I think I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, and when I look back on everything that I learned and the ways I grew on the show, I think it brought me to somebody that has made my life better in ways I just could have never expected," she said "I just truly fell in love with my best friend.”
She shared a video of them together with the words "When you hard launch new boo" on TikTok and captioned it, "Never felt more alive than with you".
She later explained, ""During one of the hardest months of my life, I let my best friend do a photoshoot of me wearing my reunion dress. I’ve never felt comfortable in front of the camera let alone joyous in front of one. It’s so incredibly amazing to see the smile that this woman put on my face even as a friend in some of my darkest moments. Flash forward to today, this woman has taken absolutely every inch of space my heart has to give."
