Connor B. Reveals More About His Kiss with the Mystery Woman at 'Men Tell All'
“The Bachelorette” Season 17 star Connor B. spilled more deets about his kiss with a gorgeous brunette during Monday night’s “Men Tell All” special.
“Her name was Tara,” he told Becca Kufrin and guest co-host Tayshia Adams on this week’s episode of “Bachelor Happy Hour,” revealing the identity of the mystery woman. “I have her number. We FaceTimed.”
As viewers will recall, Tara stood up to interrupt Connor as he was reflecting on his heartbreaking split from Katie Thurston — which left the castoff wondering if he was a “trash kisser.”
“I just wanna say, Connor, that I watched you on the show and I just think that you’re absolutely adorable and I know that you can’t be a bad kisser,” she said from her seat.
Tayshia then invited Tara to come onstage to treat Connor to a steamy makeout session. “Yes, you were the matchmaker!” Connor told Tayshia on "Bachelor Happy Hour." “I owe it all to you.”
According to Connor, he had his eye on Tara the minute he stepped inside the taping.
“I literally walked in, sat down, I noticed her. She stuck out from the crowd from the beginning of ‘Men Tell All.’ I was like, ‘Dang, that’s a really cute girl over there.’ I was checking her out,” he recounted. “And so when she stood up, I was like, ‘Oh my God, that’s the really pretty girl I was checking out. What’s happening?’ It was crazy.”
Becca then told Connor — who lives in Nashville and works as a math teacher and musician — that she would like to plan a date for him and Tara in Los Angeles when he’s back in town.
“We’ll maybe film a little bit of it just so the fans and followers can see it all go down, maybe see a little kiss in the future,” the Season 14 Bachelorette offered. “But if you guys are willing, I want to do this for you.”
Connor replied, “Hard yes. Yes, absolutely. Oh my God, yeah. A date with Tara? I’m on a plane. I’m also really excited to see a date planned by Becca. I think that’d be a great date.”
In the meantime, he has extended an invite to Tara to visit him in Music City. “The great thing is she’s also a musician and she comes to Nashville a lot,” he said. “So, I invited her to Nashville to take her on a date at some point.”
