Bekah Martinez Welcomes Baby Girl!!!

Late last summer,  The Bachelor  alum and fan-favorite  Bekah Martinez revealed that she was pregnant . About a week ago, Bekah’s due date came … and went. Then, on Saturday, Bekah gave birth to her first child! See the pics: Though we have photos of Bekah’s baby to show you, the best photos of mother and daughter are a little NSFW. Bekah gave birth in a water birth, which is … the most Bekah Martinez thing we’ve ever heard. And though she endeavored to apply a dollop of censorship over her forbidden nips, the photo is still a lot. You’ve been warned. In the pair of black-and-white photos, Bekah is still in the tub of water, and she is cradling her newborn on her chest. Notably, her daughter appears to be very camera-shy. In every single photo. Bekah gave birth over the weekend, and we’ll let her caption tell the rest. Bekah’s boyfriend and baby-daddy, Grayston Leonard, attempted to take a few color photos of their daughter. The black and white pics, snapped by photographer Lauren Guilford, were a bit more successful. “On the morning of February 2nd, our little girl joined us earth-side,” Bekah writes in the caption. “And,” she continues. “We will never be the same.” “We are all as healthy and happy as can be,” Bekah assures her fans and followers. She and her baby girl really do appear to be so peaceful despite the mutual trauma of childbirth. Maybe there’s something to this water birth thing (but I’d still prefer an epidural, wouldn’t you?). Notably, Bekah and Grayston continue to refer to their daughter without a name. Why are they being mum about their baby’s name? Because they have yet to decide upon a name for their sweet little girl. It’s easy to make fun of parents for being indecisive about this, but nine months isn’t always enough time. This is the name by which people will know them. It’s part of the first impression they’ll give. Whatever Bekah decides will be on her daughter’s job applications. It’ll be the name that her classmates turn against her to tease her. That’s a lot of responsibility. You want to make the right choice. Last week, in late January, Bekah shared a photo of her whale of a baby bump. “Today is my official due date,” Bekah wrote. “My, what a journey it has been,” she reflected. “Thank you all for the love you’ve showered upon me,” she gushed. Bekah was a fan favorite among the Bachelor Nation because she’s an absolute delight. She continued: “There is so much from these past 9 months to be grateful for.” Just days earlier, Bekah had shared another pic, this time featuring her very bare baby bump. Honestly, that pregnant belly looks huge on a woman so small. “39 weeks + 5 days,” she wrote of her pregnancy.I actually have super-human patience right now.” “I know my due date is Tuesday,” she shared. “But I am perfectly at peace with going a couple weeks more.” Fortunately, her child was born about a week after she wrote this. “I trust my baby and I trust my body,” Bekah affirmed. “He or she will come when they’re fully ready for the journey earth-side.” The join me earth-side thing is … well, we of course do not want to make fun of anyone’s spiritual beliefs. But it is an unusual phrase.  Bekah will no doubt prove to be a fun and open-minded mother because that’s the sort of person she is. These days, she must be thanking her lucky stars that she jodged a bullet with Arie Luyendyk Jr. Actually, she’s been happy about that for a long time, now.

Bachelor Fans Defend Aly Raisman After Demi Burnett Comments

If you've been following  The Bachelor  Spoilers , you know who wins Colton Underwood's heart and who flops. But a number of fans were shocked, angry, and defensive at one contestant's words. Did Demi Burnett insult Colton Underwood, Tia Booth, Becca Kufrin, and Aly Raisman all in the same breath? As Colton affirmed in a very recent interview, Olympic gold medalist  Aly Raisman was his first real love . Some members of the Bachelor Nation and even the Bachelor Fam took issue with Demi Burnett's words on this week's episode of The Bachelor. Why? Because they interpreted what she said, as you can see in the video we included, as an attack on Aly. Are they right? Was Demi badmouthing Aly (and Tia Booth)? Let's take a careful look at Demi's words and find out. “I think Colton will realize he needs a girl in his life that is more bold and confident,” Demi said. “And,” she continued, she believes that Colton needs a girl who “will take a bit more of a dominant role.” “I think that Colton is looking for a girl that can take charge and take control,” Demi speculated. “Even if he, like, doesn’t know that he’s looking for that,” Demi admitted. “I think that that’s what he needs.” That is arguably a little presumptuous or a little sexy. But it's not like she was telling the camera that she wants to peg him. So why were her words controversial? The controversy arose from what she said here: “I totally think that Colton’s past relationships, they weren’t very aggressive girls,” Demi characterized. “They weren’t very dominant girls,” she claimed. “And they didn’t work out for him for a reason.” “I’m the only one who challenges Colton,” Demi stated. “And,” she concluded. “I excite him and I make him nervous.” The Bachelor Nation did not like the sound of Demi's words at all. “Um… what does Demi know about his past relationships?” one fan asked. The tweet continued: “publicly both Becca and Aly Raisman are amazing women that challenged him.” “Aly Raisman is a strong, dominant goddess,” asserted another. Yet another fan wrote: “Demi is clearly wrong af.” “Demi can’t say that Colton has never dated anyone as bold or confident as her,” noted another. That fan continued: “When Aly Raisman helped to take down one of the biggest sexual predators this world has ever seen.” Dr. Larry Nassar was sentenced to life in prison , and Aly was one of the women who bravely came forward to testify about his monstrous sexual predation. Tia Booth is Colton's other most famous ex. Taking to Twitter, she clapped back at the perceived insult. “I scared him into dating me for 3 whole days,” Tia said in response to Demi's words. “So,” she continued. “Idk what’s more dominant than that.” That's either a good point or a decent joke, but we're not sure which. We do have to say that, perhaps, Demi was saying that she is the only one of the current contestants who challenges Colton. That is not to say that we agree with her. That is just how we interpreted her meaning. Demi is right that some people prefer more assertive guidance from their partners. Others very strongly do not. Assuming what another person needs is not always the wisest move. Even so, Demi definitely made herself a little more interesting. Villain or misunderstood, even if she doesn't win Colton's heart, she could end up being a hit with the Bachelor Nation.

Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham: We’re Married!

Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham have achieved the near-impossible. The couple has actually gone from The Bachelor to… the altar! Will Arie and Lauren last a lifetime? It’s too early to say. But they’ve already accomplished what few twosomes who got together via this franchise have accomplished before them: an actual exchanging of vows! As documented by Us Weekly, Arie and Lauren got married this weekend in Hawaii. “Ever since we’ve gotten together, we wanted to fast-forward to this day,” Luyendyk told this tabloid , adding:  “It’s been a year. That’s kind of crazy ‘cause I remember a year ago we were doing ‘happy couples [weekend on The Bachelor]’ and talking about getting married and wanting to do that, even last year, so it’s awesome that the day is finally here.” He’s not wrong. It’s been quite a journey for these reality stars. Luyendyk Jr. and Burnham met while filming season 22 of The Bachelor last year. But their courtship both ended and then started again amidst controversy. This is because the former race car driver proposed to Becca Kufrin during the season finale. However, he later had a change of heart, broke up with Kufrin in front of ABC cameras… and decided he wanted to be with Burnham. After shattering Kufrin’s heart into a million pieces, Luyendyk Jr. and Burnham got engaged during the live After the Final Rose special in March. “I made some bad decisions but the best decision was running back to you,” the real estate agent said during his proposal, continung as follows: “I truly believe are my soulmate. I’m ready to face this life with you and all that comes with it. I love you so much. “I wanted to do this in front of everyone because I want to show you that I should have done this a long time ago.” In November, meanwhile, the famous couple took fans by surprise when they announced they were expecting. We’ve since learned they are expecting a girl . “We are so excited,” the former ex-Bachelor told Us Weekly last fall. “It’s going to be a whole new chapter in our lives.” Referencing his child’s gender and his now-wife, Arie added: “I’m definitely excited to see Lauren and her together, and I think it’s gonna be so adorable. “Everything’s so new, so we’re buying parenting books… “There’s just so much that we don’t know, and I think learning together and experiencing this together is gonna be a lot of fun.” All eyes of Bachelor Nation will now hone in on Arie and Lauren to see if their love truly lasts. For now, though, as mentioned previously, they’ve already defied the odds by tying the knot. “To say it’s been quite a year would be an understatement!” Arie recently wrote on Instagram as the calendar flippe. “Lots of firsts and many more to come! Thank you for all of your love and we can’t wait to share what is going to be the biggest year out of our lives in 2019!” NOTE : To find out what’s on tap this season on The Bachelor, visit our section of The Bachelor spoilers !

Amber Heard: Johnny Depp Was a Monster

The ugly divorce between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard was settled long ago, but the brutal abuse allegations still weigh on the minds of fans. Now, new and lengthy court documents have come to light from their 2016 depositions. These papers shed new light on Amber and Depp’s claims. The Hollywood Reporter got a hold of some transcripts from Amber Heard’s 2016 deposition. 2016 was when Amber and Johnny divorced, and when the world learned of Depp’s years of alleged domestic violence. Though the accusations became public, along with upsetting testimony from eyewitnesses, much was kept under wraps during the divorce. Amber and Depp compromised by releasing a joint statement, affirming that neither of them intended to hurt the other, and that neither of them lied. Even when text messages surfaced appearing to show that Depp’s team knew about the alleged abuse, the exes largely moved on. But now, through these court documents, we know more. “Johnny and I refer to his other personality, the part of him that is present when he beats me up,” Amber said in her 2016 deposition. “We call that the monster,” Amber revealed. “And have called [that] the monster for years.” The total length of the deposition was 471 pages. Amber admitted: “I was petrified of the monster.” Within the deposition, Amber recalls an incident in which Depp, then her husband, allegedly attacked her. She describes him hurling her phone at her “as hard as he could,” striking her in the face. Amber says that he grabbed her by her hair during this alleged explosion of violence, prompting her to scream out for help. She recalled that, during the incident, Depp “broke a lot of glass things that left glass on the floor.” In addition to the shards of glass, she described the room being littered with silver candlesticks and a lamp. Though this is far from the first story of Depp trashing a room, this story is far more alarming. Amber Heard’s testimony is not the only voice within the deposition. There was testimony from the Los Angeles Police Department officers who responded to the incident. Raquel Pennington, Amber’s close friend, revealed in testimony that she had been in the adjacent apartment. She testified that she had come to Amber’s penthouse at her request, where Amber told her that she had been hit in the face with a phone. Raquel testifies to having witnessed Depp swing around a bottle and knock items off of countertops, and to have heard him yelling. She says that it was only Depp’s security’s arrival that diffused the situation, as they convinced him to leave. She also says that she had taken “dozens” of photos of Amber’s bruises over the years. As you may recall, there was a great deal of backlash over Johnny Depp’s casting in The Crimes of Grindelwald . So much so that some lifelong Harry Potter fans boycotted the film, and some took to calling it “The Crimes of Johnny Depp.” Depp was clearly and openly frustrated that people insisted upon bringing up the serious accusations of domestic violence against him. Some believe that this is why, in September of 2018, Johnny Depp suddenly made accusations of his own against his ex-wife. He claimed that Amber had punched him in the face, twice. Within the 2016 deposition, Amber was asked if she had ever been violent towards Depp. In 2016, when Amber Heard was asked if she had ever struck, slapped, or thrown an object at Depp, she answered. She said that she “did her best” to defend herself against her larger, stronger husband during his alleged violent outbursts. Domestic violence, particularly during a divorce, can be a complicated issue. Some victims may defend themselves. Some abusers may accuse their victims of having started it all. With celebrities, waters are further muddied simply because one star’s fans may be more outspoken than another’s. As any of us who’ve viewed any comments sections have discovered to our chagrin, Depp retains many fans who are his ardent defenders. If none of the evidence made public so far has changed their mind, it seems unlikely that anything in this deposition will  View Slideshow: 21 Celebrities Accused of Domestic Violence

The Bachelor Spoilers: Stunning Final Rose Aftermath REVEALED!

You're not gonna believe this, but  The Bachelor spoilers  have actually been revealed in advance of the January 7 premiere. Colton Underwood, the controversial leading man of the 2019 season, has given out his final rose … but there is a twist. Holy mother of G-d is there a twist. We hereby invite you to grab a hat, hold the f–k onto it, and come along for the Bachelor spoilers you cannot even believe. Okay, maybe you can believe it, because after 20-plus seasons of this show, we've learned to expect the unexpected. Still, 2019 has some eye-popping surprises in store, according to the Oracle of Bachelor Spoilers, Reality Steve's podcast . Let's get down to the nitty gritty and break down Colton's season, from beginning to end … and everything in between. Obvious alert:  Bachelor spoilers  await! 1. A Man on a Mission … … to go where no Bachelor has gone before. Well, actually the opposite. They’ve all gone there. Let us explain. As those who follow the franchise know, Colton Underwood was one of the final contenders for Becca Kufrin’s final rose on The Bachelorette last season. He’s also a virgin, as you can see by the show’s lame marketing campaign above. So the Fantasy Suite stakes are even higher than usual for a man who’s never had an overnight date with anyone! 2. He’s Been Around Not only has Colton been on several NFL team rosters, he’s also been on Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman. Physically. We assume. They must have cuddled or spooned or something while dating, right? (He’s a virgin, did we mention that?) Underwood, in all seriousness, is a higher-profile person than most Bachelor stars by virtue of his previous romantic connections. 3. Inside the Booth In addition to Raisman, Colton was also in a relationship with Tia Booth of The Bachelor franchise fame. For a guy who has never gotten it in, dude sure has gotten around … if you know what we’re talking about. We’re talking about him dating several quasi-famous women yet not having had sex with any of them. 4. A Controversial Pick Despite some questions about his motivations, his past, and his appearances on not one but two Bachelor shows (he went on Bachelor in Paradise, a show designed for the express purpose of Bachelor Nation members boning, following his ouster from The Bachelorette), Colton got the nod over several strong contenders for the 2019 season. And it sounds like a doozy. 5. What Do We Know About the Season So Far? A lot, thanks to a recent podcast by Bachelor expert Steve Carbone, aka Reality Steve. He has given us spoilers about EVERY SINGLE EPISODE, along with the revelation of Colton’s final four and eventual winner. 6. Really? So What Goes Down on Episode 1? Catherine Agro and Onyeka Ehie will annoy their fellow suitors by often interrupting their time with Colton, while the following women will be sent packing: Revian Chang, a 24-year-old esthetician from Santa Monica, CA; Tahzjuan Hawkins, a 25-year-old business development associate from Castle Pines, CO; Devin Gooden, a 23-year-old broadcast journalist from Medford, OR; Alex Dillon, a 23-year-old sloth from Boston, MA; Erin Landry, a 28-year-old Cinderella from Plano, TX; Adrianne “Jane” Aver, a 26-year-old social worker from West Hollywood, CA; and Laura Pellerito, a 26-year-old accountant from Dallas, TX.

Shawn Booth on Kaitlyn Bristowe Breakup: I’m Heartbroken …

They were one of the couples that seemed to have beaten the odds, but Shawn Booth and Kaitlyn Bristowe are over . Now, Shawn is opening up to fans with a heartfelt message. He’s thanking them for their support — over the years and now, as he experiences real emotional pain. Shawn Booth took to Instagram to deliver a heartfelt message about his not-so-secret breakup with Kaitlyn Bristowe. “I just want to thank everyone who has been so supportive of my relationship with Kaitlyn over the years,” he writes. After nearly three years together, the couple accrued a lot of fans. “You’ve made me feel incredibly special,” he shares. Shawn continues, noting that fans have made him feel “supported, and very loved.” “So from the bottom of my heart,” Shawn continues. “Thank you.” Shawn writes: “It truly means a lot.” He’s thanking fans for more than just their support during the relationship. Shawn appreciates the outpouring of respect that has flowed from the Bachelor Nation following their split. “And,” Shawn says. “Thank you to everyone who has sent their love & support during this painful time.” He gushes: “I love you guys.” According to a recent report by People , Shawn isn’t the only one feeling heartbroken. Kaitlyn’s in the same boat. “This was the last thing Kaitlyn wanted,” and insider reveals. According to the source: “she was willing to fight for the relationship.” Ultimately, however, she and Shawn realized that they had lost their forward momentum. “But,” the insider laments. “There was nowhere for it to go.” “It’s only natural to think about the next steps when you’ve been together for three years,” the source explains. “Kaitlyn,” the insider says. “Wants to be married and have kids.” “But,” the source notes. “It didn’t seem like they were on the same page.” Kaitlyn is two years older than Shawn. She is 33, he is 31. Did that slight age difference make her the one who wanted to settle down first? Fans cannot help but wonder. Despite this key difference, the report says that neither of them simply quit on the other. “It wasn’t one of them who broke things off,” the source reports. In other words, it sounds like this painful decision to break up after nearly three years together was mutual. According to the insider, Kaitlyn and Shawn are still “on good terms.” That is great. But Kaitlyn is not doing so well internally, apparently. “She’s devastated,” the source reports. “There is a lot of hurt,” the insider says. The source notes that “Kaitlyn tried to make it work.” “She never thought this would end,” the insider concludes. The hardest thing about relationships is that they inevitably end, one way or the other. After three years of engagement, Shawn and Kaitlyn still have their memories of happiness, at least. In time, those should be a source of comfort as the reasons for their conflict fade. Who knows? Maybe they’ll even get back together, though we don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up. Only time will tell. View Slideshow: Kaitlyn Bristowe and Shawn Booth: A Love Story

21 Hottest Bachelors in ABC’s History: Who’s #1?!

With  Arie Luyendyk Jr. confirmed as the Bachelor  and ready to capture the hearts of the Bachelor Nation, it's time again to talk about this: Which Bachelor is the hottest Bachelor of all time!? After all, even if ABC does scour the Earth for eligible gentlemen who are the total package … not all hunks are created equal. Arie Jr. will be the leading man on  The Bachelor 's 22nd season on ABC, making him the show's 21st Bachelor. (Brad Womack famously got two bites at the apple … and yet didn't get a happily ever after either time). Obviously, not everyone in the Bachelor Nation is totally agreed on who's hot and who's not, since aesthetics are subjective. But honestly, isn't that what makes a debate fun? Take a look at the ghosts of Bachelors past and see for yourself who's the hottest of the hot and where you think Arie should rank. (Whether or not a guy who  dumped his real life girlfriend for the role  just two days being cast is a good choice notwithstanding.) 21. Lorenzo Borghese If there were a Bachelor, and season of The Bachelor, that left less than a memorable impression, it might have to be Lorenzo Borghese. He is eminently forgettable. But he’s not exactly hard to look upon. 20. Andrew Firestone Is Andrew Firestone a contender for Hottest Bachelor Ever? 19. Bob Guiney Bachelor Bob Guiney starred in Season 4 of the ABC hit. No, seriously, he did. 18. Charlie O’Connell Not to be confused with his brother Jerry O’Connell, who’s starred on things like Sliders, Scream 2, and Crossing Jordan. 17. Byron Velvick The bass-fishing Byron Velvick had the outdoorsy thing going for him in Season 7, that’s for sure. 16. Travis Stork Travis Stork isn’t just a hunk and a gentleman. He is a doctor, people. View Slideshow

The Bachelorette Season 14: Who Could It Be?

If nothing else, the selection of Arie Luyendyk Jr. to play the leading man on  The Bachelor  shows that anyone can be in that role. Seriously, anyone. But who will fill Rachel Lindsay's shoes in the fourteenth season of The Bachelorette tentatively set for May? Obviously, we don't expect to know right away. And there's always a chance that viable contenders, or even one consensus choice, will emerge from Arie's season of The Bachelor . That doesn't mean that we can't consider the possibilities, though, because Bachelor Nation has some very strong candidates already. After all, if Arie was still on producers' radar FIVE YEARS after he finished second on Emily Maynard's season, you just never know. Some of these women are already beloved by Bachelor Nation. Others are … we don't want to say reviled , but not quite as beloved. So let's look at who it might be! And hope that we're not disqualifying all of these ladies just by mentioning their names! 1. Kristina Schulman This girl won a lot of sympathy on Bachelor in Paradise during her love triangle with Dean Unglert. While his reputation sunk, her star has never been brighter. Should she become the Bachelorette? 2. Danielle Lombard Being treated and wooed as the most beautiful woman to ever walk the earth on Bachelor in Paradise certainly wouldn’t hurt Danielle Lombard’s chances for the top job. The guys in Paradise weren’t wrong. Just saying. 3. Amanda Stanton Single mom and franchise mainstay Amanda dismissed the idea of becoming the Bachelorette, but … that could be a deliberate deflection. She’s gorgeous, she’s charming, she’s a devoted parent, and she’d be great in that role. 4. Vanessa Grimaldi You might be thinking that they’d never cast Vanessa, because she and Nick only JUST broke up. Well, Arie Luyendyk Jr. had a girlfriend until just a couple of days before he was announced as the Bachelor. The real question is, since Rachel Lindsay was just the Bachelorette, would they have two leading ladies back-to-back who hate each other? 5. Corinne Olympios Hear us out on this one. The scandal on Bachelor in Paradise this summer wasn’t her fault or DeMario’s. She’s still entertaining and seeing her be the Bachelorette would be the stuff of dreams. She has a heart of gold and a platimun vagine — literally what more could you ask for? Plus, there’s a chance that she’s already in talks for it. 6. Andi Dorfman “But she was already The Bachelorette!” Yes. But, especially given that it resulted in a tumultuous relationship with Josh Murray, doesn’t she deserve another bite at the apple?

Arie Luyendyk Jr. Used to Date Courtney Robertson, Who Rates His Sexual Prowess as …

The leading man of any season of The Bachelor is supposed to be the season’s protagonist, of sorts. You might root for a hopeful contestant, but by doing so, you’re rooting for the Bachelor himself, too. But what are viewers supposed to think when they find out that this next season’s leading man was, until very recently, dating one of the franchise’s most infamous villains? Because Arie Luyendyk Jr. is the next Bachelor … and until very recently, he was dating Courtney Robertson . Oh, and Courtney has shared exactly what he’s like in bed. So, Courtney Robertson won her season of The Bachelor . This was season 16, way back in 2012 — the year where some people thought that the world might end but, unlike 2017, it didn’t actually look or feel like we might all get wiped out in a combination of intense natural disasters and some sort of nuclear onslaught at any given moment. Courtney went onto that season, in which the leading man was Ben Flajnik, declaring that she wanted everyone to like her. (A lot of us can relate to having a pathological need to be liked — that’s not why she’s a Bachelor villain) The problem, of course, was that Courtney badmouthed just about everyone else on the show. Maybe that was just for the camera and doesn’t represent how she is in real life, but … it wasn’t a great look on her. She won, though. She did win. Obviously, Courtney Robertson and Ben Flajnik split back in the fall of 2012, but they actually stuck together for 11 months. That’s not nothing. After that, and until very recently, Courtney and Arie Luyendyk Jr. were dating off-and-on. According to Us Weekly , the off-and-on relationship that began in late 2012 between Courtney and Arie only ended a few months ago. “Courtney Robertson was still dating Arie on and off up until a few months ago,” the source revealed. That means that they spent five years doing this same dance. We’ve seen marriages that gave people less time together. “Arie still races and does real estate on his off season. Courtney got him into real estate!” We love that they talk about real estate like it’s a hobby. “Courtney has been living in Arizona for a year. She¹s doing real estate in Scottsdale and pretty happy, she¹s near her family.” Courtney’s from Scottsdale, so that makes sense. “Arie is based out of Arizona but still travels/races a lot.” Apparently he likes to travel a little too much. “That was part of the problem for Courtney with Arie: he will never stay in one place.” That sounds exhausting. We hope that the ladies competing in Season 22 are prepared for such a chaotic lifestyle. “But Courtney ultimately knew that it would never work out with Arie.” In her 2014 memoir, I Didn’t Come Here to Make Friends: Confessions of a Reality Show Villain , Courtney Robertson also spilled some details about sex with Arie. “He brought over takeout from Postino and two bottles of Brassfield’s Eruption wine and we closed the blinds. After we ate, we sat in the backyard talking. I found out that he dated someone connected to the show a few years ago and that’s how he ended up auditioning for The Bachelorette. ” Wow, that’s specific about what he brought over. “During his casting weekend in North Carolina, my finale had aired. He and a bunch of the guys watched it and he said he knew that I was his ‘dream babe.’ He said from that moment on he had a crush on me. He was rewarded for that touching story with a makeout session that lasted for what seemed like an eternity.” Nice. “Though he is an expert at lip locking, known among fans of the show as the ‘kissing bandit,’ I was getting hot and bothered and needed more. ‘Arie, I feel like I’m in high school.I can’t just keep making out with you.’” Honestly, a lot of Bachelor Nation nicknames are super weird. But we love how direct she is about her thirst. “He was hesitant for a millisecond, but then we headed into my childhood bedroom, into my canopy bed, for what can only be described as the best sex I’ve ever had.” That’s some serious praise. Courtney’s only had sex with, like, 15 guys (and she’s gorgeous!), but still . “Why was it so good you ask? Arie’s incredibly passionate and utilizes his entire body in his lovemaking. And he knows exactly what positions make a woman feel comfortable and satisfied.” So, in summary: Arie’s really great in bed. Courtney kept coming back for more for half a decade. But he likes to move around a lot, and we don’t mean in the bedroom. That sounds exhausting or lonely, depending upon whether you envision yourself dragging yourself along with him or staying at home until he returns. But maybe on his season of The Bachelor , Arie will find a woman who also likes … ugh … going places and doing things . We’ll keep an eye out when that season begins!

Amanda Stanton: Returning to Bachelor in Paradise!

If you don’t find love first, or second time, try again.  That appears to be the mantra Amanda Stanton is sticking to since it has been confirmed that she will be returning for Season 4 of Bachelor in Paradise .  You may be scratching your head because, well, she found love last summer on the hit ABC reality series. However, things have changed since she was loved up with Josh Murray.  For a start, the two of them have been apart for a few months now, and the current state of their relationship seems friendly. That is If you consider Josh getting the police involved to get a car back he purchased for Amanda.  They’re on the outs, and that’s probably part of the reason why the reality TV star is making another go at love on ABC.  With Bachelor Nation couples dropping like flies, there may be some surprising cast members on the next season of the frothy Summer series.  If you were hoping for Josh to stage an encore to the series, then you can keep on hoping. A source told Us Weekly that he has no intention of appearing on the series.  However, there’s no telling what these reality TV stars would do if they were offered the right amount of zeros on a check.  Amanda has been vocal in the past about what went wrong with the relationship, and it sure sounds like it was all down to the luxurious dates in front of the cameras coming to an end.  “When we were on the show, it felt like I had met the love of my life,” she told Us. “It’s really hard, I think, to move on from that. I think we’re both having a hard time moving on.” “There’s a lot of things and situations in the real world you don’t experience while you’re there [in Paradise],” she added. Wouldn’t it be hilarious if Ben Higgins was on the show and we got to see them get together? We could only imagine Lauren Bushnell’s reaction if that were to happen.  Bachelor in Paradise returns this August! View Slideshow: Bachelor in Paradise Season 4: Cast Members Who Need to Be There
