Spilling the tea!

Bachelor Nation fans got to know Chelsea Vaughn on Season 25 of “The Bachelor” and Season 7 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”

She now lives in New York City and often shares dating advice, updates, and a look into her fashionable life.

Last year, Chelsea returned to the screen and found love on Season 2 of “Bachelor in Paradise Canada” with Austin Tinsley from Season 17 of “The Bachelorette,” but the two ended up going their separate ways.

Now, she’s taken to Instagram for a Q&A, where she is answering fan questions about dating, red flags, and more.

One fan asked for advice on moving in with a partner and Chelsea kept it real, saying, “Be honest and communicate your wants / needs early on while you still have a chance to course correct. Don’t hold things in that are bothering you, they can’t read your mind.”

She went on, saying, “Don’t let your roommate problems turn into relationship problems. Try to separate them if you can, you don’t want to break up over the dishes or a toilet seat.” 

Another fan asked Chelsea if she ever goes on dates with other celebrities or influencers, to which the Bachelor Nation star replied that she would prefer not to. 

She said, “Just ordinary dudes so far. I’d be open to a celebrity if it came up naturally but I’m definitely not seeking it out. I’d prefer someone with a different career than mine. There’s really only room for one influencer in a relationship in my opinion, 1 is already a lot lol.” 

Chelsea was also asked what she thinks her red flags are and she answered, “Ooof. Well, I’ve been in love 3 times and all 3 of those relationships were ended by me…so, I guess objectively, I’m a heartbreaker.” 

She added more, saying, “I’m also a very critical person by nature. Mainly of myself, but when I’m in a relationship, it’s probably not ideal for the person dating me. My therapist would say that I give men the [benefit of the doubt] too often and stay in situations longer than I should. Green flag is that I’m self aware!! Lolol.” 

Another follower asked Chelsea if she has any advice for a long-distance relationship, and the Bachelor Nation star responded with some helpful tips. 

Chelsea suggested, “Schedule FaceTime dates!! Get creative and make it fun. Start a movie together and hit play on Netflix at the same time, cook dinner together, play a card game. It sucks but when you’re long distance you have to prioritize scheduling time in because it’s all you have until the next visit.” 

What great ideas!
