Becca Kufrin: STILL Not Making Wedding Plans with Garrett Yrigoyen

We’re all entitled to make catastrophic, life-altering choices, and Becca Kufrin made hers. His name is Garrett Yrigoyen.

While debate rages over whether Becca and Garrett will really marry, they are still engaged.

And now Becca has come forward to share what that is like, and what the two have planned for the future.

In the new issue of Us Weekly, Becca Kufrin gushes about her engagement to Garrett Yrigoyen.

Becca says that “life has been a fun adventure” with Garrett by her side.

She admits that this (new) engagement has been “a huge adjustment” right after The Bachelorette and Arie before that and The Bachelor before that.

“Just being normal has been wonderful,” Becca says.

“We were just so ready for the show to be done airing,” Becca reveals. “Where we could finally be out in public.“

Recently, Becca and Garrett have been visiting Becca’s friends and family in Minnesota.

Garrett takes his turn to gush, saying that “her friends are a lot of fun.”

He shares that among their activities has been a Minnesota Twins game, the state fair, and a fishing trip on the Mississippi River.

“I caught my first walleye and smallmouth bass,” Garrett shares with pride. “It was fun.”

Garrett is such an avid fisherman that, though we don’t have a photo of that moment, it’s not difficult to find a fish photo.

Becca says that her hometown has welcomed her fiancee “with open arms.”

Sometimes, even a controversial man can find acceptance if he has a popular, likable woman on his arm.

But while the two have enjoyed visiting loved ones, they haven’t picked a spot to settle down.

“I don’t want to make a decision without exploring our options,” Becca explains.

That is a very sensible attitude!

The couple has also spent time Garrett’s hometown of Reno, Nevada.

And the two of them have discussed the idea of a potential move to L.A.

“I’m hoping by November or December we’ll have nailed down a place,” Becca admits.

That said, deciding on a place to live is not the same thing as making wedding plans.:

As Becca explains: “We really are still getting to know each other.”

It’s smart of her to be cautious. Clearly, from what she saw on The Bachelorette, she would never have guessed Garrett’s bigoted social media history.

As many entertainment news outlets pointed out when Garrett’s Instagram scandal broke, it wasn’t that he liked “conservative” posts contrary to Becca’s views.

The posts that he had “liked” on Instagram were outside of the bounds of decency. The posts were racist, transphobic, and misogynistic — among other things.

Garrett has apologised (for getting caught), but fans hope that Becca can come to understand who he truly is before it’s too late for them both to find partners compatible with their respective values.

Becca received a lot of sympathy from the Bachelor Nation after Arie Luyendyk Jr. humiliated her on television. A lot of fans feel for her and hope that she finds a better, less problematic man.

Others hope that Garrett really has changed his tune.

Becca Kufrin: I Can"t Wait to Procreate with Garrett Yrigoyen!

Based on past social media activity, Garrett Yrigoyen may or may not hate gay people and immigrants.

But two things are certain, in the eyes of his new fiancee:

1. Garrett is attractive.

2.  Becca Kufrin wants to have kids with him someday soon.

In the latest issue of People Magazine, Kufrin says it’s “surreal” to be engaged to Garrett, explaining how her journey has been “intense” and how a great deal of pressure has been relieved now that she can publicly gush over Yrigoyen.

When might the stars tie the knot?

“We’re just really enjoying our time together,” says Kufrin. “I don’t care if I have a short engagement or a long engagement. Just whatever feels right for us.”

Okay, fine.

When migh the stars have a child?

“We’re just going with the flow,” Garrett says. “We’re more excited about being able to walk down a street and go to Costco! Once we move in together [in Los Angeles] we’ll go from there.”

This is not helping, guys!

Give us something juicy, please.

On the topic of children, Kufrin added that she’s not in any kind of rush and that she’d be open to getting a dor or four first.

However, “of course I would love to be a mom,” she said, adding: “Not anytime super soon, but one day. Garrett will be a very hot dad!”

Yrigoyen, for his part, avoided combining Kufrin’s looks with her ability to parent, simply saying that when it comes to procreating:

“I know that Becca would make a wonderful mother. She’s very strong and supportive and confident, and has great morals. I would love to have a kid someday.”

Kufrin selected Yrigoyen as her life partner this past Monday night to conclude an intense two-hour finale.

In reality, of course, she selected him several weeks ago, but viewers only just found out when the episode aired.

The medical sale rep responded to his championship by presenting the publicist with a nearly four-carat Neil Lane engagement ring, estimated to be worth between $ 18,000 and $ 20,000.

“I can only hope that people support my decision, cause at the end of the day I had to follow my heart,” Kufrin told reporters on a conference call of choosing Yrigoyen, who came under fire in May for Liking offensive content on social media.

He apologized shortly after those posts went viral this spring.

And then he apologized again after the Season 14 finale aired.

“Hopefully people can stay open-minded to her decision,” Yrigoyen told the press on this same conference call.

The question now, of course, is whether Becca and Garrett will ever make it down the aisle?

They are saying all the right things, but let’s face: Don’t ALL Bachelor and Bachelorette couples say the right things at first?

Sound off below and let us know:

Do you think Becca Kufrin and Garrett Yrigoyen will get married?

Yes, they are meant to be!LOL, of course not!

Becca Kufrin and Garrett Yrigoyen: Will They Get Married?

Becca Kufrin and Garrett Yrigoyen swear their love is real.

They promise they will buck the tradition.

The reality stars, engaged after season finale of The Bachelorette, vow to one day exchange vows, saying on record that they truly will get married at some point down the line.

But we hope they’ll forgive us for having a few doubts.

It’s just that… no couples ever get married after meeting on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette. Almost no couples, that is.

Once the cameras stop rolling on these twosomes, and their dates start centering more around the local movie theater than some ABC-sponsored trip to a tropical island, reality usually sets in.

And the engagement gets called off.

Will Becca and Garrett be different? Will they make it down the aisle? Below, our staff weighs in on the weightiest of questions.

HELL NO by Tyler Johnson

Any time there’s a question of whether or not a Bachelor or Bachelorette couple will actually get and stay married, the smart money is on “hell no.”

The franchise has an almost-unbelievably horrendous track record when it comes to creating relationships that actually last longer than the petals on the final rose.

At this point, both series thrive on the viewers’ suspension of disbelief, sort of like when we pretend professional wrestling is real, or the winner of any TV singing competition actually has a shot in hell at becoming famous.

Anyway, the question of whether or not Becca Kufrin and Garrett Yrigoyen will ever get married deserves not an actual answer, but instead a blank stare of disbelief.

There’s a better chance of Donald Trump having a Mexican holiday named after him (La Fiesta de la Naranja Estupida?) than of these two ever saying “I do.

It’s day one of the world knowing that Becca and Garrett are engaged, and dude is already defending himself for being a bigoted goober on social media.

And his explanation for liking memes that mock transgender people and school shooting survivors is that he didn’t know how Instagram works.

So he’s both a douche and a dumbass. Double threat guy!

Becca has reluctantly defended Garrett’s actions, but her words had a slight “what did I get myself into?” tinge.

We think it’s safe to say this isn’t the most promising start.

So yeah, Becca and Garrett might be the perfect name for a boring couple that you meet at a barbecue and then immediately forget, but this relationship won’t last until the 2019 grilling season.

GOD NO by Simon Delott

Seeing Becca make such a colossally terrible romantic decision really made me wonder if she and Arie were perfect for each other, after all.

Because Becca and Garrett sure as hell are not.

The strongest force pushing Becca towards sticking with Garrett long enough to walk down the aisle together is probably just … shame.

She would feel ashamed if she dumped her fiance after she was so famously and brutally dumped by Arie.

She went into this role as the leading lady determined to make the right choice the first time and to not turn herself into one of the franchise’s greatest villains.

Backing out before the wedding would mean giving up, and maybe she’s not willing to do that.

Because she and Garrett hadn’t already split before the finale aired, maybe she’s stubborn enough to make it to the altar.

On the other hand, despite having chosen Garrett, Becca isn’t stupid.

Even if she didn’t know that his social media history shows him to be a huge bigot, the Bachelor Nation has been roasting Garrett for the way that he talks about her with “kindergarten language.”

And then there’s his previous marriage, which was to a woman who looks eerily like Becca and also only lasted for two months.

Maybe Becca’s a sucker for a dorky smile or maybe their pheromones really click, but whatever it is about Garrett that wormed its way into Becca’s heart, it cannot be enough.

They are simply not compatible.

Becca has to wake up one day and realize that it’s not worth ruining her life just to prove to Arie that she can stick with her choice.

LOL NO by Hilton Hater

My answer is summed up in the two-word introduction above, alongside my pen name.

I’d write more on the topic, but I am currently laughing out loud at the prospect of Becca and Garrett getting married.

Those who don’t learn from history are destined to repeat it… and Becca is therefore destined to repeat hers.

Or at least the mistakes all of other franchise leads who believed you could fall in true love with cameramen standing six feet away at all times.

This ceremony is not going to happen.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? by Free Britney

Reason number one of several hundred that it’s hard to envision Becca Kufrin walking down the aisle with Garrett Yrigoyen?

The picture above. That’s Garrett’s ex-wife Kayla, who’s basically a Becca doppelganger, when she married him years ago.

Think he’s hung up on her at all? Maybe?

All kidding aside, Bachelor franchise couples face steep odds (and the real world) even under the best of circumstances.

These are not that.

Garrett carries himself like Mr. All-American Wonderful on TV and says the right thing in pretty much every situation. It’s uncanny.

That’s likely because it’s fake.

Yrigoyen comes across as a terrific salesman, a guy who knows what to say and when to say it to please his audience.

In this case, it was Becca. But his Instagram activity reveals someone who at least “Likes” things TV Garrett would abhor.

Also, Blake Horstmann was simply a better choice. If Becca didn’t realize that while watching this season, then she’s blind.

YOUR TURN: Vote below!

Yes, they are meant to be!LOL, of course not!

Becca Kufrin Looks EXACTLY Like Garrett Yrigoyen"s Ex-Wife!

If you were already following The Bachelorette Spoilers, then Becca"s fateful choice was no surprise. But that doesn"t mean that it was any easier to watch Blake Horstmann get blindsided.

On top of Garrett Yrigoyen"s Instagram bigotry scandal (he"s super sorry) and the fact that he talks like a kindergartener, the Bachelor Nation found a new issue with Becca"s choice.

Check out our video and decide for yourself: Does Becca look exactly like Garrett"s ex-wife? And if so, what does that mean?

Back when we were first introducing you to Becca Kufrin"s men, we mentioned that Garrett Yrigoyen (or someone with his exact same name in that same city) had been married a few years earlier.

As it turns out, that marriage was to a woman named Kayla.

That marriage lasted for all of two months.

As a lot of members of the Bachelor Nation pointed out on social media during the finale, a marriage that brief is probably a red flag.

Well, fans have also pointed out that there"s something much weirder about Garrett"s last marriage than just its brevity.

Take a look at two images that a fan on Twitter paired up:

Guys … she looks just like Becca.

Becca and Kayla have the same dark hair — which, in and of itself, isn"t a huge deal.

They also have similar skin tones, but given Garrett"s abhorrently bigoted social media history, most fans don"t expect him to have a huge variety of skin tones in his dating history.

But they also have similar facial structures, right down to eyebrows and jawlines.

Oh, and they have very similar eyes.

Honestly? We"re not even sure what to do with this information. 

Garrett was a suitor, so it"s less unnerving than it would be if he had been the Bachelor and singled out the contestant who looks like a clone of his ex-wife.

"Guys…this is Garrett’s ex-wife," one fan wrote about Kayla. "Who do you think she looks like?"

"Becca looks so much like Garrett ex-wife that it’s giving me chills," another confessed.

While we"re sure that it didn"t help that fans already disliked Garrett, this is admittedly a little eerie.

"Plot twist: we haven’t heard from Garrett ex-wife bc she actually is Becca," one Bachelor aficionado joked.

"Garrett is still in love with his ex," another theorized. "It’s obvious because Becca looks just her. But really, they’re twins."

"So uh… Garrett’s ex-wife looks like a stand-in for Becca," tweeted another. "And Becca’s ex looks like Garrett."

That line, of course, refers to Becca"s ex-boyfriend from Minneapolis and not to Arie. 

Say what you will about Garrett, but he does not look like Arie.

If you think that fans are blowing all of this out of proportion, feel free to watch the wedding video that we have included and decide for yourself.

If you agree with the Bachelor Nation, it might look a bit like a preview of Garrett and Becca"s wedding.

Assuming that those two somehow make it that far, that is. A lot of folks don"t believe that these two will quite make it downt he aisle.

Honestly? We suspect that Becca resembling Kayla is mostly just a coincidence.

 

But that doesn"t mean that there aren"t other issues with this relationship.

Blake Horstmann: I Was Blindsided, Broken by Becca Kufrin

Blake Horstmann will live to love another day.

For awhile, however, it didn’t feel that way.

On Monday evening, the world got to witness what Blake went through many months ago while filming the season finale of The Bachelorette.

That is, we got to witness his total and complete heartbreak at the hands of Becca Kufrin.

Despite being a seemingly very nice guy, and despite never having Liked anti-immigrant and anti-transgender Instagram posts, like certain other suitors, Blake was sent home last night.

He didn’t take the dismissal well, either, crying pretty hard in from the Kufrin and the camera.

Can you blame the guy? The woman he believed to be his soulmate decided she wants someone else to propose to her instead.

That has to hurt.

“It was a big blindside,” Horstmann tells People Magazine, explaining that he saw himself as the favorite and that he was all set to pop the big question:

“I truly thought that if it came down to me proposing, that she wouldn’t say no. I thought what we had was real.”

We really are sorry, Blake.

If it’s any consolation, and we have no idea why it would be to be honest, we were totally rooting for you.

After being given the boot by Becca, Horstmann confesses it was “incredibly hard” to get over the heartbreak.

“It made for some really hard days, but I had a great support system,” he added to People.

“My family was amazing. We talked through a lot of things and they were there for me.”

We’re so glad to hear this. At the end of the day, nothing is more important than family.

Thankfully, Blake said that filming the After the Rose special (which also aired on ABC last night) allowed for some “closure” and that he won’t be pursuing Kufrin any longer.

“She’s an engaged woman and I want to respect that,” he says.

“And she’s very happy and I’m grateful for that. There’s no point in focusing on it when there is no future there.”

How true.

But what about Blake’s future on reality television?

It must be asked: Would he be willing to be the next Bachelor?

“I know this can work and if the opportunity presented itself, it would be something I would consider,” Horstmann says.

Oh, Becca: Did you really make the right choice when you selected Garrett over Blake?

Last year, Arie Luyendyk Jr. wasn’t named as the new Bachelor until a month after the previous Bachelorette season concluded.

So we may have a little bit until we learn whether Blake or another scorned suitor lands this sought-after role.

Would you want to see Horstmann as the Bachelor? Or would you prefer Jason Tartick?

The Bachelorette Finale Recap: Who Did Becca Kufrin Choose?

The Bachelorette just aired an iconic 14th season finale, and we can confirm what The Bachelorette spoilers foretold months ago:

Becca Kufrin is engaged!! But to whom?

Viewers have waited all summer (whether you read Bachelorette spoilers or not) to see how this thing ends for beautiful, sweet Becca.

For Garrett Yrigoyen and Blake Horstmann, this is what they’ve fought for: To be the last man standing, holding a Neil Lane ring.

After what was, by and large, a fairly conventional season, might an epic twist still be in the works, After the Final Rose style?

To channel our inner Chris Harrison for a moment … this was NOT the most anticipated, controversial finale in Bachelorette history.

But it wasn’t half bad.

The beautiful Minnesotan spent 11 weeks paring down 25 suitors to just two. The two handsome men standing before her this evening.

So would she give the final rose to Garrett Yrigoyen, the once-divorced, instant frontrunner with the shady Instagram history?

Or would it go to Blake Horstmann, who has emerged as the dark Horst (sorry) over the past couple of episodes especially?

Both gentlemen met her family as Becca struggled with what could be the most difficult, consequential decision of her life.

Who does she see a brighter future with – and can she trust that person with her heart, especially after what happened with Arie?

So which guy got the rose? And Becca said all along that she got engaged, but has it lasted? Is she still engaged right now?

Man alive, The Bachelorette producers sure can cut a slick finale, keeping us guessing and methodically ratcheting up the drama.

In the end, though, they can only do their best with the material Becca gives them, and there was no major shocker in store:

Becca Kufrin is engaged to Garrett Yrigoven.

Yes, the first impression rose recipient many weeks ago is now Becca’s fiance, having proposed (she said yes) at the end of the night.

That doesn’t mean he was a lock, though.

The finale focused hardcore on Becca’s “second thoughts” (again, those producers are good) and Blake really bringing his A-game.

Maybe it was editing, or maybe it was just his feelings and their chemistry peaking at the right time, but Horstmann made it a contest.

Just when you thought no one could match Garrett’s connection with Becca – and Becca’s family – Blake came awfully darn close.

His final date, capped off by that amazing scrapbook, seemed to push Becca over the edge … or at least right up to the edge.

Not unlike his competition, he started to look like a 50-50 partner, the kind she’s been dreaming of, and hoping he would be.

As such, she was 50-50 when it came to the two guys, or so it seemed. Sadly, there could be only one, and Blake lost out.

Rough. Holy cow that was … wow.

That’s all we can say about that Blake breakup. Yeesh. It’s never easy to watch that sort of thing, but this one was super bad.

He got through that whole speech and everything. She just stood there, Gone are the days when the show lets them off easy, apparently.

Say what you will about reality shows, the pain on Blake’s face was pretty real, and Becca’s too for that matter. That was just painful.

Guy was legit trembling out there.

Even on the LIVE After the Final Rose special, it wasn’t much better. From the look on Blake’s face, you’d think it had just happened.

That’s love. That’s love.

The Bachelorette: Are Becca Kufrin and (Spoiler) Still Engaged?!

As with any season, there have been plenty of Bachelorette spoilers, rumors and teasers leading up to the finale in a few weeks.

Specifically, however, there’s recent chatter that leading lady Becca Kufrin will change her mind after the finale and change fiances.

How’s that for irony?

We all know what happened on The Bachelor, so the idea of Becca pulling an Arie after the same thing happened to her is choice.

Some supposed insiders have claimed that Kufrin has started to feel regret regarding the choice she made at her final rose ceremony.

According to The Bachelorette spoilers kingpin Reality Steve, though, she may well have regrets … but there’s no sign of a switcheroo.

Not yet, at least.

Obviously, spoiler alert … Jason Tartick, Blake Horstmann and Garrett Yrigoyen are the final three men standing this season.

Becks is set to oust Jason this coming week, then picks Garrett over Blake and will be leaving the Maldives engaged to him.

Then comes the big speculation, especially given the controversy regarding Garrett’s social media activity prior to the series.

Without a doubt, that poses an obstacle for a duo that – like any other to leave the show engaged – faces steep odds already.

But it hasn’t broken them.

Becca and Garrett are still together and engaged, according to Steve, who has heard nothing about a breakup between the pair.

Moreover, he’s heard nary a word about Blake Horstmann since the finale wrapped, so it seems unlikely that they’re still in touch.

“Nowhere in that story,” Steve writes of the report,” does it ever say that she actually is going to or has pulled an Arie.”

“Nowhere,” he repeats. “It’s not in there. It’s click bait to get you to read. Becca has not and is not going back to Blake.”

Of course, that only pertains to whether they’re broken up right now (they’re not) and whether Blake is involved (he isn’t).

Doubts she may have in the aftermath of the season, perhaps upon realizing that Garrett is not what she envisioned?

That’s a viable hypothetical, and will sure make for an interesting end to the summer, as Garrett’s apology isn’t going to cut it.

Becca seemed to back him up in her many damage control comments throughout the season, but the worst is yet to come.

His prior Instagram posts may not seem like a big deal, but it sheds light on what appear to be major differences in values.

Moreover, not all fans read or fully believe The Bachelorette spoilers, so him winning may still come as a surprise to many.

Those fans may then learn about the Instagram scandal for the first time, as the media will certainly waste no time bringing it up.

Yeah. It’ll be interesting to say the least.

The scrutiny is always intense when it comes to Bachelor or Bachelorette winners, and this increases tenfold After the Final Rose.

For Becca Kufrin and Garrett Yrigoyen, expect a lot of hard questions, which may push them to the brink of a breakup.

Unless she pulls an Arie, of course. Not that we’re expecting that by any means, but … hey, we weren’t from Arie either.

Okay, we sort of were. But just saying.

Rachel Lindsay: If Becca Kufrin Picks Garrett, She Owes The World an Apology!!

If you follow The Bachelorette Spoilers, you already know who Becca Kufrin picks. If not … you must be on the edge of your seat with worry.

Major concerns are that Becca will choose Garrett Yrigoyen, whose bigoted social media history was exposed … but after the finale was filmed.

Well, Rachel Lindsay is no stranger to being Bachelorette or to having a bigoted suitor. And she has some advice for Becca if Garrett is her man.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay has advice for Becca — if she should choose Garrett as her fiance.

“I want to hear more than just an apology,” Rachel says, speaking for a large swathe of the Bachelor Nation.

Garrett apologized for his hateful posts, but a lot of fans felt that he was just sorry that he was caught.

Rachel explains that an apology isn’t enough: “I want to hear an explanation.”

If Becca does choose Garrett — who was one to watch from the first day and who has now made it to the very end — Becca won’t want this cloud hanging over her engagement.

“They have to talk about it,” Rachel advises.

Rachel talks about why Becca, in particular, will need to explain why she’s engaged to Garrett — especially after Becca defended Garrett.

“Becca’s a liberal,” Rachel points out. “And the things he was liking were very conservative, far right.”

Rachel thinks better of her words and corrects her characterization of the content that Garrett was enjoying on Instagram.

Rachel adds that it was “more than conservative [and] a little offensive.”

As multiple bloggers commented when it first broke the news, the material that Garrett seemed to love so much transcended party lines.

View Slideshow: Garrett Yrigoyen: Bachelorette Suitor’s Bigoted Social Media History EXPOSED

“So,” Rachel says. “I think they need to address it now.”

You don’t want this kind of thing to follow you to your wedding day. Assuming that Becca makes it that far with whichever new man she chooses.

Rachel says that Becca should step up “and have a game plan of how they’re going to face the media.”

“People will read through the BS,” Rachel warns.

So she cautions them: “Don’t try to cover it up and put a Band-Aid on it.”

“Just say what you did, why you did it,” Rachel advises. “People will forgive you.”

Rachel even delves into how she would address the situation if Bryan Abasolo had been exposed as a bigot.

“[I would handle it] probably the same way I did with Lee,” Rachel says.

Lee was, of course, a contestant on her season. She was the franchise’s first-ever black Bachelorette, and Lee … well, Lee was racist.

“I addressed it,” Rachel reminds the world. “I said, ‘If you need a history lesson, I can give you one backstage.’ That’s how I would deal with it.”

Of course, Lee absolutely did not make it to the end of Rachel’s season. Garrett is another story.

Rachel says that, if she were in Becca’s shos, “I would have to address it head-on and I’d be pretty tough about it.”

People had a lot of concerns about Rachel Lindsay’s own choice last year.

As you may recall, she picked Bryan Abasolo, whom many people perceived as a liar who would say whatever she wanted to hear, over Peter Kraus.

But Rachel and Bryan are still together and seem happy. Sometimes, people do know what’s best for themselves.

Perhaps Becca sees something in Garrett that the rest of us, who have known for quite a while what sort of man he is beneath the surface, do not.

But … regardless, they’re going to need to face this head-on.
