Tayshia Adamsis speaking from the heart.
While appearingvirtuallyon Wednesday’s episode ofThe Ellen DeGeneres Show, the 30-year-oldBacheloretteopened up about why she told one of her suitors that she is falling in love with him.
“I did do something that usually you’re not supposed to kind of do, just because you don’t want to say it to too many people,” Adams told hostEllen DeGeneres. “But at the same time, I’m there to find my first love so if that’s what I’m feeling, then I felt like, why not say it?”
Adams added: “But I will say after I did tell him, I kind of just looked at my producers like ‘Whoops!’ Like, we shouldn’t have done that but whatever. It felt right.”

Zac explained, “So yes, I’ve cheated in my past. My first girlfriend, we started dating. We were in love. I met another girl and I later met up with that girl at a bowling alley … and I French kissed her while I was still dating Emmy. It was on my first girlfriend in sixth grade, and that’s my cheating story.”
With that cleared up, Zac also shared that he didn’t like that it came out during the polygraph test that he was falling for Adams. “I felt like that’s something I should have told you in a more intimate setting,” he said. Then, Adams confessed, “I’m falling in love with you, too.”

During her time with DeGeneres, 62, Adams also spoke about how her iteration of the popular ABC reality series is different from years past, when the cast on the show used to travel around the world, prior to theCOVID-19 pandemic.
“You know, sometimes it’s easier to fall in love in Italy and be traveling and being on a yacht and whatnot, but this time it was just — it was us,” she added. “And I thought it was great.”
Adams also said that fans will experience a different version of the typical Hometown Dates episode next week due to the ongoing global health crisis. “The families will be coming to me,” Adams revealed.
