“Therefore, to stay true to that, I need to be open and honest with you in order to heal and move on.

“John and I had something incredibly special. We fell for each other in Paradise, and everything was a whirlwind after that. 

“When the show ended, I truly went back to Maryland to see if what we had was something we could build on without cameras, a production crew, and without feeling any pressure: to simply figure things out on our own terms. 

“We are the best of friends and will continue to remain in each other’s life because regardless of the situation, we make each other happy,” she concluded.
