Rumours were swirling all summer and tonight we might finally get to the bottom of why Clare’s season went downhill and had to ultimately quit the Bachelorette to be replaced with Tayshia Adams. For those of you who don’t know, Tayshia was second runner up in Colton’s season and appeared on Bachelor in Paradise 3 as well but both appearances did not work well with her. Here are 5 facts you may not know about the new Bachelorette:
1. She was previously married to Joshua Bourelle in 2016. They were married for only a year before filing for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences” in October 2017. She mentioned to Colton that he was her first boyfriend and judging from her dad’s comments from the hometown date, he seems to very much dislike her ex.
2. She worked as a phlebotomist. Before her time on the Bachelor, Tayshia was a graduate of Concordia University Irvin studying biology and had a real job working in medicine drawing samples of blood from patients. After the show, she had a change in career telling Vulture in 2019, “I’m not practicing phlebotomy anymore. I don’t know if I’ll go back into medicine. As much as I love it and went to school for it, my passion has always been in real estate, development, interior design and architecture.”
3. She hosts a podcast with Hannah Ann Sluss and Joe Amabile called the Click Bait podcast. Who would’ve thought to put these three together? But it somehow works! These former contestants followed the footsteps of Bachelor Alums by starting a podcast where they discuss pop culture news.
4. She had to relearn how to walk after being hit by a truck. On her podcast, Tayshia shared that she had a scary incident in her freshman year. “As I’m pushing the buttons to get my Skittles, I hear music,” she said. “Whenever I hear music I start dancing, and I see it’s my friend’s truck. I went out to go talk to them. I’m hanging on the window talking to them. They take my Skittles. Next thing you know, I’m like, ‘I’m gonna go. Have fun at the party,’ so I hop over the window to grab my Skittles back and I’m hanging on the truck.”
5. She is very close with her family. Often posting photos with her family members, we can tell the Adams tribe are real tight, especially with her younger brother. We sure hope her new fiancée will fit in!
