The 20th season of The Bachelorette was like no other. Due to COVID-19 issues, they weren't
able to film at the iconic Bachelor mansion. Instead, producers opted to move the entire
cast and crew south to La Quinta. That's where Clare Crawley made her appearance; at 38,
Clare became the oldest Bachelorette in franchise history, but she made series history in more
ways than one. After only a few weeks, Clare declared she'd found her one, Dale Moss, and
the two departed the show to live their happily ever after, mid-season. Enter Tayshia Adams,
a fan favorite from The Bachelor who was called in to finish out the season.
Despite the rocky start and the weird circumstances surrounding 2020, Tayshia managed to find
love. In December 2020, on the season finale, Tayshia accepted Zac Clark's proposal after
a confusing split with Ivan Hall. Not that it matters, because Tayshia claims she ended
up exactly where she was supposed to: with Zac, and the two reportedly couldn't be happier.
According to Tayshia Adams, she knew something was different about Zac Clark the first time
she laid eyes on him.
Tayshia told People following the season finale,
"There was something I couldn't put my finger on. He had a mystery to him that I wanted
to get to know more about. And him having the coin for me to throw in the fountain on
the first night was simple and thoughtful. He tugged on my heartstrings with that!"
Zac felt just as drawn to Tayshia. He told the outlet,
"When she walked in the room, oh my God, the physical attraction was immediate. And in
our first interaction, I knew she was special."
So special that within a few weeks, he was ready to propose. Zac asked Tayshia to marry
him with a 3.25-carat diamond ring and she, of course, said yes.
Now that the season has wrapped and they've gotten the proposal out of the way, Zac and
Tayshia are ready to jump headfirst into the rest of their lives, starting with Tayshia's
move to New York City to be with Zac. Zac told People,
"We're going to get comfortable. And I'm going to date the heck out of her!"
Tayshia, meanwhile, is counting her blessings. She added,
"I can't wait to experience life with him by my side. It's been a really hard year for
everyone, including myself. But I'm so happy that I ended it with so much love."
Here's wishing the happy couple all the best.
So what's life-after-Bachelorette like for Tayshia Adams And Zac Clark? Although there
wasn't an After the Final Rose special offering fans more sweet details, it can be inferred
the lovebirds are moving ahead at full speed. Zac said during a December 23rd, 2020, episode
of the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast,
"Christmas, New Year's...we're going to be East."
...confirming they'll spend a lot of time enjoying New York City, where he has an apartment.
As for Tayshia's place in Los Angeles, California? Tayshia explained to People,
"I'll still have my place in California so we'll be bicoastal, but that's the plan!"
Additionally signaling the East Coast life might be for them, Zac told the Bachelor Happy
Hour co-hosts that there's, quote, "no return flight yet." He explained,
"We're just going to play it by ear."
Outside of living arrangements, the two have a lot to look forward to relationship-wise.
Zac gushed,
"I'm excited to date her and do some things that we would do in a typical relationship."
To which Tayshia chimed in,
"Just date me."
Aw! Zac also revealed that he's, quote, "so excited" to meet Tayshia's friends. Tayshia
agreed, sharing,
"That's gonna be huge, and vice-versa for me."
What's in store for Tayshia Adams and Zac Clark, wedding-wise? It seems the church bells
aren't chiming just yet, as the pair are in no rush to tie the knot. During an appearance
on Good Morning America on Dec. 23, 2020, Zac said with a grin,
"I want a big wedding when the day does come. She might think differently, she's gonna get
what she wants. The beautiful thing is all the reasons I fell in love with her on the
show remain true today just in our daily life."
Tayshia added that, quote, "sneaking around" in public while wearing face masks has made
their sudden celebrity a "tad bit easier."
Zac joked, "Cheers to Masks."
Ha!
Another reason they've moved to New York City? Zac is an addiction recovery specialist whose
recovery center, Release Recovery, is located there. Tayshia, who is a former phlebotomist,
told People,
"Zac has such a big heart and his line of work is just helping people. That's why I
got into the medical field, because I truly do enjoy helping people. If I could help in
any part with [the recovery center], that's a good partner to have by your side, working
together to help others."
Clearly, these two have a lot going for them. Here's to Tayshia and Zac!
