She chose to focus on her businesses.
Harris' foray into HGTV wasn’t her first time on TV.
Harris was first a contestant on Season 13 of “The Bachelor” in 2009.
In that season, the women contestants competed for the heart of Jason Mesnick.
In a 2020interview with Chris Harrison, she had nothing but kind things to say about Mesnick.
They remained friends, and she even decorated the nursery for Mesnick’s youngest child Riley.
Harris answered questions about “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” in aYouTubevlog.
“First of all, it’s a TV show.
It’s a business,” Harris said.
Producers give a shot to get the reactions they want from contestants.
The meddling didn’t end there.
While on “The Bachelorette,” producers sometimes wouldn’t let Harris eliminate who she wanted.
Eventually, she moved on and found love with Justin Pasutto.
Pasutto and Harris have been engaged since 2016 and they got engaged again in 2020!
They have two children, Leo and Annie.
The producers' goal is good TV, but that didn’t sink in for Harris until afterward.
In a 2019 “Where Are They Now?”
Harris also has a family that she loves.
You know, happily ever after so far."
