Reid also admitted that he was “devastated” by going home and not being with Becca Kufrin, saying that it took some time for him to readjust to life after returning back to his daily life.
“[I went] back to reality a little bit, cleansed a bit. I feel like I put a lot of time in a relationship, and I need to realize that I need to put a lot of time into myself as well. I play soccer a lot… I’m a huge uncle, great uncle, uncle of the year. I just like to hang out with [my nieces and nephews] and de-stress.”
Meanwhile, Wills admits that even before appearing on The Bachelorette and meeting Becca Kufrin that he knew what he wanted in a partner, saying that he needs someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously, is kind, and wants to build something special together. It seems that if Wills is chosen to be the next Bachelor star he will already have a good idea of what kind of life partner he is looking for.
