Ellen DeGeneres Asks About the After The Rose Ceremony
Ellen DeGeneres has long had a talent of enabling guests to speak candidly about the reality of their lives. Ellen asked him about the After the Final Rose special and why many fans thought that the show was “awkward.”
“I didn’t see the After the Rose because I could not commit to four hours of television.”
“I heard that some people thought it was awkward, that y’all were awkward together.”
Nick was taking his own sweet time in answering Ellen’s question so Vanessa Grimaldi responded to Ellen’s question even though she was seated in the audience.
“I didn’t think so. I think we both went in it wanting to be honest and open about couples, you know, sometimes things can get tough. But we’re very committed to each other, we love each other, and that’s what we’re focusing on.”
