A close friend and former co-star of the latest star to headline a popular dating show has shared an exclusive glimpse into her true personality and what she’s genuinely looking for in a partner. Contrary to the glitz often associated with the role, the friend describes the leading lady as remarkably down-to-earth.
According to the insider, who starred alongside her in a reality series about entrepreneurial women, the new ‘Bachelorette’ is “very chill, very normal” and decidedly low-maintenance. “She may have to wear ball gowns for the ceremonies, but she’s going to be in sweatpants every chance she gets,” the friend revealed.
This authentic nature directly influences her search for love. The friend predicts that flashy, over-the-top attempts to win her favor will likely fall flat. Instead, she is expected to be drawn to a quieter, more genuine connection. “She’s looking for a normal guy,” the source explained. “Taylor’s probably going to go for the quiet guy in the room who’s not giving her any attention because she’s curious about them.”
Having never watched the show before, the ‘Bachelorette’ has been receiving coaching from her friend on how the process works. The advice has been focused on embracing the unique experience. “I told her, ‘You need to be in the moment and immerse yourself… Give your all to this moment because you could end up with someone, and it could be a life-changing experience,'” the friend shared.
This foray into a major dating show is part of a wave of ventures for the tight-knit group from their original series. Two other cast members are currently competing on a major network dance competition, with the friend cheering them on from the sidelines. She noted the intense physical toll the competition takes but encourages her friends to cherish the demanding journey.
Meanwhile, the friend is focusing on her own ventures, including a recent collaboration with a lifestyle brand that resulted in a limited-edition “Breadwinner” hat—a nod to the theme of their show. She hopes to launch another collaborative project in tandem with the upcoming new season of their series, which is set to premiere next month.
