Please welcome Julian and Ed!
I'm not near as nervous as I was last time.
I know!
The last time I saw you, was it right before you got it?
And then I said you should get it.
Yeah!
I Think you have a little inside--
you have an inside with these guys.
No, I don't.
I actually just kind of spot things and go, ooh,
she'd be good.
That would be-- you're adorable.
And I was thinking--
Thank you.
--you deserve that.
OK, Ed.
Oh, god!
Hi, Ellen!
OK.
So this is just-- first of all, you've got to know.
You're entering in-- you're on television.
You're on a reality show.
We're going to know everything about you,
and stuff is going to come out.
And then you're on the covers of all these magazines.
And what do you say?
Well--
I mean, the report is you had two girlfriends
during this whole time.
So you know--
Well, yeah, so in every sense of the word,
I was a bachelor before I went on the show, Ellen.
Sure.
I absolutely was.
And I am not perfect.
I am a human being.
And we had some ups and downs in our relationship.
Who's we?
We did, together.
Throughout the show and post.
So he was honest with you, since you've
learned a lot more than probably we know.
And it's your business, really.
Yeah, and it definitely has not been
the fantasy I think that everybody sees out there.
And I think that's what a lot of people
have problems with is that it goes from being
so perfect to not so perfect.
Sure.
I'm sure a lot of people want to know all the details
about our relationship.
Mm-hmm.
But there are some things that we
don't want to share with the public
and that we worked out together.
I understand that.
You have to understand, though, you become
like a soap opera for us.
You really do.
Sure.
We get involved.
We watch every week.
So we owe--
No, you don't owe us anything.
But unfortunately, it comes with being on television.
You all of a sudden become this personality
that we are either rooting for Jillian,
make sure you're with the right guy, and you bad dog. well, I
Can tell you that she--
[LAUGHTER]
Jillian is one of the most intelligent women
I've ever met in my life.
Oh, thank you.
And I highly doubt that she would ever
be with someone that is not a good person.
Right.
So she's super smart, very keen on what's going on.
So I can tell you that we have been
very clear with each other.
We know the truth about what happened.
And that's really all--
That's all that matters.
Really, it does.
Mm-hmm.
It definitely is interesting because you sign up
for something.
And you really-- the first time I signed up for it,
I didn't really know if I liked Jason a lot,
but I knew it would be a great adventure.
And I thought maybe I'll be that girl in the end.
And I think when he signed up for it, too,
I don't think he was really into me.
And he thought maybe it'll be a great adventure.
And this is the amazing thing that gets to come with it,
is getting to meet somebody as incredible as you
and getting to share our story with everybody
and to tell everybody how grateful we
are for all the good things that have happened
and to remind everybody that we're human.
And with good sometimes, there's bad.
And sometimes there's roller coasters.
So obviously, there's some girls that are hurt.
And they were trying to reveal emails or whatever.
And because you get vindictive.
You get mad.
And you're like, how dare you break my heart?
And here's what he was really doing.
And so there's some hurt women out there that
are trying to retaliate maybe.
I don't know what motivates someone
to do something like this.
I certainly did not have the impression that this would ever
happen because of--
I did have dialogue with these women.
And I know them pretty well.
And to me, it seemed like there was another motivation there.
But I don't know what would have caused all of that.
No, and you never know.
And you never know if sometimes people regret their actions
or if they're proud of them.
But that's not what's important to him
and I. What was important to him and I is,
how is our mom and dad doing?
How is your mom and dad doing?
And how are you doing?
What's the truth?
OK, let's move on.
Now, are you all living together yet?
Because you're going to go to Chicago, right?
Are you in Chicago yet?
We just packed up her stuff in Vancouver this past weekend.
And next week.
So you're moving in next week for him in Chicago?
Next week.
We spent the whole summer together.
But it's going to take--
we're moving in permanently next week.
Yeah, that's another level of, oh, what's this?
Yeah.
Because then you're living-- and then are you engaged?
Is there a date set?
Oh, yeah.
Did you watch the show, Ellen?
[LAUGHS]
Yes, I did.
But you can say that on the show,
but then you can prolong it forever.
And that's actually a good question
because that's just one of these things that--
this engagement, we feel for us, is
very different than any typical engagement.
One of the things my dad told me was, you know,
Jill, you're not walking down the aisle,
but you're engaging to start a new life with each other.
We both would love to get married within the next year
and a half.
But what's more important is living together,
adopting a dog, joining charities and working
together and family functions.
And then saying, OK, let's try to do this
at a more normal people rate now.
Instead of one day at a time, it's more like one
year or month at a time.
Yeah, well, good.
Well, yeah, now you're kind of in the real world.
And you'll figure this out.
But you're a cute couple.
And I hope it works out.
And it really is hard because you put yourself out there.
And of course, there are going to be
people that have opinions.
And you're on covers of magazines,
and you've got a lot of people that
are going to immediately think negatively
instead of just hopeful.
And sometimes--
We want everyone to know that we are extremely happy
and in love.
[LAUGHS]
[APPLAUSE]
Well, you're a cute couple.
Thank you.
