AceShowbiz - Just right before Becca Kufrin is about to start her journey in the upcoming new season of "The Bachelorette", her ex-fiancee Arie Luyendyk Jr. steals the spotlight by announcing his and fiancee Lauren Burnham's wedding date. However, Becca shares that she wishes nothing but the best for the race car driver.
Talking about the timing of the wedding announcement which Aried dubs "perfect moment," Becca says in a conference call, "I'm truly happy and I do wish them the best." She continues saying that while she's been "focused on my journey," she stays in touch with Arie and Lauren "a bit."
When asked if she would be invited to the couple's wedding, she says, "I don't know if they'd invite me [to their wedding], but I guess, yeah, if they want me there, I'd want to share in their love, because I truly do wish them nothing but happiness."
The hesitation is understandable as Bachelor Nation may still remember Arie's brutal breakup with Becca in his season of "The Bachelor". Arie ended their relationship in front of camera just weeks after he proposed to her at the end of the season in order to pursue her love for runner-up Lauren.
But Becca is moving on just fine as she recently revealed that she's now happily engaged to one of the contestants on "The Bachelorette". In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, she says that she fell in love with two men while filming her season, before finally chosing her final pick.
"I did develop really strong feelings for a couple of them and I did fall for two guys at the end, yes," Becca confirms. However, she refuses to reveal whether she actually tells both men she's in love with them, adding, "You'll have to wait and see."
"I wanted to go through the entire season doing me, and treating these guys with respect," she explains. "So I will say that I tried to do that the entire journey."
She also shares that after doing "The Bachelorette", she somehow symphatizes with Arie and his struggle in making a decision. "Until you're in this position, you don't realize how much pressure there really is, and how difficult it is to navigate certain relationships," she opens up. "Because if you're doing it right, you should be developing feelings for multiple people to really sift through every personality, every relationship, to exhaust the ones that aren't right for you."
She also gushes over her mystery fiance, saying, "[I love] so many things [about him]. Just that he put up with me through the entire journey." She also adds, "It feels so different [fom when she was with Arie] because the relationship and the guy is different. And this time, it feels better suited for me, it's like this better fit for me and what I need in my life. And I am willing to do anything it takes to make it work to support my partner."
"I better [marry him]," she jokes. "He better marry me."
"The Bachelorette" returns for a new season on Monday, May 28 at 8 P.M. ET on ABC.
