Sisters Lauren & Allison Spill the Tea on Dating the Same Guy Before ‘Bachelor’ and How He Was Shady
Not holding back.
Bachelor Nation fans have been watching sisters Lauren and Allison look for love with Bachelor Joey on Season 28 of the show.
This week, the duo stopped by the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast and discussed their dating history.
On the show, the sisters revealed that they have dated the same guy before and even said they “overlapped.”
Now they are clarifying that they did date the same guy in the past, but it was not at the same time and they actually didn’t know about it at first.
Lauren started off, explaining, “Allison went to the University of Delaware and met a guy and was dating him in college for a little bit. Then I moved to Philadelphia and met the same guy. It’s weirder on his part to be honest to not disclose that. We didn’t know. I was telling her that I was talking to this guy and he was really great. Then I showed her a picture and she was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I was dating him at UD.’ I was like, that’s really effin’ weird.”
Allison opened up about her experience dating this man, saying, “It wasn’t long that we dated. I wouldn’t necessarily say we dated, but we went on dates. We went on a few dates, three maybe. Not too long, but definitely weird on his part to go after my sister after. Especially because we have the same last name and we look alike, so it’s hard not to know.”
She added, “When we ended, it was one of those things in college where it just fizzled out and we went our separate ways.”
Lauren shared that the guy definitely knew that they were sisters despite pursuing her without mentioning that he dated Allison.
She said, “He knew. I didn’t talk to him for long, maybe it was a couple of months. I hadn’t had a chance to talk to Allison because she was gone on vacation during that time and then I shared what I’d been up to and she was like, ‘Oh, I was up to that once too.’”
And Lauren revealed how they eventually broke up saying, “I just texted him and was like, ‘This is really effin’ weird. I didn’t know you were talking to my sister at one point and you didn’t tell me that.’ So I just blocked him and ghosted him. I don’t know if he responded because I blocked him. I was just like, no. Don’t even try to talk to me, that’s disgusting. I had talked about her too.”
Glad we cleared that up!
