Gabi Elnicki & Ariel Frenkel Reveal If They Are Comfortable Being Around Kaity Biggar & Their Ex Zach Shallcross
Getting candid.
Bachelor Nation fans saw Gabi Elnicki, Ariel Frenkel, and Kaity Biggar look for love with Zach Shallcross on Season 27 of “The Bachelor.”
The final three women all fell in love with Zach and it broke Ariel and Gabi’s hearts when he sent them home.
Zach ended up proposing to Kaity and the two couldn’t be more in love and are enjoying their lives together in Austin, Texas.
And while it may not be traditional to be so close with your fiancé’s ex-girlfriends, Kaity is still best friends with Ariel and Gabi.
The two actually just visited Kaity and Zach in Austin and they enjoyed a girls weekend with some of their other fellow cast members.
Now, both Gabi and Ariel are clarifying how it feels to be such close friends with Kaity despite her being engaged to their ex.
During Instagram Q&As, both women shared their thoughts with Gabi, saying, “At the end of the day, Kaity is one of my best friends and we formed a friendship prior to really getting to know Zach. I want nothing but the best for them, and I am super grateful we have both been able to move forward with our lives in a positive way. I am happy. Kaity is happy. God works in mysterious ways and there’s a reason that everything happened the way that it did.”
Gabi went on, saying, “You’re not going to be for everyone, and that’s okay. Holding onto resentment out of pride or jealousy isn’t healthy and I get so many questions asking how I am still friends with Kaity. We are mature adults and we care more about our friendship than what happened on the tv show. Many variations of these questions but to answer this specifically — I am totally fine seeing Zach.”
We love Kaity and Gabi’s friendship and it’s amazing to see how far they’ve all come!
Ariel also responded to a similar question, saying, “It’s not awkward at all hanging with Zach and Kaity now. Just because it didn’t work out doesn’t mean there can’t be maturity and normalcy a full year later. I’ve seen how amazing he and Kaity are together and I’m happy they found each other.”
We love our “Bachelor” Season 27 cast and the friendships and relationship that came out of it!
