Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried: Married!!

The Bachelorette star Desiree Hartsock said “I do” to Chris Siegfried in California yesterday, making it official with her final rose recipient from 2013! According to her rep, Desiree Hartsock wed Chris in Palos Verdes, Calif., following an 18-month engagement to the man she picked on the ABC reality hit. They currently live together in Seattle, where Des relocated to be with the former baseball player turned mortgage banker after they got engaged. Chris Tweeted the weekend before last, “So excited for the big day! @DesHartsock and I can’t wait to share with everyone! #countdown #9days #hopingforsun.” Fortunately for a wedding held in Southern California , that’s a pretty safe bet … as is the fact that Desiree would look stunning walking down the aisle. A bridal stylist by trade, “once Chris and I got engaged we started talking about the wedding right away, probably before the finale even aired,” she said. “We talked about what we would want and pieced together both of our ideas,” but in the end, “I’m most excited to walk down the aisle and see Chris.” “And then of course to get down on the dance floor with him!” Desiree and Chris faced many doubters early on after he appeared to be her distant second choice being Brooks Forester for much if not all of her season. Clearly, they proved the critics wrong and then some. Desiree Hartsock & Chris Siegfried: A Bachelorette Romance 1. Desiree Hartsock, Chris Siegfried Photograph The Bachelorette stars Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried are officially married! The two tied the knot January 18, 2015. The wedding comes days after The Bachelorette couple from 2014, Andi Dorfman and Josh Murray broke up after being engaged for just six months. After yesterday, Desiree officially joins Trista Sutter and Ashley Hebert in the exclusive club of Bachelorette stars to marry their final rose recipients. On The Bachelor side, Sean Lowe and Jason Mesnick recently wed their winners as well, so the franchise has been on a (relative) romantic tear lately. Congratulations, Desiree and Chris!

Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried Post Sweet Proposal Photo, Make Us Eat Our Words?

Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried sometimes try too hard, but in posting this cute pic from the day they got engaged in Antigua, they showed us. The Bachelorette posted on Twitter, “This Seattle rain makes me want to go back to Antigua for the sun! And it’s such a special place. #whereChrisProposed” At first glance, it appears like yet another classic Desiree move seemingly concocted to remind us they’re still together and to STEP OFF HATERS. We know he proposed there, even though the spoilers had it wrong (speaking of which, check out The Bachelor spoilers for 2014). Move on, girl. Upon second look, though, Des and Chris look so happy, content and normal in this photo. Relaxed, over the moon, in love. No trying too hard there. It’s true that the opportunities and recognition that come with The Bachelorette are nice perks … and headaches, when the tabloids turn on you. But in the end, it’s clear they’re in heaven just being together, even if they’re reportedly pushing for a TV wedding a la Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici . Des and Chris might just make it work long-term. If they can forget about the fame, and the critics whose opinions don’t matter, they’ll be in good shape. What do you think: Will Desiree Hartsock marry Chris Siegfried?   Yes! They’re together for all the right reasons! No. There’s no chemistry there. View Poll »

Desiree Hartsock: Already Bored With Chris Siegfried?

Is Desiree Hartsock already bored with fiance Chris Siegfried? People are probably just reading into this too much, but here’s how that rumor got started: She asked for help on Twitter, writing, “Ready for a relaxing date night with @ChrisRSiegfried! What are your favorite date night things to do??? Need ideas.” Desiree Hartsock , mind you, has been engaged all of two months. Clearly, this could be just a thing someone Tweets. We realize. And maybe a fan will come through with a truly awesome Seattle-area date idea . Still, part of you has to wonder why she would ask that, given the image of the “honeymoon phase” that she tries to project pretty much at all times. It’s just a little bit strange, especially given the fact that: They live in the vibrant city of Seattle, which has a lot to offer You’d think doing nothing would be perfect for a couple SO in love (or so they claim). Is that not what the honeymoon phase is about? Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried: Will it Last? Guess if your courtship involved climbing mountains, repelling down buildings, dining at five-star eateries and making out on tropical beaches, real life is boring? Bachelorette couple or not, one might say it’s a red flag if she’s already lacking for things to do with Chris Siegfried (which wouldn’t shock some fans). Or we’re totally misinterpreting and inventing this. You tell us: Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried: Will it last?   Yes! They’re together for all the right reasons! No. There’s no chemistry there. View Poll »

Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried: Cracking Under the Pressure?

Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried of The Bachelorette really want us to believe everything is fine between them. Blissful, in fact. But is that really the case? From celebrity gossip reports that it’s already over, to cryptic Tweets and Des’ brother meeting up with her ex (more on that shortly), it’s been a strange week. Desiree Hartsock, for her part, Tweeted earlier this week, “It’s not about looking into each others eyes but looking out in the same direction. – Ice T” Ever since the show ended, some have felt that she’s been defending her relationship with Chris Siegfried, and is simply trying too hard with stuff like this. Reading too much into it? Probably. But this has been a trend. Chris, for his part, posted a few days back, “Enjoying my weekend with @DesHartsock and some friends in Chelan! Peaceful getaway! #MuchNeeded” Much needed getaway from what? The scrutiny of being in the public eye and having your relationship picked apart cannot be easy, but it seems like they’re letting it get to them a bit. There will be vocal naysayers. This is part of the deal with The Bachelorette. It’s as if they’re trying to make a point and quiet the chatter that can’t be silenced. And then there’s this: Just weeks after he said his sister obviously settled for her second choice on The Bachelorette finale, Nate Hartsock is back at it … with Zak Waddell. Yes, he’s hanging out with the fourth-place finisher this season. Why and what that means for Des, we have no idea, but it’s a little bit strange, no? Zak tweeted a photo with Nate, saying, “So great meeting Desiree’s brother @nate_hartsock83 What a great person! Help me welcome him to San Antonio.” Anyway, you tell us, THGers, in the survey below: Will Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried last?   Yes! They’re together for all the right reasons!

Chris Siegfried, Desiree Hartsock Fiance & The Bachelorette Winner, To Publish Poetry

Chris Siegfried, this year’s winner of The Bachelorette and Desiree Hartsock’s everlasting love, is publishing a book of his poetry, he revealed on Twitter. The book is called Diamonds + Hearts: A Poetic Memoir. While we admire Chris Siegfried for getting the girl and putting it all on the line, we’re not sure about his “prose.” It seems better suited for, say, The Bachelorette: “I step out of that limo / You, standing there so beautiful in that dress / I lost my breath for that moment / Then thought, getting down on one knee would be best.” Right? So sweet in that setting … and that’s about it. It’s unclear who is publishing this, but Siegfield notes in his tweet to “stay tuned” for more info. In the meantime, here’s one he co-wrote with Desiree Hartsock : Experiences we share together keep the memories close to heart, so that with time our love never parts. No matter the distance or the hours away, know that I’m somewhere thinking of you. Just as the waves crash into the shore, I long for the day that I will be with you forevermore . Will they be, though? Tell us in our poll, THGers: Will Desiree and Chris be together forever?   Yes! They’re together for all the right reasons! No. There’s no chemistry there. View Poll »

Desiree Hartsock & Chris Siegfried Move in Together, Tweet a Lot

The Bachelorette stars Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried have been (publicly) engaged all of a week, and fans still aren’t totally sold on them as a couple. They’re certainly both doing their best to change that. Reports that they were moving in together immediately after the finale were true. They made sure everyone knew about the big move on social media! The future Mrs. Siegfried is now a Seattle resident. She wrote, along with pics of a going-away party: “On the road again! 😉 @ChrisRSiegfried  #newchapter #roadtrips #mylove #goodbyeCali #helloSeattle.” “Always hard to say goodbye… but hello to my new chapter with @chrisrsiegfried.” Upon arriving, Desiree Hartsock shared, “Home. Sweet. Home. #Seattle.” It’s not out of the realm of possibility that ABC is pushing the frequent Instagram and Twitter use to keep viewers engaged and convince us they’re in love. Or maybe they just are that much in love and have to share every detail. Even it’s all genuine, some see it as an attempt to prove that he’s no “rebound” or “second choice,” and that there’s nothing about the show that’s fake. The Bachelorette Finale Recap – Desiree Hartsock Engaged Will they make to the altar? Even Chris Harrison is skeptical . Only time will tell, of course, if the “honeymoon” phase wears off, or whether they can adapt to major life changes after such an unusual, whirlwind courtship.

Brooks Forester on The Bachelorette: Will He Return For Season Finale?

There’s never been a season quite like this one, which has left fans clueless, up in arms and clamoring for The Bachelorette spoilers heading into the finale. In part one of the two-part, five-hour season-ender, leading lady Desiree Hartsock was awkwardly, painfully dumped by her first choice, Brooks Forester. Brooks Forester Dumps Desiree Hartsock She has two guys left, but having basically admitted that her feelings for Drew Kenney and Chris Siegfried aren’t on that same level, what will she do now? ABC has not released a single clip beyond Desiree talking to host Chris Harrison to talk about Brooks’ exit. How the heck are they going to fill 2-3 hours? Harrison teases that “There’s nothing typical about this finale.” No kidding. But does Brooks Forester come back or what? “It begins with her and I sitting down and putting the pieces together,” Chris says . “Are you going to give these other guys a chance? Is that even possible?” “The other dynamic is that Chris and Drew have no clue because we separate everybody … we owe it to them to have a conversation and tell them what happened.” So there’s a lot of filler coming. But then there’s this teaser: “And then there’s Brooks. If anybody was ever set to come back and be wishy-washy, it’s him,” Harrison says. “There’s definitely that option.” All season long, The Bachelorette spoilers have hinted at an engagement, despite the recent chatter that she leaves as single as the day she started. Nothing we’ve seen so far, from the “cliffhanger” editing of the show last week to the HOUR-LONG breakup of Brooks and Des, suggests he’s out of the picture. In fact, if he were, that would truly make last week shocking. You tell us, THGers: Will Desiree Hartsock find her fairy tale ending next Monday night?

The Bachelorette Spoilers: Shocking Ending Ahead!

The web has been abuzz with The Bachelorette spoilers this month, as fans Desiree Hartsock prepares for what could be a rocky lead-up to the finale. While in the past, The Bachelor or The Bachelorette spoilers have centered around which suitor the star would pick, this year looks a bit different. Heading into the August 5 season-ender, most of the uncertainty surrounding Desiree Hartsock relates to whether she ends up engaged or heartbroken . Brooks Forester has been the favorite all season long, both among those offering spoilers and on screen. Des has even admitted she’s in love. So what’s the big twist keeping this from being a foregone conclusion? Even the producers themselves are weighing in on the unusual nature of this particular “journey” for love, and hinting that it may not end smoothly. Misleading teases that don’t come to fruition or are underwhelming in the end are standard for this show, but you don’t often hear ones like this: “All I can say is that you will be shocked by how this ends.” Straight from show-runner Mike Fleiss himself, to EW . Yes, we realize that every single week promises THE MOST DRAMATIC ROSE CEREMONY EVER, so you can take that with a boulder of salt. That said, the shot-caller adds that Hartsock’s season’s ending “doesn’t make sense in some ways,” and “It comes out of left field in other ways.” The two-part finale is “the weirdest ending we’ve ever had, for sure,” and while he won’t say if the parties involves are happy, “it sure is interesting to watch.” The Bachelorette Season Finale Preview (Part I) All season long, The Bachelorette spoilers from Reality Steve, the thorn in Fless’ side for so many years, indicate that Desiree Hartsock does get engaged. However, many suspect that something pretty big happens in the next two episodes that no one will see coming, and that could render his spoilers moot. By all accounts, he says, Drew Kenney is eliminated in third place, setting up a Chris Siegfried vs. Brooks Forester finale one week from Monday. On the season finale, Brooks allegedly proposes and Des accepts, but even the king of The Bachelorette spoilers is spotty on these next two weeks. However it ends, we can pretty much guarantee that there will be unforeseen conflict, and that it involves Brooks. The question is how, and why? In its preview for this coming Monday, ABC indicates that as Desiree is on overnight dates with Drew and Chris, Brooks is in the U.S. with his family. This is unheard of on the show, as contestants typically have no time with family before or after hometown dates, which aired two episodes ago. Brooks, the network says in its press release, is “torn between his strong feelings for Desiree when he is with her and insecurities when he is not.” A heart-to-heart with his mother and sister help inspire his confidence and “with the reassurance he needs, [Brooks] boards the plane for Antigua.” The drama doesn’t end there, though, as Brooks Forester and Chris Harrison have their own heart-to-heart and “some shocking news is shared.” Desiree and Brooks later talk this through, which leads to “one of the most explosive, dramatic, emotional moments in Bachelorette history.” Intriguing, isn’t it? How do you think it will play out?

Trayvon Martin Linked to Hate Crime Victims in Controversial N.Y. Daily News Cover

Less than 48 hours after the controversial George Zimmerman verdict , the N.Y. Daily News ran a powerful front page about the victim, Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman was found not guilty on Saturday in the killing of Martin, a decision by a Florida jury that set off a wave of protests around the country. The Daily News explicitly linked Martin, the slain teen, to martyrs of the civil rights movement ( Emmett Till ), and black victims of hate crimes (James Byrd, Jr.): For the last 17 months, the case has been a lightning rod for gun debates, legal disputes, and perhaps most notably, racial tension across the U.S. Clearly, the Daily News is prepared to stoke those flames. The newspaper’s cover plays on Martin’s hoodie, which became a symbol of his (alleged) racial profiling in the aftermath of his February 2012 slaying. Zimmerman claimed, conversely, that he did not profile Martin – his brother Robert Zimmerman Jr. said race was not a factor in the case – that night. Instead, he cited media bias against the accused, who claimed self-defense, and urged that people respect the jury’s verdict before rushing to judgment. What do you think: Did the jury get it right?

The Bachelorette: Who Did Desiree Hartsock Send Home? Who Will Win?

The rumor mill is swirling as to who Desiree Hartsock picks on The Bachelorette. Spoilers up until now have been accurate … but what about going forward? The field of 25 has been narrowed to just four, as tonight’s hometown dates featured Brooks Forester, Chris Siegfried, Drew Kenney and Zak Waddell. The favorite coming in? Brooks, in many people’s minds. But did he come away with a rose tonight? Who got sent home? And who – if anyone – do The Bachelorette spoilers say Desiree gets engaged to in the finale? There have been reports that Des will pull a Brad Womack and pick no one, perhaps because Brooks, who she’s in love with is not on the same page. In any case, he got a rose tonight, along with … Chris Seigfried and Drew Kenney! Initially, The Bachelorette spoilers had Drew getting the boot this evening, but recent intel suggested Zak would be the odd man out after hometowns. Looks like he indeed was. Going forward, talk has been that Des might shock everyone by sending ALL three home, but this may just be classic misdirection from the producers. Our guess would be that she does get engaged at the end, and that there’s no real catch. One gets eliminated next week, another the week after. She then gives the final rose to [your best guess] and they live happily ever after … or at least date for a few months before they call it off. Who knows. Only time will tell, but word is that the rumored final two are still iron clad. Follow the link above to see who they (allegedly) are, and stay tuned!
