they did what?! Celeb News & Gossip
On Tuesday night's "The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose" special, Jillian Harris and her fiancé Ed dished on how soon they plan to walk down the aisle -- plus, Jillian shared emotional words with two of her heartbroken suitors, Kiptyn and Reid. Read on for the full recap!
Before she was reunited on TV with Ed, Jillian first shared the couch with Kiptyn, who on the show's season finale approached "The Bachelorette" with an engagement ring in pocket but was turned down.
"What could I have done differently?" Kiptyn asked Jillian on the couch. "You didn't do anything wrong," Jillian responded, voice wavering with emotion. "You're somebody that made me feel very loved."
Kiptyn accepted Jillian's answer but admitted earlier that the rejection was "crushing."
Next, host Chris Harrison brought out Reid, who made a surprising return from elimination -- and an even more shocking proposal to Jillian -- on the show's finale.
"When I came back, was there a part of you that wanted to say 'yes'?" Reid asked Jillian on the couch. She replied: "I think you know I knew that when I let you go I wasn't ready to let you go."
She then thanked him for returning on the finale, but confessed that having to reject him was "heartwrenching." "I still feel hurt and I don't want him to hurt," she said. Reid, for his part, said he thought his surprise proposal would be a "slam dunk."
Finally, Jillian and her true love Ed shared the couch -- not to mention several smooches. Ed revealed that Jillian is planning to move in to his downtown Chicago pad soon. He then predicted they will get married within the next 12 months.
"It feels good so far, and I'm just excited to really get out there [together]," the 29-year-old technology consultant said of life with Jillian. He added they'd only been apart about five days total so far this summer.
"I'm in a very good place right now," said a bubbly Jillian. "I'm so lucky."
