"I think when you are in The Bachelor bubble, everything is very real and then obviously life begins once you are outside of that show."

Charity, however, had finished Zach's The Bachelor season in fourth place, and so she never got a chance to know what dating Zach in the real world would be like.
"I think I was very much 50-50 [after my hometown date]," Charity recalled.
"But I was like, 'Yes, I'm technically falling for him.' But if I had to say, like, 'Did I want to marry Zach in that moment?' The answer would be no."
She added with a laugh, "We were going to wait until, hopefully, the next few weeks to figure it out, but I didn't have to. So there you go!"
Charity admitted that she started having doubts about her future with Zach at the end of her hometown date.
"Right at hometowns, I feel like that's when things get really, really serious. You're meeting families and whatnot," Charity explained.
"But for me, I felt a little iffy after hometowns just because I feel like I could tell he wasn't all the way in, and then that, for me, indirectly had a play on my feelings and emotions."
When Charity got eliminated from The Bachelor, she appeared absolutely devastated.
"I don't have words. It doesn't make sense. It makes no f-cking sense to me," Charity lamented in her final words during a March 2023 episode.

"Sometimes that's just the way life goes, and it sucks. But it just means I'm one step closer to finding who I need to be with. My biggest fear is someone saying, 'I can't give you the love you deserve,' like, I don't know what that means. I don't know what it freaking means. Oh god."

Zach's Final 3 bachelorettes as a result were Ariel Frenkel, Gabi Elnicki and Kaity Biggar.
Zach ended up choosing Kaity as his winner, and the pair got engaged during his season finale of The Bachelor, which aired in March 2023.
Zach and Kaity tied the knot in May 2025, and they just bought a house together in Austin, TX, where they both happened to live prior to filming The Bachelor in late 2022.
"I feel like we are all good friends now. I can say [all] this with no bad blood," Charity noted.
Charity also apparently believes that Zach and Kaity's marriage is going to last forever.
"I'm really good friends with Kaity, and after seeing them two together in the real world, it's insane how compatible they are," Charity gushed.

Charity concluded that Zach and Kaity are "a great couple" and she loves them both.
Charity, meanwhile, found true love on her own season of The Bachelorette.
When Charity starred on Season 20 of The Bachelorette, she got engaged to her winner, Dotun Olubeko.
Charity and Dotun are currently planning their wedding and will celebrate their three-year anniversary in May 2026.
