When I first met old it was just an instant connection and attraction
He's the type of man. I want to end up with
prior to coming on to this
In January, I had a relationship with TIA
But the timing wasn't right. I'm really struggling here. Of course
I'm gonna hope that he's here for me and that he didn't come into this hoping it was TIA I
Cannot move forward with him until I do sit down and have a child. Are you ready for this for me? Yes
Emotions that I feel are so strong
it's there like the potential is there and I think it was very
Important to start this with honesty and openness because I don't think you had that in your last relationship
Overcoming that obstacle at this stage so early on is so telling to future obstacles
It feels so good to finally
Be able to move forward with Colton. That's so attractive
About coach
I'm glad to hear every time that we've been together so far. Our relationship has grown
I want that to continue and I want that to last forever
But you know
I still have to have a tough conversation through and I'm a little anxious a little nervous to see how she reacts to it
I still am I am a virgin
Really?
Yeah, I'm not waiting for marriage. I'm waiting for the right heart. I
Would never judge you or think any less of you for that?
You opening up about something so raw and vulnerable is hard
But that's all I want to see because I want to keep on traveling you
The reassurance that she's given me of why she appreciates Who I am is a good feeling and today seeing this is my family. I
Know that I'm in love with you
I think that there is a great future for us and
We're only gonna keep getting stronger so I can't wait to see what's to come
Garrett
After spending day with kids and after spending a day with my family
That's when like I knew like you were special
Shocked
I'm just confused because I felt if I go
And it's just hard when you don't get loved back
Looking at that how surprised for you that night after the hometowns that she said. Goodbye
I was as confident as anyone could have been and I had a conversation about talking about next week
So I wasn't even thinking in my head, you know, I was going home that night
I was so caught off guard. I was so confused. And you know, I was lost for words
Do you still stand behind that statement of you were in love with Becky? Yeah, that was real hundred percent. I mean I challenge any
decent human being to spend the time that I spent with Becca and to see who she is and not fall in love because
You know
I wasn't even thinking about to you
We all moved on the last time I spoke to Tia was at the spa day
I was so focused and so invested in my relationship with Beckett and I hate to call it a red flag
But I mean Becca, she's looking for any type of signs from any of the guys of you know
who's gonna be here for me for the rest of my life and the fact that one of her best friends came back and
Spoke her truth. I can't fault you for that
But you know, it was tough to hear and just to clear up your side of this for everybody
What was your relationship with Tia? Yeah, I know on the show
I called it a relationship because the fact of the matter anytime you you know you talk with somebody you have a relationship, right?
so I
Spent time with her before The Bachelor actually even aired this is before the bachelor talked about re season
Yeah, and she knew that I was going on to the Bachelorette
She knew that I was a finalist for the show, and she was encouraging of it
so I had no clue that she still had those feelings and I she would come back a
lot of tough conversations you had to have
Another one was about your virginity
and
I know the reason you brought it up is you wanted to share this with the woman you were falling in love with how do
You feel Becca responded
Publicly speaking. She you know, she caught some heat for getting up and leaving the table
but for me
She knew how hard of a conversation that was for me that she wanted to really take the time to
Gather her thoughts and articulate something back to me. That was just as meaningful
So I didn't view that as disrespect and I know that Becca can speak to this when she comes out
But I know for a fact she did respect that very much
How difficult was that to?
Essentially broadcast so not just Becca but to everybody
I think that's something that for me was the hardest thing I've ever had to to in my life. I mean
It's hard for me to even talk by right now
but growing up in
You know being an athlete it's something that I was ashamed of because it was so openly talked about
You know in our community
So I made up a lot of Lies and I hid it and I was ashamed of it. So even being up here tonight
And getting cheap shots thrown at me about being a because I haven't seen one that
Hurts because when I hear that, I believe it and I feel like people think I'm less of a man because of that
That's the hardest thing for me here
I mean, it's just something as an athlete, you know
You build this this wall up that you don't let your opponents you sweat and you don't you don't let anybody get to you
But the fact is you know
You hold a lot of things in for a lot a long time in your life and it gets to you
It's not that I hold it above anybody else, sir. I makes me a better person. It's just part of who I am and
It's sort of sad that dispute as baggage
Or a red flag or skeletons in a closet and I think that you know, I hope hopefully it's something that's respected
So I can't continue to try to speak my truth
Cold and I respect you for being true to yourself. I respect that a lot
Sometimes you get called out for it
So I see you
Well, I really respect you coming and having once again another tough conversation baring your soul and your perspective on all this
So you guys show some love for my man here cold?
