine with the Hunter vote since he had been dominating in challenges.

Hunter then got stressed out. He told Kenzie that he trusted her, but he was spiraling.

"I am 100 percent playing my idol. Tonight is about surviving. The idol has to be used... to gain potential allies," Hunter said in a Survivor confessional.

Hunter then told Q to vote for Ben. He felt like people were lying to him -- including Charlie, Maria and Ben.

Believing that people were going to vote for him, Hunter asked Liz and Venus to vote for Ben. Charlie revealed that he had an idol and was going to play it.

Liz planned to stick with the Q vote, and so did Kenzie, who told Ben to also vote for Q since Hunter had an idol. Tiffany, however, thought Hunter was bluffing.

Kenzie called pre-Tribal discussions "madness," because everyone was turning on each other. There was no clear-cut plan going into Tribal Council that night, and she predicted it was going to be a "wild" night.

At Tribal Council on Night 17, Jeff sat on a cushion and munched on popcorn while he watched conversations unfold.

Tiffany accused Q of trying to sink her game at the last Tribal, and Q flashed a big smile because he said he was "over the situation." Q claimed that Tiffany had sunk her own game by throwing out names in their former alliance.

Tiffany then announced how Q had been pushing Venus' name as well as Hunter's name that very morning. Hunter appeared shocked and looked to Kenzie for answers.

"He's nuts," Liz whispered to Hunter, before Kenzie assured Hunter that she'd be voting for Q that night.

RELATED LINK: 'SURVIVOR' COUPLES NOW: WHO'S STILL TOGETHER?! WHICH SHOWMANCES SPLIT UP? (PHOTOS) 

Hunter admitted "the crazy" was happening all over again and he was vulnerable this time.

Venus then whispered to Hunter that she was going to vote for Q as well. Tiffany also told Hunter that Q was going home that night, and then Charlie whispered Q's name to Liz.

"I think it's very apparent that a lot of us are annoyed... and frustrated. I think that's kind of where everyone is at tonight," Kenzie told the Survivor host. "We're about to get breakup bangs right now. That's what's happening."

Hunter admitted to his tribemates he was "terrified," fearing it was all a ruse to flush his idol. People, however, kept confirming that Q was the vote that night.

It then became time to vote, and when Jeff asked if anyone wanted to play an idol or advantage, no one spoke up.

Jeff therefore read the votes in the following order: Q, Hunter, Q, Hunter, Q, Hunter, Q, Hunter, and Ben.

It was a 4-4 tie vote with a rogue vote for Ben, and so Jeff announced how there was going to be a re-vote. The tribe could only vote for Hunter or Q, and both of those men were not allowed to vote.

Both Kenzie and Liz told Hunter in that moment that they had voted for Q.

On the re-vote, Jeff read the votes as follows: Q, Hunter, Hunter, Hunter, and Hunter.

"Good job, guys," Hunter told the group.

The tribe told Hunter that he was the best and they loved him, but he admitted that was "hard to take" after they had all written his name down and betrayed him like that.

The episode's closing credits later showed that Hunter, Liz, Venus and Kenzie had voted for Q.

Tiffany, Maria, Charlie, and Ben had voted for Hunter. Q had cast the rogue vote for Ben.

People News : 'Married at First Sight' couple Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner reveal gender of second twin baby
Married at First Sight Married at First Sight couple Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner, who revealed the gender of one of their twin babies earlier this month, have announced the sex of the second twin.

Jamie and Doug, who got married on Season 1 of Married at First Sight, uploaded a video to YouTube on Monday, April 22, announcing that they're expecting twin boys.

RELATED: 'MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT' COUPLES NOW: WHERE ARE THEY NOW? WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHO HAS RE-MARRIED? (PHOTOS)

In the video that was filmed on April 20, Jamie, Doug, and their two children -- Henley "Gracie" Grace, 6, and Hendrix Douglas, who turns 4 next month -- were dressed up like bumble bees as the kids attempted to smash a pinata that was shaped like a beehive and read, "What Will It Bee?"

The pinata was difficult to break open, and so Doug finally ripped it apart with his hands and blue prizes fell out for the kids.

"Whoa are you kidding?!" Doug shouts.

"It's a boy?!" Jamie  yells. "It's a boy, guys! Twin boys! I can't believe it!"

Doug then jokes, "It's about time the males have shifted [the numbers] in this house]... [Jamie has] 20 fingers, 20 toes and two penises inside of [her]."

For the first sex reveal earlier this month, Jamie and Doug shot confetti cannons into the air revealing blue confetti. The theme of their first gender-reveal party was "He or She, What Will Babies Bee?"

Jamie gushed to People, "We've been celebrating every milestone of this pregnancy! It's been so fun documenting every moment on our YouTube page, 'Hanging with the Hehners,' knowing one day we can watch it back and relive the pure joy we've been feeling."

"This pregnancy has been the biggest blessing from God," she noted, "and we will forever be thankful!"

Jamie gushed of her twin sons on the way, "I can't believe we have two little boys joining our family! Their big sister was hoping for a girl but their big brother guessed two boys!"

"Our whole family is so excited to meet them this fall! Now we just need to figure out what to name them," she concluded.

Jamie and Doug announced that Jamie is pregnant with twins on March 4 via YouTube, shortly after the pair had discovered Jamie is going to have another baby.

"This is the biggest news I think I've ever had in my entire life," Jamie said in the video, before her husband added, "It's wild!"

Jamie gushed, "It's beyond my wildest imagination. I can't even fathom that this is happening to us. It's not something I thought, at all, would be in my future."

Doug also appeared shocked by the news and very excited to become a family of five.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2014, are celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary this month.

On Married at First Sight's first season, Jamie wasn't initially attracted to her husband, and so she had doubts the relationship was going to last. However, she became attracted to his personality and his willingness to support her and fight for their marriage.

As a result, Jamie and Doug opted to stay together on "Decision Day," and they went on to start a family.

Jamie and Doug then welcomed Gracie in August 2017 followed by Hendrix in May 2020.

The couple revealed in early 2021 they had begun trying for a third child, but then Jamie shared in August of that year they had decided to put Baby No. 3 "on the back burner" while they worked on strengthening their marriage.

The spouses have experienced their fair share of heartbreak and adversity, which they've overcome together.

Jamie and Doug lost their first-born child Johnathan in 2016. Jamie had delivered her son at 17 weeks when she was only four months pregnant.

Following the tragedy, Jamie went on to suffer a chemical pregnancy and another miscarriage.

In addition to starring on Married at First Sight's first season, Jamie and Doug co-starred on Married at First Sight: The First Year, a spinoff which continued to follow the two MAFS Season 1 couples who opted to remain together during their first year of marriage.

Jamie and Doug also later starred on Married at First Sight: Jamie and Doug Plus One, their own spinoff which premiered in December 2017 but didn't last.

Jamie then served as the host of Married at First Sight: Unfiltered, the show's post-episode discussion show that also airs on Lifetime, but she has since been replaced by Keshia Knight Pulliam.

Jamie and Doug also appeared on Season 3 of Married at First Sight: Couples Cam on Lifetime.

Featured Galleries : 'Survivor' Showmance Couples Now: Where are they now? Who is still together? Which showmances split up? (PHOTOS)
Survivor 46 Survivor's 46th season&nbsp;is currently airing on CBS with a cast of new castaways&nbsp;-- but what about Survivor's former showmance couples? Which Survivor showmances are still together, and who&nbsp;split up?

Survivor premiered on CBS in 2000, and with&nbsp;single, attractive&nbsp;castaways&nbsp;competing on each season, it's not surprising love has sometimes blossomed on the reality competition!

"Power couples" develop&nbsp;on the show whether they be intimate or friendly connections. A power couple is almost always viewed as a huge threat in the game, but sometimes the castaways don't care because they're desperate for a little companionship.

Not only have Survivor viewers watched castaways -- who haven't showered or brushed their teeth in weeks -- kiss and cuddle on-screen, but they've also witnessed many showmances develop into real, sincere relationships outside of the show.

In several cases, these romances even turned into marriages --&nbsp;starting with&nbsp;Rob Mariano and Amber Brkich, who met in 2004 on Survivor: All-Stars and returned to compete on Survivor: Winners at War sixteen years later!

In other cases, however, the dynamic was mere lust on a deserted island.

"We were caught on-camera many times. I'm sure there was a lot of footage that would not be suitable for home viewers, if you know what I mean! It was jungle love, man," Ozzy Lusth told Entertainment Weekly when asked about his hot and steamy showmance with Amanda Kimmel on Survivor's 16th season.

Since it's hard to keep track of all the Survivor lovebirds, Reality TV World has taken a look back at the&nbsp;hottest&nbsp;and most memorable showmances, including those involving additional Survivor: Winners at War returnees Parvati Shallow and Ethan Zohn.

<H2>Which happened to Survivor's showmance couples? Who is still together and which Survivor couples have split up?</H2>And what about the off-screen Survivor couples that happened once the castaways returned home and met up in the real world??

Charity Lawson explains why Jenn Tran may "struggle" on 'The Bachelorette'
The Bachelorette 21 Charity Lawson has explained why she believes Jenn Tran may "struggle" filming The Bachelorette's 21st season.

Jenn was announced as the new Bachelorette live on The Bachelor: After the Final Rose, which aired on March 25, and she began filming her season on March 28 at Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Santa Susana, CA.

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' FRANCHISE COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER?? (PHOTOS)

Given Charity had starred on The Bachelorette's 20th season and passed the torch to Jenn, she predicted how Jenn is going to handle the high-pressure dating&nbsp;environment during the April 23 episode of the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast.

"Jenn is incredible. Watching her on Joey's season, she definitely, I feel like, this will test her in different ways," Charity told the podcast's co-hosts, Bachelor in Paradise spouses Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt, during her joint interview with fiance Dotun Olubeko.

"I'm curious to see how that's going to play out, because I always say that even the most sound people coming on this show, like, struggle. And I can tell -- I don't want to blame her age, but [given she's 25-years-old] I can just see certain things."

Charity continued, "I'm like, 'Oh, these are qualities I had, and I've grown from that and I've learned from that.' So it will definitely be interesting to see it play out."

Charity, however, said she's "really excited" for Jenn to have her own journey to find love.

"I know that finding her person is something she really, really wants," Charity said. "So I hope she obviously takes it serious."

Charity was actually the person who had officially announced Jenn as the next Bachelorette on After the Final Rose.

"It was an honor... I was really excited to do it, and it was fun," Charity shared. "The reactions were definitely mixed, but it's okay."

When asked to describe the tone in the room when Jenn was announced, Charity recalled, "I think initially everyone was like, you know, [surprised]. I think [the consensus] was, 'Oh it's going to be [Maria Georgas],' and so I think people were waiting [to hear her name]."

Charity elaborated, "I think everyone's brain was kind of like, 'Wait a second, okay that's not the name we just heard. It's Jenn -- yay!' So the applause kind of came a little bit after."

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELORETTE' COUPLES NOW: WHOM DID 'THE BACHELORETTE' STARS AND THEIR BACHELOR PICKS ULTIMATELY END UP WITH?! (PHOTOS)&nbsp;&nbsp;

But Charity said once fans got over the initial shock, the rest of the night was "a celebration."

"We were all super thrilled and supporting her and wishing her much success -- before she got snatched away [to film]," Charity insisted.

Charity is happily engaged to Dotun, whom she picked as her The Bachelorette winner over runner-up Joey Graziadei, who went on to star on The Bachelor's 28th season.

Charity and Dotun moved to New York City after Charity completed her stint on Dancing with the Stars in Los Angeles, CA, and they work through any issues they have in therapy.

Charity and Dotun&nbsp;want to have two weddings -- one in California in Fall 2025 and a second ceremony in Lagos, Nigeria for Dotun's family -- although they're taking their time with the planning process.

Jenn, meanwhile, is "breaking the mold" as The Bachelor franchise's first-ever Asian Bachelorette.

The Bachelorette's 21st season is going to premiere this summer, and ABC has already announced a list of 28 potential bachelors. Her official cast will be unveiled at a later date.

As for what fans can expect to see this season, Jenn teased that she's going to bring "a fiery energy" and a lot of flirtation to the set.

Jenn also said she plans to be unapologetically herself on-camera, showing all "the good, the bad, the chaotic and psychotic."

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' COUPLES NOW: WHO DID 'THE BACHELOR' STARS AND THEIR BACHELORETTE PICKS ACTUALLY END UP MARRYING? (PHOTOS)

Jenn explained how she'd love to find a man who is authentically himself and will "ground" her and put her in her place sometimes. However, Jenn noted that playful, cheeky banter with a man is very important in her relationships.

"You're not going to get 'Polished Jenn.' You're not going to get '[Meek] and Perfect Jenn.' You're going to get 'Crazy Jenn,' and that's the beautiful part of it," Jenn boasted of her approach to dating on The Bachelorette.

Jenn said she's excited for fans to get to know her as well as her beloved family.

Jenn may end up with the man of her dreams after having her heart broken on Joey's season of The Bachelor.

Jenn was smitten with Joey on The Bachelor's 28th season, but he eliminated her right before hometown dates. Joey eliminated both Jenn and Kelsey Toussant when determining his Final 4 bachelorettes: Kelsey Anderson, Daisy Kent, Maria Georgas, and Rachel Nance.

Joey went on to propose marriage to Kelsey during his The Bachelor finale, and the couple is still together. Joey and Kelsey are planning to move to New York together in July or August, once Kelsey's lease in New Orleans is up.

When asked how long it took her to heal and move on from her relationship with Joey, Jenn recently told Us Weekly, "You can't really put a time on processing a breakup."

"I think [you take it] just little by little," shared the Physician Assistant currently living in Miami, "and one day you just stop thinking about it. It just took a lot of my friends bringing me ice cream and a lot of that."

Peter Weber confronts Chris Harrison about 'The Bachelor' moment that "completely destroyed" him
The Bachelor 24 Peter Weber has confronted Chris Harrison about a moment that "completely destroyed" him while filming The Bachelor's 24th season and whether producers intentionally hurt him to make drama.

"You want to talk about one of the hardest parts I went through [on the show]? It was with you," Peter, 32, told Chris, 52, during the Monday, April 22 episode of "The Most Dramatic Podcast Ever" podcast.

"Can I ask you a question? Are you allowed to answer stuff?" Peter continued.

"Hell yeah, of course," Chris proudly replied given the former The Bachelor host had walked away from his job in June 2021 following his racism controversy with Rachael Kirkconnell during Matt James' The Bachelor season.

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' FRANCHISE COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER?? (PHOTOS)

Peter shared how he's "always wondered" something after taping The Bachelor's 24th season, which filmed in late 2019 but aired in early 2020.

"The hardest part I ever went through, where I was just ready to concede, like, I have nothing left to give and strength is gone? [It] was the finale day, when we're out at that really beautiful setup for the engagement... We drove for, like, an hour in the middle of nowhere [in Australia] to get there," Peter recalled.

By this time, Madison Prewett had quit the show and Peter was planning to propose marriage to his The Bachelor winner, Hannah Ann Sluss.

Chris noted how Peter was "a mess" at the start of the Final Rose Ceremony, and Peter confirmed, "Yeah, well, what you told me completely destroyed me."

Peter acknowledged how it made good TV and producers even used this clip to open up the season.

"I had been going through so much up to that point, and then you told me, 'Hannah Ann now doesn't know if she even wants to show up. [She] doesn't know if she wants to come,'" Peter revealed.

"At that point, and I can be so brutally honest now, there was pressure and I probably should not have proposed to Hannah Ann, like, I can honestly say that. I got all caught up in it, for sure."

Peter went on to share, "But when you were saying that to me, in my mind, I'm battling so much here of, 'Is this the right thing to do? I feel so much pressure, I'm stressed out of my mind, I'm exhausted, you know, what am I supposed to do here?'"

"And then you told me that line about how she doesn't even know if she wants to come now at this point, and that's I think when I left."

Peter admitted he "almost passed out" from that warning.

"You guys had to take me to one of the houses there to just lay in the bed because it was so hot outside as well," Peter said.

Peter therefore asked if producers had told Chris to do that or if Hannah Ann actually told him that she was contemplating being a no-show at the Final Rose Ceremony.

"No. 1, she did not tell me. I did not talk to her. A producer would never allow me to talk to her," Chris confirmed.

"One of the executive producers -- there's like three or four of them -- [told me]. What would've happened then is I would've come into town, they would've told me probably day of, when I got there, 'This is what's happened. You need to go out there and tell Peter that this is what she said,'" Chris explained.

"Then... I would follow my heart and just try to help in any way that I could. So when I told you... it was, like, 110 degrees... and you were starting to get faint."

Chris reiterated how he had his "marching orders" and told Peter what producers had told him to say.

"Honestly, [I did not know] if it was true or false. I trusted them to tell me the truth," Chris said.

Peter recalled how Hannah Ann did, in fact, show up, and so he's always questioned whether that warning was real or made up.

"That would've hurt if that was done just for TV at that point. I would hope they wouldn't have done that to me in that moment," Peter explained. "That was the hardest part of the entire thing for me."

Chris agreed it was "a gut-wrenching day."

When asked if Peter ever confronted Hannah Ann about her mindset prior to the Final Rose Ceremony, Peter admitted there was "no footage" about it and he "briefly" touched upon it in conversation with his now ex-fiancee.

"I don't think I ever really brought it up to her again after that because I just kind of put it behind me," Peter explained.

"I think I vaguely asked and she was like, 'No, they had me in one of the houses for a couple hours.' She didn't get into detail, and that's on me. I don't know actually why I didn't dive into that more with her, but I was always curious."

Chris said he always tried to do right by the show's leads and not cross a moral boundary.

"There were times they'd try to push me too far or want me to do something inappropriate," Chris acknowledged.

"If I felt like it was real and honest, even if it was tough, I would be okay with it. But if it crossed that ethical line... I'd be like, 'No, I'm not going to say that on live TV. I don't think that's fair.'"

Chris recalled producers wanting him to be "harder and tougher" on Peter's mother Barbara Weber, for example, during the live After the Final Rose special.

"Ironically, the term they used was 'landing the plane,'" Chris told the commercial pilot. "You want to push the envelope as far as you possibly can but still land the plane... You want the turbulence and you want a rocky road, but you also want to land."

Not long after getting engaged to Hannah Ann in Australia, Peter apparently realized he still had feelings for Madison and couldn't give his fiancee his whole heart.

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' COUPLES NOW: WHO DID 'THE BACHELOR' STARS AND THEIR BACHELORETTE PICKS ACTUALLY END UP MARRYING? (PHOTOS)

Peter therefore broke things off with Hannah Ann and devastated her, only to ask Madison for another shot at dating. (Peter and Madison, however, called it quits only two days after The Bachelor: After the Final Rose aired in March 2020 on ABC, and she is now married to Grant Troutt, the son of Texas billionaire Kenny Troutt).

Hannah Ann previously said on the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast that Peter had asked for her blessing -- when they were still engaged -- to reach out to Season 15 The Bachelorette star Hannah Brown because he "needed closure" in early January 2020.

"I should have really picked up on the first red flag that you gave to me, was when you wanted to reach out to Hannah Brown to find closure with her," Hannah Ann told Peter on The Bachelor finale in March 2020.

"So really, looking back at it, our engagement involved three women. Me, you still being in love with Madison and proposing to me and you needing closure with Hannah Brown. That's three women involved in our engagement that I was completely blindsided to... Words of advice, if you want to be with a woman, you need to become a real man."

"Alabama Hannah" later revealed she and Peter had slept together while The Bachelor's 24th season was airing in February 2020.

The Dancing with the Stars winner and Peter had reunited at Bachelor in Paradise couple Dylan Barbour and Hannah Godwin's engagement party before having sex at his parents' house in Los Angeles, CA, that evening.

Hannah wrote in her memoir, God Bless This Mess -- which was released in November 2021 -- that the sexual encounter "just sucked" and it was "a poor decision" on her part.

Hannah Ann took to TikTok after the news surfaced and captioned a video, "Always trust your instincts ladies."

In the video, Hannah Ann was lip-syncing and mouthed, "That was embarrassing. I really hope you're embarrassed. Wow."

Words then flashed across the footage that read, "When the tea officially spills..."

Hannah Ann didn't name Peter or the former beauty queen directly, but she confirmed whom her post was intended for in the comments to her followers.

"Savage ain't a bad thing every once in a while," Hannah Ann wrote to one TikToker who praised her video, according to Us Weekly.

Another follower wrote, "God did you a favor Hannah," to which the model and Tennessee native replied, "There Is a God."

After Peter and Hannah Ann's breakup, Hannah Ann moved to Los Angeles and eventually went public with her romance with NFL player Jake Funk in February 2022. The pair got engaged in January 2023.

For Peter's part, he began dating Kelley Flanagan during the start of the coronavirus pandemic in early 2020. They had a pretty tumultuous romance that&nbsp;turned&nbsp;out to be an&nbsp;on-again&nbsp;and off-again romance.

During Peter and Kelley's second attempt to be an item, they attempted to date privately until their final split in Spring 2023.

Peter has been the subject of dating rumors lately, but he confirmed on the "Off the Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe" podcast earlier this month that he's still "very single and ready to mingle."

Featured Galleries : 'Married at First Sight' Couples Now: Where are they now? Who's still together? Who has divorced or remarried? (PHOTOS)
Married at First Sight Married at First Sight's couples have encountered both success and failure in their arranged marriages&nbsp;over the years -- so which Married at First Sight couples are still together and married, and which MAFS couples have broken up and re-married? And where are they now?

Sixty-four couples appeared on the first sixteen seasons of Married at First Sight, including the five MAFS couples that appeared on Season 16.

Based on a Danish reality show called Gift Ved Forste Blik, Married at First Sight's first season launched on FYI, Lifetime's&nbsp;sister network, in 2014 and became such a huge hit for the smaller network that Lifetime snatched the series for itself beginning with Season 5.

In fact, Married at First Sight has become so popular that the series has even spawned numerous spinoffs over the years --&nbsp;including Married at First Sight: The First Year, Married at First Sight: Second Chances, Married at First Sight: Honeymoon Island, Married at First Sight: Happily Ever After, Married at First Sight: Couples Couch, Married at First Sight: Couples Cam, and Married at First Sight: Unmatchables.

Married at First Sight's first season debuted in July 2014 and&nbsp;featured only three couples: Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner, Cortney Hendrix and Jason Carrion, and Monet Bell and Vaughn Copeland. However, it concluded with two of the three Married at First Sight couples deciding to stay together at the end of the arranged marriage experiment, setting a pretty high bar for future Married at First Sight seasons.

Married at First Sight's second season then premiered more than a year later in October 2015 and continued with the same concept of having relationship experts match complete strangers who have agreed to get married when they met for the first time at their wedding ceremony.

Afterward, the Married at First Sight couples typically enjoy their first night together in a hotel -- with some couples deciding to consummate their marriage immediately -- and then embark on a honeymoon, move in together, and simply attempt to deal with the struggles of daily life as husband and wife as TV cameras document it all.

Then, after four to eight weeks (eight weeks, in the case of Married at First Sight's most recent seasons), the extreme marriage experiment ends and each couple must decide whether they'd like to stay married or get a divorce on "Decision Day."

While many Married at First Sight couples have decided to stay together and continue their new married life on "Decision Day," the real world seems to hit them hard after filming ends, resulting in the couple splitting up only a few months later.

The splits prompt the obvious question of whether the Married at First Sight couples saw a different side of their spouses after the cameras left, or did the romances just naturally fizzle out over time?

But some Married at First Sight couples are still together to this day and are extremely happy. Jamie and Doug from Season 1, for example, welcomed their first child together in 2017, a baby girl named Henley, and their second child, a baby boy named Hendrix, in 2020.

Several other Married at First Sight couples have also had children -- including Ashley Petta and Anthony D'Amico, Shawniece Jackson and Jephte Pierre, Danielle Bergman and Bobby Dodd, Deonna McNeill and Greg Okotie, and Jessica Studer and Austin Hurd!

However, there are also some&nbsp;Married at First Sight couples that have ended badly. Jessica Castro from Season 2, for instance, accused her ex-husband Ryan De Nino of alleged death threats, and she went on to file a restraining order and lawsuit against him.

Some Married at First Sight couples have also never even made it to "Decision Day" and ended their marriage prematurely, including Season 4 couple Heather Seidel and Derek Schwartz, and Season 6 couple Molly Duff and Jonathan Francetic.

Are the remaining Married at First Sight couples still lovers, or have they now "just friends" or even enemies? What about other early season couples like Jaclyn Methuen and Ryan Ranellone, Vanessa Nelson and Tres Russell, Sonia Granados and Nick Pendergrast, and Lillian Vilchez and Tom Wilson?

And how about more recent Married at First Sight couples like&nbsp;Jaclyn Schwartzberg and Ryan Buckley, Dave Flaherty and Amber Martorana, and Tristan Thompson and Mia Bally, Keith Dewar and Kristine Killingsworth, AJ Vollmoeller and Stephanie Sersen, Iris Caldwell&nbsp;and Keith Manley, and Elizabeth Bice and Jamie Thompson, Amber Bowles and Matthew Gwynne?&nbsp;

Casting News : 'The Bachelor' alum Daisy Kent reveals if she wants to go 'Dancing with the Stars'
Dancing with the Stars 32 The Bachelor alum Daisy Kent has revealed if she'd be interested in competing on Dancing with the Stars' upcoming 33rd season.

When asked what Daisy wants to do next in her life after finishing in second place on Joey Graziadei's The Bachelor season, Daisy said, "I just want to do things that will make a difference and help other people and have fun along the way," during&nbsp;a recent appearance on&nbsp;"The Squeeze" podcast.

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' FRANCHISE COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER?? (PHOTOS)

"Maybe Dancing with the Stars?" actor Taylor Lautner's wife, who is also named Taylor Lautner, asked Daisy.

"That would be cool!" Daisy exclaimed. "I would be down to do that!"

Daisy therefore revealed she's finally open to appearing on another reality TV show after turning down The Bachelorette's 21st season and also rejecting the&nbsp;idea -- as of right now -- of looking for love in Mexico on Bachelor in Paradise's tenth season.

Joey also recently admitted he's got some moves and would maybe like to&nbsp;compete on&nbsp;Dancing with the Stars.

Joey's The Bachelor season wrapped filming right before Thanksgiving in November 2023.

But Daisy previously said on "The Viall Files" podcast that she turned down The Bachelorette role just two weeks before taping The Bachelor: After the Final Rose in late March. During that live special, Jenn Tran was announced as the next The Bachelorette star.

Daisy shared at the time how she wants to focus on herself and spend quality time with family and friends now that she's off television.

Daisy, after all, just had a cochlear implant in 2023, and before that, she battled undiagnosed Lyme disease for years and finally sought an aggressive treatment program in Germany.

"My health is an aspect of it. I knew, as the lead, it's a lot on you, not only emotionally but physically too," Daisy explained of her choice to turn down The Bachelorette on a recent episode of "The Viall Files" podcast.

"You're up super late, and it's nonstop. I talked to a lot of past leads when [ABC] was in talks with me, and I just knew from a health point, it would be a lot."

Daisy went on to clarify, "It's also not that I'm not ready to date; it's that I wasn't ready for that specific thing."

She continued, "I think right now, I just want to live and be happy. I always want to jump at opportunities, but I think this specific opportunity wasn't right for me right now."

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELORETTE' COUPLES NOW: WHOM DID 'THE BACHELORETTE' STARS AND THEIR BACHELOR PICKS ULTIMATELY END UP WITH?! (PHOTOS)&nbsp;&nbsp;

Daisy said she was also scared of "not getting enough sleep" during The Bachelorette process and essentially struggling through the whole thing.

"I knew they would take care of me, and they made that very evident that they would," Daisy revealed.

"But also, the fact you're hurting other people... I mean, there's usually what -- around 30 people? I can't send everyone home at once, you know what I mean? What if I didn't like them? I don't think I could actually sit there and kiss somebody [I didn't like]."

Daisy shared how she definitely "thought really long and hard" about The Bachelorette, but she ultimately decided it would be "too much" for her.

"I'm not someone who easily turns down opportunities, especially something like that, but there's also so much I want to do, and right now, I just felt like it was important that I kind of take control over my life and the path I want to do," Daisy explained to Nick.

Daisy apparently arrived at her decision thanks to input from her family and former show leads.

"Some people said, 'It's the hardest thing I've ever done,' but a lot of people were like, 'It's the best thing, too.' No one regretted doing it, but people were like, 'If you're doing it, make sure you're ready.' It just didn't feel right," Daisy shared.

But Daisy suggested it also wouldn't feel right to star on The Bachelorette in 2025 or later.

"Right now, I'm content with letting that go away, and I know most people might not understand that," Daisy said.

"I think if you were to ask me, even a year ago, 'Do you think this would be a possibility?' I would be like, 'Oh my gosh, 100 percent I'll do it.'"

Daisy shared how people on social media were accusing her of campaigning to be The Bachelorette star while Joey's season was airing but it was actually "quite the opposite" for her.

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' COUPLES NOW: WHO DID 'THE BACHELOR' STARS AND THEIR BACHELORETTE PICKS ACTUALLY END UP MARRYING? (PHOTOS)

On The Bachelor's Season 28 finale, Daisy and Kelsey Anderson were Joey's Final 2 bachelorettes in Tulum, Mexico.

After both women met Joey's family and had a final date with him, Daisy predicted that she wasn't going to end up with Joey.

Daisy therefore sought out Kelsey in her hotel room to essentially compare notes about their week.

Daisy admitted to Kelsey that something felt "off" and seemed to be "missing" with Joey during their last date, and so she arguably spoiled the fact that Kelsey was going to be Joey's winner.

The two women then traveled to the Final Rose Ceremony in the same van, and Daisy gracefully bowed out of the competition before Joey could officially dump her.

"Falling in love with you has been so fun and I do love you," Daisy told The Bachelor star at the Final Rose Ceremony. "But the thing is, you're not going to choose me."

Joey immediately broke down into tears, confirming that Daisy's gut instinct was correct.

Daisy told Joey that she realized he wasn't her "person," and she added, "I know that you know I'm not your person. And as much as that hurts, umm, I know you said you want what's best for me, and so I'm going to do what's best for me -- and I'm going to go."

Joey called Daisy "special" and offered to walk her out, but Daisy decided to do that on her own.

"I'm going to miss you," Joey cried.

"I'm going to miss you too," Daisy responded in tears. "I'm pulling for you!"

Daisy then returned to the van, hugged Kelsey, and wished Joey's winner the best.

Joey proceeded to reunite with Kelsey and propose marriage to her, and the couple is still together and planning to move to New York City in July or August.

Show Update News : 'American Idol' recap: Top 10 announced, eliminating Jayna Elise and Roman Collins
American Idol 22 American Idol eliminated Jayna Elise and Roman Collins on "Billboard No. 1 hits" night, which determined the Top 10 contestants for Season 22 during the two-hour episode that aired Monday night on ABC.

Jayna, a 22-year-old performer from Washington, D.C., and Roman, a 24-year-old worship leader from Long Beach, CA, were eliminated from the American Idol competition based on the 20 million home viewer votes that poured in live while the Top 12 contestants performed Billboard No. 1 hits for American Idol judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan.

Pop singer Meghan Trainor served as the mentor for the Billboard Hits-themed week.

The night's results were shocking considering Jayna and Roman had received stellar feedback from American Idol's judges.

Jayna took the stage with "Diamonds" by Rihanna.

Katy thought the performance was "so you" and that Jayna had reached her "100 percent perfect formula" by being so measured and "controlled."

Luke called it a "timeless, professional" performance that was "solid," and he advised her not to step off the gas going forward.

Roman performed "Roar" by Katy.

Lionel commented on how Roman "never failed to take it over the top" and his performance was full of "soul and power." Katy gushed about how it was "amazing" and how her parents adore -- and pray for -- the singer.

As for the Top 10 contestants' performances, Abi Carter, a 21-year-old musician from Indio, CA, sang "All Too Well" by Taylor Swift.

Luke said Abi's performance wasn't "as shiny" as what she had delivered on Sunday night.

"I think you're incredible, but don't get too comfortable at the piano. I'd like to see you working the stage and giving us a lot of energy," Luke said.

Jack Blocker, a 25-year-old graphic designer from Dallas, TX, performed "Blinding Nights" by The Weeknd.

Katy thought he "did it again" by using his brain and good strategy. Katy said he "keeps people guessing" and she'd like to hear him sing a cappella next time.

Julia Gagnon, a 22-year-old college student from Cumberland, ME, selected the song "Something in the Orange" by Zach Bryan.

Katy said it one of her favorite performances because of Julia's dynamics and how the performance was "like a dance." Luke also praised Julia for showing "all of your tricks."

Kaibrienne, a 20-year-old B&amp;B host from Henefer, UT, sang "Wrecking Ball" by Miley Cyrus.

Luke appreciated how Kaibrienne pushed herself outside of her comfort zone and explored bigger songs, and Katy urged her to "let it fly" and "keep it flying" onstage as the competition progresses.

Kayko, a 23-year-old songwriter and producer from Fort Lauderdale, FL, impressed with his own rock version of "Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye.

The judges ran onstage and hugged Kayko after his performance because his unique and risky rendition of the song "worked" and paid off.

Katy screamed about how Kayko was her new best friend, and Lionel repeated "wow" three times in astonishment.

McKenna Faith Breinholt, a 25-year-old esthetician from Gilbert, AZ, took the stage with "Cardigan" by Taylor Swift.

Luke insisted it was "so pro, so next level," and Lionel thought McKenna sounded really sexy. It was also Katy's "favorite."

Mia Matthews, a 19-year-old singer from Centre, AL, performed "Over You" by Miranda Lambert.

Luke told Mia that she was giving "star power stuff," and Katy added that her vocals have grown so much but she needs to move around the stage in order to "get to the very, very top."

Triston Harper, a 15-year-old high school student from McIntosh, AL, sang "Beautiful Crazy" by Luke Combs.

Lionel thought it was great but warned Triston not to "lose your power" while singing.

Emmy Russell, a 25-year-old songwriter from Nashville, TN, took the stage with "Lose You to Love Me" by Selena Gomez.

Luke applauded Emmy for "shining," and Katy said she liked that rendition of the song because it was "authentically" her and one of her best vocal performances yet.

And Will Moseley, a 23-year-old musician from Hazlehurst, GA, performed "Starting Over" by Christina Stapleton.

"It went from zero to 100 in less than two seconds... You have instant identity with your voice, and I love what you just did," Lionel said.

Katy asked for "more" in his face, and Luke agreed that performing takes a little bit of acting.

People News : 'The Bachelorette' alum Jason Tartick confirmed to be dating TikTok star Kat Stickler
The Bachelorette 14 The Bachelorette alum Jason Tartick is dating social media influencer Kat Stickler following his broken engagement to Kaitlyn Bristowe.

Jason, 35, and Kat, 29, are definitely dating, People reported.

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' FRANCHISE COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER?? (PHOTOS)

Kat made an appearance at a wrap party for Jason's new book Talk Money To Me in New York City on Friday, April 19.

When Jason made one of his speeches, he gave Kat a shout-out.

After mentioning Love Is Blind and fellow Bachelor Nation alums who were in attendance, Jason announced, "We got the TikTok celebrities [here], like Kat Stickler," which prompted loud cheers from the audience.

Jason and Kat were spotted out to dinner in Chicago, IL, after taping an upcoming episode of Jason's "Trading Secrets" podcast. They were also rumored to have been vacationing together.

Jason acknowledged the "chit-chat" he was hearing online in a March interview with People.

At the time, he said Talk Money To Me was his main "focus," largely in part due to his highly publicized and scrutinized breakup with Kaitlyn in August 2023.

"I think due to such a public breakup, even when I think about the idea of talking openly about my dating life, I get like, 'Oh, That scares me,'" Jason admitted while promoting his book earlier this year.

"The whole idea of dating is relatively new to me," Jason continued.

"[Because] really, there's been some gaps of course, 100%. But from 2017, when I started talking to The Bachelor franchise, and in between there, there was a few months, and now I've been single for about 9 months... And it's all still pretty new to me."

But Jason gushed of Kat at the time, "Kat is an amazing person. She's lovely and a great mother, and she's a hilarious content creator. I only have incredible things to say about her."

Jason also remained tight-lipped about his rumored romance with Kat during a recent appearance on the "Scrubbing In With Becca Tilley &amp; Tanya Rad" podcast.

"Here's what I'll say to that: I think after my last relationship, I'm in the space of keeping things a little bit more private right now," Jason said earlier this month.

"[My split from Kaitlyn] was so public, and there's a lot that comes with that -- good and bad."

"And so, the whole dating aspect, which I'm relatively new to, I'm like, 'You know what? For right now, today, I'm gonna kind of keep things private,'" he said, "until things become [more serious]. But right now, I'm keeping things a little private. But more to come."

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELORETTE' COUPLES NOW: WHOM DID 'THE BACHELORETTE' STARS AND THEIR BACHELOR PICKS ULTIMATELY END UP WITH?! (PHOTOS)&nbsp;&nbsp;

Jason also avoided giving a direct answer on whether he was still single.

"I'm keeping things private. So I'll say I don't know! When I'm not keeping things private, this is the place I'll come back to, and then we'll talk about it," teased The Bachelorette Season 14 alum.

"I'll get your advice and everything!"

Kat was previously married to fellow social-media star Michael Stickler and then briefly dated an engineer named Cam Winter.

Jason appeared to have totally moved on and healed from his breakup with Kaitlyn in February. At the time, he told his fans via Instagram Stories that he was thriving and feeling "truly euphoric."

Jason shared, "I can say with certainty, I have never felt better. I have put so much effort, time and work into understanding myself at the deepest levels and further understanding others."

"The liberation of knowing yourself to the core," he continued, "and then being able to see others for who they really are and why is truly euphoric."

The Bachelorette 14 alum went on to share his "biggest takeaway" from his heartbreak and recent experiences.

"First, keep pointing the thumb at yourself and do everything in your power to hold yourself accountable," Jason wrote.

"Know exactly who you are and why. We all have experienced traumas from our first memories that impact who we are today. Lean in!" he concluded.

Another Instagram user asked Kaitlyn's ex-fiance to reveal his "No. 1 flag" when navigating the rocky waters of dating.

"I'm a logical guy but when it comes to this new world of dating, I'm all about following my intuition and gut," Jason shared.

"Reason, rational, logic allll out the window. All gut feeling and guiding intuition."

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' COUPLES NOW: WHO DID 'THE BACHELOR' STARS AND THEIR BACHELORETTE PICKS ACTUALLY END UP MARRYING? (PHOTOS)

Jason, a Buffalo native who competed for Becca Kufrin's heart on The Bachelorette's fourteenth season in 2018, asked Kaitlyn out on their first date in January 2019, and their romance moved quickly.

Jason moved from his place in Washington to live with Kaitlyn in Nashville, TN, in June 2019. The couple then adopted their two dogs together, Pinot and Ramen, and got engaged in May 2021.

Jason ultimately moved himself out of Kaitlyn's Nashville home into his new place after their breakup last summer. (Kaitlyn also subsequently moved into a new house for a fresh start after her back-to-back broken engagements to The Bachelorette 11 winner Shawn Booth and then Jason).

For Kaitlyn's part, she now appears to be dating Tayshia Adams' ex-fiancee and The Bachelorette 16 winner Zac Clark.

Kaitlyn and Zac rang in 2024 together at a party in Kaitlyn's new Nashville home, and they were recently spotted dancing together and hugging at a bar in New York City, where Zac currently resides.

Kaitlyn has faced backlash about her apparent new romance with Zac -- including speculation she had cheated on Jason while they were still together and also broken "girl code" with Tayshia -- but the former Dancing with the Stars champion claimed on social media earlier this year that she was never unfaithful to Jason.

"Some of you [are] treating me like I murdered someone," Kaitlyn wrote in a series of posts via Instagram Stories.

"You would think by now I'd be used to the hate. I'm not. Your words hurt. Your shaming hurts. Part of me feels a little sad and honestly embarrassed for you guys because this shouldn't be how you spend Day 1 of a new year."

The Bachelor alum also noted, "But you don't even know the truth, and your HATE should actually come with consequences. I truly worry about some of your mental health. It's not OK. It's. Not."

Kaitlyn doubled down on her cheating denial in February, insisting she never emotionally cheated on Jason either.

Kaitlyn also appeared to address her relationship with Zac by writing, "I wish I could just share my truth and tell you my side. It's hard to bite my dang tongue sometimes... But you just go on and continue to have your own little made up story in your head and believe what you want to believe. Social media la la land. Good lawwwddd."

Kaitlyn proceeded to post a screenshot of her exchange with someone who wrote to Kaitlyn, "But like they don't know the truth or any backstory. It's wild... Like go volunteer. Go give blood plz."

Jason publicly commented on Kaitlyn's new relationship in early January, and Kaitlyn admitted on her "Off the Vine" podcast she was "disappointed" in her ex-fiance for allegedly playing the victim.

For Zac's part, he got engaged to Tayshia on The Bachelorette's sixteenth season finale in 2020.

But about one year after their engagement aired on ABC, Zac and Tayshia announced their breakup in November 2021.

Tayshia is currently dating former Summer House star Luke Gulbranson.

Below is what happened on Episode 6 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s eighth season.


<H2>NICOLE and MAHMOUD</H2>Nicole yelled at Mahmoud in front of her friends, and she apologized to them for making them feel uncomfortable.

"But enough is enough," Nicole vented.

Nicole's friends wanted to see her relationship work, and one of the women said her heart was breaking watching Nicole and Mahmoud fight.

Nicole's friend Julian -- whose partner Olga came from the Ukraine -- asked Mahmoud to be patient, and he acknowledged that Nicole had said mean things to her husband.

"I'm here for... only two days. I don't have anybody here in this country, and she just embarrassed me... And she has alcohol at home. I don't understand why she's doing that. I'm here," Mahmoud lamented to the 90 Day Fiance cameras.

Mahmoud said he was trying to adapt to American culture but Nicole needed to meet him halfway, especially when it came to how she dressed in public.

Julian pointed out how showing a little bit of back was meeting him halfway and that Nicole dressed more conservatively than most of the women in Los Angeles.

Mahmoud told the cameras that Nicole was asking for too much and she'd need to accept him for who he is, a traditional Muslim man. Mahmoud felt disrespected, and he questioned whether his marriage was going to work out long-term.

After the fight, Mahmoud was looking at his suitcase and moving his belongings around, which infuriated Nicole. Nicole told him to stop and calm down, but Mahmoud continued packing and attempted to leave the apartment with his things.

Julian tried to stop Mahmoud in his tracks, but Mahmoud begged Nicole's friends to just let him go.


<H2>EMILY and KOBE</H2>Kobe's leg was hurting after his handball game, and Emily wasn't in a good mood after speaking to Kobe's concerned and disapproving friends. Emily was upset that Kobe's friends had so many doubts about her.

Emily told Kobe that his friends were worried they weren't going to be happy in the long run.

"If your friends don't like me... and they're bringing it up now after two years of marriage and two kids, why would they even come to our wedding? I don't want someone at the wedding who doesn't want you to be married to me," Emily explained.

Kobe said there was no way he'd get married in Cameroon without his friends present, and Kobe thought this was another example of Emily trying to control everything.

"I'm putting my foot down. My country, my rules. My friends are coming to the wedding -- the end," Kobe concluded.

Emily then brought up how she heard KObe had been dating his ex-girlfriend when she met him in China. When Emily met Kobe, he had told her that he was single, and then he proposed to her right away.

"Why would you propose to me if you were dating someone?" Emily asked.

"That's crazy," Kobe replied. "I don't know where all of this is coming from. It's bullsh-t."

Kobe didn't appreciate Emily "digging" into his past when they had only been in Cameroon for a few days. The pair fought about it, and Kobe asked his wife to believe him and trust him.

Kobe said he spoke to his ex-girlfriend once in a while and she was well aware of his relationship with Emily. Emily said if Kobe was lying to her, they'd have a big problem to deal with.

Emily, Kobe, Emily's parents, and one of Kobe's friends then had a blast at an amusement park. Emily realized while having fun with her family that she should loosen up a little bit and give Kobe the benefit of the doubt.

Emily and Kobe later went out to a club with Kobe's friends.

Emily put on a good face and was hoping to blend their cultures together. Emily also wanted to show Kobe's pals -- who expected Emily to stay home, cooking and cleaning -- how much fun she could be.

But the gathering didn't go well. Kobe's friends spoke over Emily when she was talking, and when she interrupted them, they called her "bossy." Emily felt she couldn't do anything right with them and was never going to win, and so she stormed out of the club alone.


<H2>ED and LIZ</H2>A producer asked Liz, who appeared upset, like she had been crying, what just happened.

Liz announced, "Ed canceled the wedding."

Liz explained how she was at a loss for words and didn't know what happened. Liz and Ed had gotten into an argument in front of his family a few days earlier.

Apparently, Ed had cooked a meal that was way too spicy for Liz's daughter, Ryleigh, and then Ed asked her to stop being a baby. Liz didn't appreciate that, and she called Ed out for it.

"He attacked me back, saying, 'Look at you, you're crazy,'" Liz alleged. "So at this point, we're arguing in front of his family."

When Liz woke up the next morning, she said Ed was gone. And then one day later, Liz received a message from her bishop, sending his apologies and condolences about the wedding being called off.

"Ed canceled our wedding without even telling me," Liz lamented to the cameras. "This fight isn't anywhere compared to the fights we used to have, so I don't understand any of this."

Liz was shocked and confused Ed had canceled the wedding over "taco pasta." She wondered if Ed was getting cold feet and never really wanted to get married.

"I don't think I could've shown this man anymore effort and that he means everything to me," Liz cried.

"I don't know of anyone else who would fight for him the way that I fought, and I think that's a special kind of love," she added.

"To not even have a conversation with me? I'm really mad, I'm broken and I'm hurt. He's staying at his sister's and he's ignoring me... I am dying inside right now, waiting to have a conversation with him. What a coward -- a weakling!"

Meanwhile, Ed was relying on his sister Elizabeth for support and comfort. Ed told Elizabeth how Liz's blow up had embarrassed him in front of his whole family, and he accused her of having escalated a small fight into something huge.

Ed claimed that Liz had yelled at him and flipped out, and so he didn't think she respected him. Ed predicted that things with Liz weren't going to change and their fights would continue, and so he wanted to cut ties with Liz before allowing that to happen.

Ed apparently received his wedding deposit back from the venue, and Elizabeth noted how Ed and Liz simply weren't meant to be together. Elizabeth said it broke her heart to hear how Liz had spoken to her brother, and she wanted to see Ed end up with a nice Christian woman.

"I know if I continue down this path and marry Liz, I'm going to be miserable for the rest of my life, and I don't want to be divorced. It would be a nightmare. It wouldn't be a good thing for her or for me, especially me," Ed explained to his sister.

"I need her to know that we're not moving forward together, but I haven't told her yet... Out of the last 13 times, this is really going to be the final [breakup]."

Ed determined that he and Liz weren't going to get married, no matter what, and that he was done.

Ed claimed this breakup was different because he wasn't angry at Liz; he just realized that they're not meant to be together. Ed said he could see "clearly" that things weren't going to work with Liz and that she needed to go and "live her own life."


<H2>ROB and SOPHIE</H2>Rob made Sophie breakfast, a little salmon on crackers. Sophie had moved back into Rob's place, but Sophie admitted things were a little awkward as they tried to have a happy relationship and ignore the elephants in the room.

Rob put Sophie's wedding ring in a cube of cheese as a surprise, but Sophie complained to the cameras about how she didn't even like cheese and it was going to make her ring smell bad.

"This isn't even the ring," Sophie complained to Rob.

"You haven't seen it in so long that you don't even remember what the ring looks like," Rob quipped.

Rob told the cameras that if it really wasn't Sophie's ring, he wasn't going to say or change anything about the situation. He apparently thought it was funny. He was just happy to see her wearing it again.

Since Sophie and Rob were trying to get along and be nice to each other, Sophie made an effort to show interest in Rob's "baby," which was his pet tarantula. Sophie even touched it and thought it was soft.

"I realize that I can come off like a bit of an assh-le sometimes in the way I say things," Rob confessed to the cameras. "So I'm really focusing on being less reactive to help us."

Rob and Sophie were still in love, and they intended on working things out.

Later on, Sophie admitted to her friend that she and Rob hadn't consummated their marriage. Not only that, but the pair hadn't slept together in six months. Sophie admitted that her sex life was really bad at the moment.

Prior to getting married, Rob and Sophie had sex about twice a week. Sophie said Rob needed her to dress up in order to get turned on, and Sophie's friend thought there was a big problem there.

Sophie's friend just wanted her to be happy, even if that meant hooking up with a woman again. Sophie had hooked up with women a couple times in her past, but she never confessed that to Rob.

"We had so many issues, I just didn't want to add on top of that," Sophie explained to the cameras.

Sophie said she didn't like talking about her sex life with Rob because it was embarrassing, and she wondered if his interest in porn and women online played a role in his struggle to have sex without fantasy being an aspect of it.

Sophie's friend suggested that Sophie and Rob should go to therapy together, and so Sophie considered it. Sophie wanted to improve the couple's sex life, and she wondered if therapy would be just the ticket.


<H2>PATRICK and THAIS</H2>Patrick and Thais were shown packing for their trip to Brazil, and they were going to be joined by Patrick's brother John.

Patrick predicted the trip was going to be overwhelming, especially because they were going to be flying with their baby Aleesi and their dog. Patrick also joked about how John tended to cause trouble.

Thais was worried about how her dad was going to react to Patrick because Patrick had never asked for her father's blessing to marry her. Patrick insisted he had tried at one point and Thais' father said no.

Thais wanted Patrick to speak to her father in Portuguese and ask for his blessing once again. Patrick thought it was "pointless" since he already wed Thais and they had a child, but he said he wanted to do right by his wife.

"If my father rejects Patrick, I'm afraid my relationship is going to change between me and my dad," Thais lamented to the cameras.

After a long trip, Patrick and Thais finally arrived in Brazil. Thais touched base with her dad, Carlos, who called Patrick "a little bastard." Patrick couldn't believe that they had just touched down in Brazil and Thais' dad was already calling him names.

Patrick and Thais returned to their old apartment in Brazil, which Patrick's father owned. Patrick, however, paid rent for the place, where he and Thais had made many memories.

Patrick's dad then showed up to the apartment, and Thais wasn't happy because she had been hoping for a night alone with her husband before reuniting with John.


<H2>LOREN and ALEXEI</H2>Loren and Alexei were shown celebrating Ariel's first birthday with a big party. The couple, who had known each other for 10 years, has three children together: Shai, Asher and Ari.

Alexei boasted about being "the king of the castle," but he said he and Loren didn't want to have any more kids.

"I really think it's time to do something for me," Loren explained. "I'm having surgery next week. I'm doing a mommy makeover. I'm doing it naturally. I'm getting sucked and tucked and tightened and toned!"

Loren explained how she was doing a tummy tuck, a 360 liposuction from her chin, arms, upper back, lower back, and her thighs. She was also doing a fat transfer, with that lipo, to her boobs.

Loren's friends thought she was crazy because they claimed she didn't have any stretch marks or cellulite. Loren, however, said she couldn't exercise and tone her stomach after having three c-sections in two-and-a-half years.

"My abdominal muscles have separated, and they won't go back," Loren said.

"It's physically uncomfortable. I love my children, but my body just didn't get a break. It's been a really busy three years! So having this mommy makeover will actually help me feel better."

Loren, who was battling body dysmorphia, said she wants to be 50 and look like she's 35-years-old.

Loren anticipated the surgeries would boost her confidence and help her mental and psychological health. She felt she was reclaiming her body after having kids.

Loren said she didn't like eating in front of people and the surgery would help her finally get rid of the body dysmorphia.

Alexei said he didn't have a choice in the matter but to support his wife, but none of her friends or family -- including her opinionated mother -- agreed with her having the elective surgery.

Alexei was worried and stressed about having to take care of his three children while Loren would be recovering and out of commission. He predicted they'd both be cranky after her surgery and it wasn't going to be easy.

"I'll talk to the doctor and see what he says. That might be my last chance to kind of maybe sabotage the whole thing, if I really feel badly about it," Alexei shared with Loren's mom, who then asked Alexei to give it his best effort to stop Loren from going under the knife.

People News : 'The Bachelor' alum Danielle Maltby reveals why she's staying in Cleveland after Michael Allio dumped her
The Bachelor 21 The Bachelor alum Danielle Maltby has revealed why she decided to keep living in Cleveland, Ohio after Michael Allio dumped her.

Danielle was smitten with Michael, a widower and business owner from Akron, OH, when the pair appeared on Bachelor in Paradise's eighth season in 2022, and they left the season dating and in a relationship.

Danielle moved from Nashville, TN -- where she had lived for 12 years -- to Cleveland, OH, to be with Michael and his young son James in February 2023, but Michael announced their split in September of last year, claiming he and Danielle weren't compatible.

Danielle revealed on her "The WoMed" podcast that Michael "blindsided" and brutally dumped her one day after she had frozen her eggs. She said the breakup left her "hurt" and "confused" as well as overcome with grief.

"I moved up here for someone who I thought wanted to be with me forever," Danielle told Cleveland Magazine. "I genuinely believed we'd get engaged and married."

She added, "It's become such a thing in The Bachelor world to make a joint statement [when you split up], but there was nothing joint about this. I didn't decide it."

Danielle confessed that she "was in the trenches for a few months" after Michael broke up with her.

"I was in, like, constant communication with my therapist. Now, though, I've done so much healing," Danielle said.

And part of her journey to healing is accepting Cleveland as her new home, even though she had left her nursing job and friends behind in Nashville to become a part of Michael's life in Ohio.

"I didn't necessarily choose this place," Danielle admitted, "but I wanted to make it feel like home. It was like, 'Well, I'm here, so I now need to take my life back.'"

Most of Danielle's followers anticipated she'd move back to Nashville, but Danielle said she's ready and willing to embrace Cleveland as her new city, regardless of the fact she's single again.

"I just want to help empower anyone who's in a similar situation," Danielle shared, adding that she's "grateful" for her stints on reality TV because she now has a platform to share her opinions on healthcare, politics and more.

Danielle credited her co-workers at The Skin Center, a medical spa, for helping her discover what Cleveland has to offer her. In fact, Danielle said it was her co-workers and new friends in the city who ultimately convinced her to stay and give Ohio a real shot.

"I work with these incredible women who have brought so much joy to my life," Danielle gushed.

"They rallied around me and made lists of all of these things to take me to and to do together, just to keep me busy and show me the city."

Danielle has since been enjoying the food scene, football games, music, morning walks on the beach, and museums.

"I'm someone who has always gone where life takes me, and I'm always open to an adventure," she noted.

Many The Bachelor fans would call Danielle flexible and resilient.

When Danielle was 25-years-old, for example, she found the body of her then-boyfriend who had just overdosed on drugs in 2011. She had to resuscitate him and witness his death, which left her with a lot of trauma to carry and deal with.

But according to the blonde beauty, her most recent ex-boyfriend -- presumably Michael -- made her feel like she was weak.

"In my last relationship, I was told that I wasn't resilient enough," Danielle admitted to the magazine.

"I just laughed because that's the last thing anybody would say about me. I've been through so much, and I'm still so hopeful."

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELORETTE' COUPLES NOW: WHOM DID 'THE BACHELORETTE' STARS AND THEIR BACHELOR PICKS ULTIMATELY END UP WITH?! (PHOTOS)&nbsp;&nbsp;

Former The Bachelor star Nick Viall, for instance, called Danielle "resilient" when she competed on his season in 2017, and the Bachelor in Paradise alum -- who is well on her way to being whole again -- apparently has a lot to look forward to in her new city.

"My superpower is that I can make a beautiful life wherever I am," Danielle concluded.

In response to Danielle's allegation Michael had brutally dumped her and "traumatized" her, Michael confirmed on Jason Tartick's "Trading Secrets" podcast in September 2023 that he didn't warn Danielle ahead of time about how he was feeling and so she never saw the split coming.

"[But] there's a reason why. We broke up 13 weeks ago and over the span of that 13 weeks, we spoke multiple times about how we want to roll this out," Michael explained.

"I suggested doing a mutual breakup post, but she did not want to do that mainly because this breakup was not mutual. She told me, 'Go out there, say what you want to say, do what you want to do. I'll follow suit.'"

According to The Bachelorette alum, Danielle asked him not to call or contact her because staying in communication would make healing and moving on "that much more difficult."

However, Michael claimed that he was not quick to throw in the towel, and that he and Danielle had attended couples' therapy to try to salvage their relationship.

"She wanted me to wait [to announce the breakup] and I felt, like, because I was the one that broke it off with her, I should be respectful of that. So, I kind of waited for her lead and when she started taking down posts on Instagram, I kind of followed suit," Michael said.

Michael -- who welcomed James with his late wife Laura Ritter-Allio, who died from breast cancer in 2019 -- also said that just because his relationship with Danielle didn't work out, it doesn't mean that he's not over his late wife.

Michael wrote via Instagram Stories at the time, "[If] there's something that you're looking for that doesn't exist in that other person, it doesn't mean you try to change that person and turn them into this perfect version for you because that's wrong too."

Given Michael was clearly having doubts about his future with Danielle, a fan asked Michael to explain why he didn't stop Danielle from quitting her job in Nashville and moving to his home state in order to progress their relationship.

The Bachelorette alum pointed out how Danielle had made a real "sacrifice on her end" and explained how he's unable to leave Ohio due to his "support system" that helps him take care of James.

Michael claimed he "totally" would have considered moving to Nashville if he didn't have a child to raise.

"Danielle was in a transition period and she wanted to leave her job," Michael said, adding how Danielle had been thinking about moving to Ohio for reasons other than their post-Bachelor in Paradise romance.

"If we would have stayed long distance we wouldn't have known whether or not this would have worked, and our goal was to make it work."

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' COUPLES NOW: WHO DID 'THE BACHELOR' STARS AND THEIR BACHELORETTE PICKS ACTUALLY END UP MARRYING? (PHOTOS)

Michael also claimed via Instagram Stories at the time that before Danielle moved to Ohio, he told her that he couldn't fathom having another child.

Michael said he warned Danielle that he might never want kids and she handled the news "gracefully" and proceeded to freeze her eggs just in case he changed his mind down the road.

Prior to Michael's breakup announcement, split rumors had plagued the couple for months, and they both dodged talking about their relationship in the media.

After competing for Katie Thurston's heart on The Bachelorette's seventeenth season and then turning down a starring role on The Bachelor, Michael appeared on Bachelor in Paradise.

But when Danielle stepped foot on the Paradise beach in Mexico, Michael seemed ecstatic and affectionately called her "Dani."

The pair had spoken via DMs on Instagram and become friends prior to filming the show, but Paradise marked the first time they were meeting in-person.

Michael and Danielle were able to connect quickly over their similar losses and traumas. The pair slowly got to know each other and never expressed interest in dating anyone else on the show.

Michael and Danielle chose to leave Bachelor in Paradise together as a couple before overnight Fantasy Suites. They both determined they weren't ready to get engaged, especially because Danielle had yet to meet James.

However, Michael revealed on the reunion show in November 2022 that James quickly came to adore Danielle, and that Danielle couldn't wait to become a bigger part of James' life.

Michael also announced on the reunion show that he was "in love" with Danielle and she had changed his life for the better. Danielle is only the second woman whom Michael ever said, "I love you," to.

While Danielle had no reservations about moving to Ohio in order to progress her relationship with Michael naturally, she explained how they didn't want to live under the same roof -- at least not yet -- as to not rush things or disrupt James' comfortable routine.

"I'm just so excited," Michael said on social media in December 2022 of Danielle's decision to uproot her life for him.

"Long distance is difficult, but we've made the best of it and this next chapter and upcoming year is one I am so looking forward to. She's the best!"

People News : 'American Idol' alum Mandisa dead at age 47
American Idol 5 American Idol alum Mandisa has passed away at age 47.

Mandisa was found dead in her Nashville home on Thursday, April 18, according to USA Today.

"At this time, we do not know the cause of death or any further details," Mandisa's team told the outlet.

"We ask for your prayers for her family and close-knit circle of friends during this incredibly difficult time."

A statement on Mandisa's official Facebook account reads, "Mandisa was a voice of encouragement and truth to people facing life's challenges all around the world. She wrote this song for a dear friend who had passed away in 2017. Her own words say it best. 'I'm already home, you've got to lay it down 'cause Jesus holds me now -- And I am not alone.'"

Mandisa's death was also announced on the California radio station K-Love, Us Weekly reported.

"Mandisa loved Jesus, and she used her unusually extensive platform to talk about Him at every turn," David Pierce, the Chief Media Officer for K-Love, said on Friday, April 19.

"Her kindness was epic, her smile electric, her voice massive, but it was no match for the size of her heart."

David continued, "Mandisa struggled, and she was vulnerable enough to share that with us, which helped us talk about our own struggles. Mandisa's struggles are over. She is with the God she sang about now. While we are saddened, Mandisa is home. We're praying for Mandisa's family and friends and ask you to join us."

On Sunday night's episode of American Idol, host Ryan Seacrest paid a quick tribute to Mandisa.

"We wanted to take a moment to honor a dear member of the Idol family who we sadly lost this week -- Mandisa," Ryan said.

"She was an inspiration on the show and beyond. We're going to celebrate her next week with a very special musical tribute. Our hearts go out to her family and all of those, like us, who called her a friend."

Many American Idol alums have been remembering Mandisa and honoring her memory.

Jennifer Hudson wrote on X, "Broke my heart when I heard the news! She was truly a woman of faith. A bright light that made such a powerful imprint on this world. Rest in heaven, Mandisa!"

Mandisa previously revealed in 2017 on Good Morning America that she battled demons and her friends attempted to help her.

"I came out of the movie theater, this was after years of me being in that dark place and ignoring everybody, and I noticed that my car had a bunch of sticky notes all over it," the singer said at the time.

"As I got closer to it, I realized that those notes said things like, 'We love you. Come back to us. We miss you.' And then as I got closer to my car, a group of my friends, who I had shut out, they were there."

Mandisa added, "And they had been waiting at that movie theater as I sat there and watched two movies, not just one, they waited there for over four hours for me. And they pretty much had an intervention and they said, 'We love you just as you are but we love you too much to leave you that way.'"

Mandisa competed on American Idol's fifth season when the show had aired on Fox in 2006. She was a 29-year-old from Antioch, TN, at the time, and she was formally known as Mandisa Hundley.

Mandisa finished in the Top 10 during her season, but she faced a lot of scrutiny. Mandisa was once told her song choice was "horrible," and former American Idol judge Simon Cowell criticized her weight and later apologized for body-shaming her.

One year after her elimination, Mandisa dropped her debut album, True Beauty in 2007.

Following her first album, Mandisa released five more albums, and the Christian recording artist won four Grammy Awards for her contemporary gospel albums.

People News : 'The Bachelorette' alum Greg Grippo confirms "really sad" split from Victoria Fuller
The Bachelorette 17 The Bachelorette alum Greg Grippo has confirmed his split from Victoria Fuller following months of breakup speculation on social media.

Multiple sources told Page Six last week that Victoria and Greg, both 30, had called it quits on their relationship "months ago."

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' FRANCHISE COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER?? (PHOTOS)

All signs pointed to a breakup because Victoria and Greg recently unfollowed each other on Instagram. They also haven't posted photos of one another on social media since December 2023.

Victoria and Greg have also been ignoring questions from fans in their Instagram comments about the current status of their relationship.

"You and Victoria did follow each other, and now I see that you don't," Jason Tartick told Greg during the Monday, April 22 episode of his "Trading Secrets" podcast. "What's going on? Are these rumors true?"

Greg, who appeared on the podcast alongside his good friend and fellow The Bachelorette 17 alum Andrew Spencer, shared that he and Victoria are no longer together.

"You know, being in a public relationship and if things aren't working out, it sucks even more. It's hard," Greg explained to Jason, who previously competed on Becca Kufrin's season of The Bachelorette.

Greg called his situation with Victoria "really sad," adding, "I just want to respect her during this time."

Greg continued, "[I'm] not going to detail anything, but of course, we definitely ended things. I don't have anything bad to say, she's amazing and I know that she's going to continue to do amazing things."

Jason noted how dating in the public can be "really hard."

And there was a lot of noise surrounding Victoria and Greg's romance because Victoria had just filmed Bachelor in Paradise's eighth season and ended her engagement to Johnny DePhillipo in 2022.

"I feel like that made them stronger, in a way," Andrew chimed in.

Jason, whose engagement to Kaitlyn Bristowe ended in August 2023, jokingly asked Greg to show him the playbook.

Greg agreed that when it came to his relationship with Victoria, criticism and scrutiny actually worked in their favor.

"I think that the women in the franchise get attacked, especially, like, a select few of them, no matter what they do," Greg explained.

"Especially [Victoria] anything she does gets scrutinized, I feel like. She has a really good heart, and it sucks. Seeing somebody go through that type of sh-t, especially someone you're with and in a romantic relationship with, it's really tough and it's really hard to watch."

Greg added, "I hated that part of it all, but it definitely grew us really close. We were definitely able to get through a really hard time, really early."

Jason admitted Greg had delivered sad news, but Greg insisted he's looking forward to the future as a newly-single bachelor.

"This stage of my life right now, I'm really happy about and excited for. It just feels really fresh," Greg said.

"For so long, I felt a lot of guilt... After my dad passed, I went to New York and was just thinking about my mom at home... To think about her in an empty house absolutely killed me, so I never actually got to experience New York while I was here. I would drive home five times a week, or once every five days, and stay through the weekend."

Greg now has a part-time place in Chicago until September, and he said he's about to sign a lease in Williamsburg come June. Victoria, meanwhile, still resides in Nashville, TN.

"I'm really excited about it. I'm really happy about it. This is the lightest I've felt in I don't know how long," Greg gushed.

"I can feel it man!" Andrew exclaimed.

Last summer, Victoria and Greg had been house hunting in Nashville together, but Greg apparently never made the move.

Victoria and Greg also dealt with split rumors last summer.

When rumors had swirled that Victoria was single again -- mainly because she and Greg hadn't posted about each other on social media for a month -- she shut them down by sharing some photos of herself cuddling with Greg in her home.

In June 2023, Victoria explained in a Q&amp;A session via Instagram Stories why she and Greg hadn't gotten engaged yet. After all, Greg had said only a few months earlier that he could picture himself marrying Victoria and having kids with her within five years.

"LMFAOOOOOOO. [Questioning about our engagement] is nuts!! You guys, if you don't remember, one year ago I was engaged Johnny. When it happens, it will not be rushed or for anyone but us. But y'all will be the first to know, trust," Victoria said.

Greg and Victoria first met at Governors Ball Music Festival in Summer 2021 and remained friends for nearly a year.

The couple told Nick Viall in December 2022 on "The Viall Files" podcast that they had mutual interest in each other but never acted on those feelings, especially since Victoria wanted to appear on Bachelor in Paradise that year and Greg was in a relationship with a woman overseas at that point.

Victoria therefore looked for love on Paradise, and she fell hard and fast for Johnny, who initially competed for Gabby Windey's heart on The Bachelorette's nineteenth season.

Victoria and Johnny got engaged on Bachelor in Paradise's eighth season in 2022, but the couple split shortly after filming the finale.

Victoria alleged Johnny had called her terrible names -- including a "f-cking c-nt" and "homewrecker," which Johnny denied and called "low blows" -- and Johnny claimed Victoria was jealous and "heartbroken" over his The Bachelorette stint, which was airing on television while they were secretly engaged.

Johnny also said Victoria demanded a lifestyle he wasn't ready for yet and their differences were glaring.

According to Victoria, she and Johnny ended their engagement three weeks after Johnny's marriage proposal because their dynamic was "toxic."

But Johnny claimed his relationship with Victoria didn't officially end until mid-September 2022 considering they were allegedly still speaking and had been going to therapy before Victoria enjoyed a surprising European getaway with Greg in late October of that year.

Fans first spotted Victoria and Greg, and suspected a romance, when they were spotted in Italy together.

Because of how quickly Victoria moved on from Johnny, the brunette beauty was accused of cheating on her then-fiance with Greg.

Victoria and Greg also flirted on social media as reports swirled about Victoria and Johnny's split.

Victoria said that Greg had officially asked her to be his girlfriend on Halloween in 2022, and then Victoria went public with her new relationship on November 4 of that year, when the Bachelor in Paradise reunion special taped.

Bachelor in Paradise's reunion aired in late November 2022, and fans were shocked to see Victoria and Greg so affectionate and carefree about their relationship. Victoria claimed she didn't care what anyone thought of her because she was so happy with Greg.

"I'm completely in love with her, like, head over heels in love with her," Greg said on Nick's podcast.

Nick therefore playfully asked Greg if he was ready to propose marriage to Victoria.

"Stay tuned!" Victoria teased.

"I mean, we both want that in life," Greg interjected, "she's my person."

Victoria had agreed that Greg was her "person," and then Greg added, "I haven't felt -- I don't want to say 'content,' that's not the right word because it sounds boring. But I think there's a certain beauty with being content with someone."

Greg said he could just sit in a room with Victoria for days on end and they wouldn't get sick of each other.

"We're growing day by day, and I see it going that route," Greg gushed. "I want that and I know that that's important to her, and I want to be able to take that step with her."

Victoria was clearly getting choked up during the interview and she said, "I'm going to cry."

Prior to appearing on Paradise, Victoria competed for Peter Weber on The Bachelor's 24th season and finished in third place after Fantasy Suites.

Greg and Andrew initially competed on Katie Thurston's season of The Bachelorette.

Show Update News : 'American Idol' determines Top 12 contestants, eliminating Nya and Jordan Anthony
American Idol 22 American Idol eliminated Jordan Anthony and Nya, which determined the Top 12 contestants for Season 22 during the two-hour episode that aired Sunday night on ABC.

Jordan, a 19-year-old artist from Perth, Australia, and Nya, a 28-year-old Broadway performer from Manhattan, NY, were eliminated from the American Idol competition based on the 19.9 million home viewer votes that poured in live while the Top 14 contestants performed songs from the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame for American Idol judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan.

Iconic KISS bandmate Gene Simmons served as the mentor for the Rock &amp; Roll-themed week.

Jordan took the stage with a slower version of "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)" by Whitney Houston.

Lionel thought Jordan's performance was "fantastic," and Katy said, "You sounded like a super pro. That was the best performance you've ever given us... You've grown so much!"

Luke also thought Jordan had "nailed" the song from top to finish.

Nya belted out "I Say a Little Prayer" by Aretha Franklin.

Lionel dubbed Nya "a star," and Katy gushed, "That was the best you've ever done from top to bottom... You took a song that people want to hear and made it Nya... It was my favorite thing that I've ever heard you do."

Luke joked, "Just try to make it look a little bit difficult... It was so effortless and so smooth."

As for the Top 12 contestants' performances, Abi Carter, a 21-year-old musician from Indio, CA, took the stage with "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John.

"Wow, the complexity of everything that just went on there... you just held the whole room. That is pro, pro -- far beyond your age in years," Luke said.

"From Day 1, it's always been you," Katy said, adding, "You sing with an angelic frequency, and I think a lot of things are going to happen in the future when you sing."

Jayna Elise, a 22-year-old performer from Washington, D.C., belted out "I Have Nothing" by Whitney Houston.

"The way you're approaching this is like, 'I'm going to show the world I'm a big star,' and that's what it looks like," Luke complimented the singer.

Lionel added, "You look like a star, you act like a star, you sound like a star. My dear, you are a star."

Jack Blocker, a 25-year-old graphic designer from Dallas, TX, performed "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" by Bob Dylan.

"You're staying true to what you are, and you're growing like crazy," Luke gushed.

"You made a Bob Dylan song your song. It was fantastic," Lionel said, before Katy called the singer "the coolest."

Julia Gagnon, a 22-year-old college student from Cumberland, ME, sang "Run To You" by Whitney Houston.

"You commanded that stage tonight. It was absolutely beautiful," Lionel noted.

Katy shared, "Confidence is a mental decision. And you decided tonight to switch it on."

Kaibrienne, a 20-year-old B&amp;B host from Henefer, UT, sang "I Hate Myself for Loving You" by Joan Jett and The Blackhearts.

"In under a week, you morphed into a whole different human being... To watch you guys grow, it's amazing," Luke said.

"You have to tell the story in your face. That 'ugly face' you just gave us is exactly what we needed in that song, and you were oh so ugly," Lionel praised the singer.

Kayko, a 23-year-old songwriter and producer from Fort Lauderdale, FL, performed "High and Dry" by Radiohead.

"You really dug into wanting to show the world your artistry, but way to pivot and make the song yours," Luke said.

Katy told Kayko that he did the song justice and she believes in him.

McKenna Faith Breinholt, a 25-year-old esthetician from Gilbert, AZ, performed "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" by Chicago.

Katy told McKenna -- who was feeling under the weather -- that she looked "like a rock star," and Luke said it was a beautiful song choice.

"That was a sexy sounding performance," Lionel added.

Mia Matthews, a 19-year-old singer from Centre, AL, took the stage with "The Memories of You" by Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris.

"You bumped up your performance real good. That was authentic," Katy said, before Luke called the singer "amazing."

Roman Collins, a 24-year-old worship leader from Long Beach, CA, performed "You're All I Need To Get By" by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.

"Everything you do is authentically you. You are my favorite person to watch and hear right now," Katy admitted.

"Your talent level and what you're able to do with your voice is as good as anything I've ever seen in this chair. You have the ability to take the vibe in a room into the stratosphere," Luke gushed.

Triston Harper, a 15-year-old high school student from McIntosh, AL, took the stage with "Heartbreak Hotel" by Elvis Presley.

"You get what you give, even if it's just a little bit! The people are already in love with you," Katy gushed, before Luke added, "It was tremendous. It was perfectly done."

Emmy Russell, a 25-year-old songwriter from Nashville, TN, sang "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt.

Luke said Emmy's voice and the innocence she delivers gave him "full-body chills" and is "very special."

Will Moseley, a 23-year-old musician from Hazlehurst, GA, performed "Night Moves" by Bob Seger.

Katy was glad to see Will's sensitive side, and said, "That was the best performance he's ever given me. You gave us vocals and you're competing. It was awesome."

American Idol's Top 12 contestants will perform Monday night at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.

People News : 'The Bachelor's Kaity Biggar announces Zach Shallcross wedding date and location
The Bachelor 27 The Bachelor 27 winner Kaity Biggar has announced when and where she and fiance Zach Shallcross plan to get married.

Kaity took to Instagram on Wednesday, April 17 and conducted a Q&amp;A session with her fans.

When asked to spill some wedding details, Kaity shared that the wedding will take place in Texas.

The nurse and Zach revealed in January that they were moving into their first house together, which they are currently renting, in Austin, TX.

Kaity and Zach, who had both been living in Austin prior to The Bachelor, returned to the same city after the show aired in early 2023 on ABC. They hope to buy a house there together soon.

Kaity also revealed that The Bachelor couple will be tying the knot in October 2025.

"We are meeting with a wedding planner next week!" Kaity gushed.

One follower asked when Kaity and Zach will be returning to the TV screen, but Kaity replied, "[That] question is for @BachelorNation," along with a winking face.

Kaity also shared her favorite thing about Zach during the Q&amp;A.

"This man wakes up every morning and chooses to love me in the softest way. He tells me and shows me ALL the time how much he cares, loves, appreciates, and respects me as a partner, a friend, and a confidant," Kaity boasted about her man.

"He has the sweetest and purest soul a human could ever have. There's truly always a moment in the day where I look over at him and think to myself how lucky I am to be this man's future wife."

In addition, Kaity said she and Zach will be going on a trip to Hawaii with Charity Lawson, Dotun Olubeko, Joey Graziadei, and Kelsey Anderson in May.

Kaity and Zach will also be taking a trip to Tulum, Mexico, just for themselves, in June.

In October 2023, Kaity shared via Instagram Stories that nothing was "set in stone" yet for her wedding.

The Canada native shared, "We toss around the idea of doing a destination wedding and we're totally open to exploring new ideas and new environments like maybe Canada, who knows."

At the time, Kaity and Zach were also toying with the idea of getting married on a beach in Turks and Caicos.

Kaity noted on the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast, however, that she and Zach don't want to spend "thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars on just a day."

Zach elaborated on the podcast how the couple wants a "very small, very intimate" wedding with close family and friends in attendance.

"[We want to] make it fun for everyone," Zach explained last year. "We want to go somewhere cool and leave it at that. Make it a vacation for everyone."

On The Bachelor's 27th season, Zach was down to two bachelorettes -- Kaity and Gabi Elnicki -- during his final days in Thailand.

Zach had admittedly slept with Gabi in their Fantasy Suite, but he ended up choosing and getting engaged to Kaity at the Final Rose Ceremony.

Zach recently admitted on the "Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour" podcast that he wasn't completely sold on Kaity being his person until his time as the Bachelor was almost up.

"The actual moment when it happened, [when I decided on Kaity] was actually the day before our engagement," Zach confessed to Susan Noles and Kathy Swarts earlier this month.

Zach explained, "Throughout the whole process, I was very in my own head. I analyzed everything... I was checking off the boxes... I wasn't letting myself just take a step back and feel, 'Wait, where is my heart taking me? Who do I feel like that is my person? Who am I truly in love with?'"

Zach concluded that when he finally took a step back, he was able to acknowledge that Kaity is his person and it was a "no duh" moment for him.

"[I realized], 'I just want to spend my time with her.' I was like, 'She makes me feel like no one else can ever make me feel,'" Zach said, adding how there was "no doubt" in his mind once he settled on Kaity being his The Bachelor winner and future fiancee.

Zach also pointed out how an engagement is "a big deal" for him.

"I was not just going to propose to say I'm proposing at the end of this. Either I'm going to feel 100 percent confident or not [make] a decision like that for myself. So, for me, I did think about it too much, maybe," Zach confessed.

Zach's revelation wasn't news to Kaity, who insisted on the podcast that she never condemned Zach for feeling confused in Thailand, nor did she allow herself to get mad about his last-minute decision.

"That's just the way the show works. Everything is very compressed," Kaity pointed out.

"And I don't blame him for having clouded judgement because Gabi is an incredible woman as well. So when you have two -- I'm going to toot my own horn -- but when you have two incredible women in front of you, that has to be hard."

Kaity reasoned how a lead therefore can't possibly think "too much" about his or her final decision because an engagement is "so serious" and the commitment is real.

Kaity then shared on the "Golden Hour" podcast how she and Zach's priority, at the moment, was buying a house by the end of this year.

"And then we'll obviously put some money aside for a wedding," Kaity noted.
