This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast with iHeartRadio.

Hey guys, welcome to another episode of the Home Most Famous podcast.

Will Ben is settling home, I believe today from his trip to Italy.

We have our producer, Heather Mundy.

She is going to be filling in for him today as we go through headlines.

And I love this because Heather has so many good bachelor opinions.

This is so welcome to the show, Heather, You're always here, but welcome on air.

Thank you Ashley for having me.

Normally I'm testing you on the side during these things, but now you get to hear my thoughts in real time.

Yes, so so happy.

So we have a huge announcement.

The biggest one came while we were about to hit record on this podcast.

Jojo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers are about to have their first baby, Baby Rogers, coming January twenty twenty six, and she mentioned the first line of the Instagram caption she said, I love you so much already, our sweet rainbow baby, which of course alludes to the fact that they have had a miscarriage before.

She hasn't been open about it.

I'm sure, well, I'm not sure.

She doesn't need to be maybe she will, maybe she won't talk about that at some point now that she has this joy.

But we are so happy for them.

Congratulations.

We know that this has been in the hopes for a while, anything.

To have there, and so can I just say, maybe one of the most gorgeous couples to ever come out of Bachelor Nation, like having, you know, starting a family together.

I am so excited for them.

I think that's great.

Ye ask me too.

I can't wait to text her and see how her pregnancy has been.

And I saw her in March, and I'm just really really happy this has happened to her and him.

Of course they're gonna be outstanding parents.

Those are one of the couples that you feel like, oh, if I had to be born into a family like that is a family to be born and this is gonna be a really lucky baby exactly exactly.

Speaking of pregnancy announcements, this one is a little bit more shocking in my opinion.

My bachelorette crush one of my favorite bachelorettes to ever be Emily Maynard, who has never been on the show, nor does she do any other podcast.

She kind of has stepped away from the limelight completely.

Her daughter Ricky is pregnant.

She's twenty years old, and she announced it yesterday on her Instagram stories with kind of a funny thing.

You explained this better because you are a Love Island girly, I am not so.

First of all, I have to say, Emily Maynard and Grandma in the same line is not something I was anticipating seeing they neither.

Emily maynerd just had a baby.

He's three now, that's insane.

But yeah, the funny thing is is for the Love Island fans out there.

We do know that this week was the much anticipated reunion cast member Hooda was asked about her relationship status and she said, you know, Netflix told me I'm not allowed to talk about it, which was you know, jarring.

We all know she's in a relationship with Louis from Perfect Match, which is on Netflix, which is why she couldn't speak about it because I hadn't been out yet.

But that's what Ricky used when making her pregnancy announcement this week, which is pretty funny.

So we don't have any word from Emily herself.

Emily is the mom of six kids now.

Jones is three Nolah Belle four, Gatlin seven, Gibson eight, Jennings ten and then and she shares all of those with husband Tyler Johnson, who she married, oh, I guess about ten eleven years ago.

And Ricky, if you guys aren't familiar with you know Emily's day of the Bachelor and Bachelorette.

She shares Ricky with her late fiance, say, Ricky Hendrick.

He was a race car driver, and she didn't even know she was pregnant with Ricky until his plane went down, and she's so and then like Ricky was like her little miracle baby, realized that she had part of her fiance in her body, so that she was a gift.

And now she's giving her the gift of being a grandmother, which she's thirty nine.

And that's just it's just wild because I really watching I remember watching Ricky being just a little girl.

I guess she was like four.

On the Bachelorette.

They had it film in North Carolina so she could kind of resume life of normalcy for Ricky and now she's going to be a mom herself.

Ashley.

Not to make it really weird, but like you and I are both not far from thirty nine, Like, can you imagine being a grandma?

No, I'm like so mind boggled.

Well, I know it exists, but this is like what I went to bed thinking last night.

I was like, I don't even think Emily's forty yet.

And she's going to be a grandma, Like for it's crazy.

Like her kids and her grandchild are going to be growing up together.

Yeah, Like it's gonna be like your uncle is three years older than you.

Yeah, they're probably going to go to school together.

What oh man already.

Well, Emily, I'm sure won't be talking about this anywhere other than her own social media whenever she decides.

To do that.

But I wish a wish that we could have her on sometime.

We'll see Shrek comes out of hiding.

It's okay, we respect whatever her life decision is.

We love to admire her from afar.

She's adorable.

Let's talk about Deanna pappas another bachelor at Lead.

She is now saying no to alcohol.

She's the best decision she's ever made.

She feels so much better and she actually she actually made this headline on our new podcast, Famously Available.

Ben will be hosting that, and she is going to be dating on that we're going to try to play matchmaker, and she says that she's been sleeping better, she's been more clear on herself and more in touch with herself and also more in touch with her higher power.

She said that she's had a lot of loss in her life and had to grieve on every level.

I just didn't grieve the loss of my marriage and my ex husband.

I didn't just have to grieve those things, but the loss of his family.

And she said that in those moments she chose to drink.

My affair was with alcohol, and that was my piece to Carrie.

I've chosen to given up alcohol.

Clearly it was unhealthy for me.

I just took a deep look at my life and where it was going, and it wasn't headed in a direction where I wanted it to.

And if alcohol was the one thing that I could give up, then by all means I was willing to do it.

So we appreciate Dianna for being so open on Famously Available, and make sure that if you want more on Deanna's journey to find love, tune into that.

I think it's on our feed, right Heather, It'll be all coming up on our feed.

It definitely is on our feed.

And yeah, we have so much great stuff coming with not only Deanna but obviously Mercedes northup that we're also you know, doing that podcast with so lots and lots of good dating relationship stuff to come.

Speaking of relationships, Chloe Costello, who you may remember from Grand Season being the plus size model.

Everybody was rooting for her.

She had like strawberry blonde hair.

Well, she is engaged now.

She posted photos on her Instagram on Monday where she shows off her pear shaped threestone engagement ring.

We don't know much right now about her relationship with the fiance.

We know that she started filming Bachelor about a year ago.

We'll have to have her on to talk about her engagement to Hutch Hershberger because either they have known each other for a while or this is a quick engagement.

But either way, we are saying congratulations to Chloe and so are a whole bunch of her friends from Grand Season.

I have a question for you, Ashley, because obviously we're going to get into some other en engagement news.

Do you feel like summertime I always thought associated with wedding season, but do you associate it also with engagement season?

Like a couple of girls on our team just got engaged within the last week.

I don't know when did you and Jery get engaged?

What time of June?

June?

Yeah, and it was in Paradise, So I guess it's like warm and lush all the time there.

But I think that like when you're thinking about engagements, you kind of want it to be a pretty warm background.

You don't want to be I don't know.

In my case, I don't want to be like bundled up.

I feel like some people do the Christmas the Christmas engagement too, where they take.

Christmas engagement is like the other one, you know, Yeah, so it's the Christmas gift engagement with all the family around in that celebratory time of year, or I feel like it's summer, but you don't like find like anybody really getting engaged.

It's like randomly in January, you know, March, just dead trees outside.

And then of course congratulations to Taylor to trust Kelsey had the most notable of all engagements this summer, the biggest engagement of this maybe all time.

Yeah, seriously.

We also have a marriage in Bachelor Nation.

Jullian Harris old bachelorette, not old bachelorette.

Former bachelorette.

Jillian Harris married Justin Pasteaux, her fiance and partner of thirteen years.

They've been engaged for five years, but it together for thirteen years.

They got married in a flower farm wedding.

It was they did a church ceremony on August twenty first, and then they did like a big ceremony attended by one hundred and sixty seven guests at their farm a couple days later.

After eight years of planning, she said, we've decided to really go for it.

It was an actual fairy tale dream come true.

And I'm so happy that we waited this long so we could get truly what planned and dreamed of for the day.

They got engaged Christmas morning, twenty sixteen, and yeah, so that's what we got for them.

We recently had Jillian on the podcast with the OG's and we went to this whole thing about you know, she told us why this wedding, first of all, how extravagant it was going to be, and also why it took so long to get there.

Why.

Well, I want people to go listen to the episode.

Good tease, Heather.

There's a lot there.

But I will say also one of the biggest things she told us was about what happened with the engagement ring that she got from her time on The Bachelorette.

So everybody should definitely go back and listen to that Gillian Harris interview because she gave us a lot which we're also so thrilled for her.

At the wedding looked gorgeous and that flower farm is actually on their property and her husband created that over the last year to make it super super gorgeous for them, So congrats to them.

Oh that is awesome.

And our last headline, still in dating relationship news, Rachel Recki is spurting sparking rumors that she's dating a new man since her time on the show.

You know, of course, she's been updating her life on social media and then there were rumors that she and Clayton would get back together, and then there's always rumors about her and Blake Moins needing to be together.

People are always shipping the two of them, and now people are talking about her dating somebody new.

She posted a carousel of photos on Instagram and this is what got people talking.

She looks freaking fantastic, the best she's ever looked, she really does.

Wow, she looks so amazing, and she's holding hands with another man.

This is Carrington, who did make an appearance on The Perfect Match this season that Rachel was on.

So he's from Love Island.

He came back to come on the show.

So very very cute.

Obviously we don't know too much about what's happening here, but cute.

Nonetheless, I'm kind of.

Because they didn't hold hands like this on the actual show, right.

No, as far as I've gotten in the show, he leaves before she even got onto.

The show, and that would be very Ali Joe and Sam.

Very yes.

There's also another picture of her with another cast member on the roller coaster at the Santa Monica Pear and his arm is around her in a very close way.

She looks very happy here too, oh, so.

That's Carrington, the one in the car, the one in the ride is Carrington, okay, holding hands with Let me look at this picture.

I don't know who that is.

No, I don't know who she's I'm looking at it.

I don't know who she's holding hands with, But that's Carrington in on the roller coaster ride holding her Okay.

So basically she's teasing it could be one of either of these guys.

They could just be Netflix cast members, production crew, who the hell knows.

But she also could at the same time be teasing a little romance with one of the two of the two guys in her latest Instagram carousel.

They're both cute, me into it, whichever one she's she's feeling.

I also know that if anybody's shipping her and Blake the most, it's you.

Really, I mean, I know there to her, I know, well, you know, every time we talked to her, there's another picture of the two of them looking chummy.

I think she did recently post a video, another Africa video and both of them being in it.

So no, I truly believe they're just friends now, because like she just keeps saying, absolutely not, absolutely not, and it's like, all right, well, if you go on a safari and you're like riding with him with his arm around you at sunset on like some jeep like and you're telling me that there's nothing going on, and for real, for real, I'm gonna believe.

You, now, Rachel, come and clear it up once and for all.

No, No, it's clear, it's clear.

Now, come clear up this carousel of photos?

Which one are you dating?

Alrighty?

Well, thanks guys for joining us, and again thanks Heather for coming and doing headlines with me this week.

Oh thanks Ashley.

Always always wanted to do this with you, so I'm really excited that you had me on.

Well, come fill in any time, you know it all?

I love it.

Alrighty, We'll talk to you guys next time.

Until then, I've been Ashley.

And I've been Heather.
