Have we already found our next Bachelorette? Seems so! According to a report, Caila Quinn was spotted in her hometown of Hudson, Ohio this past week filming for the new season of The Bachelorette.
The news broke less than a week after Caila’s departure from the show on Feb. 29. Viewers last saw Caila surprise Ben after their fantasy suite date week, hoping to get some more time in with the man she just confessed to being in love with before being sent home in a devastating turn of events.
Despite Ben breaking Bachelor rules and confessing his love for not just one, but two contestants last week, he wasn’t able to get there with her. “With Caila, I just wasn’t able to say it. There’s just something missing,” he explained.
Caila was clearly shocked, having been positive Ben was returning her same feelings. After being put in the car the first time, she jumped back out to get closure.
“I distinctly remember [...] crying to myself, saying, 'That cannot be the end. I refuse for that to be the way I say goodbye to him,' because it felt very cold,” she explained of her second conversation with the Bachelor regarding when he knew he couldn’t return the feelings and if it was before their night together. “I think I needed to hear that from him and just have that genuine moment, and that last hug felt like enough for me, so it was good."
According to Us Weekly, however, all was well with Quinn as of the Women Tell All taping. “I don’t have any feelings of resentment and no regrets, as well,” she told them.
ABC has yet to comment.
