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 .

Brooks Forester: Happy For Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried, Not Regretting Breakup

Brooks Forester says he’s beyond happy for Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried’s engagement, but does not regret flaking out on The Bachelorette when he did. Though some fans were hoping – and The Bachelorette spoilers predicted – Brooks would return in the finale and beg for a second chance, he did not. Brooks, who is single, has no regrets about that, either. “I know I made the right decision,” Forester says. “That was about being honest with Des and myself and that conversation, as difficult as it was and as bad as it hurt. I just don’t know how I can regret being honest.” “I look back and say that was the right decision.” “I never had a moment where I felt like I should go back and hash things out. Were there things I missed about [Des] and was I sad to see our relationship come to a close? Yes.” Brooks Forester adds, “Des deserves to be in love with someone that is equally in love with her. If she was at that point, great, I needed to get there and I just wasn’t.” As for the man who was, Chris Siegfried? The Bachelorette Finale Recap – Desiree Hartsock Engaged “I am excited for them and I wish them the best. As I said last night, it was apparent that Des had those feelings for Chris and I know Chris has those feelings for her.” “I love Chris. I think he is a genuine person and a great guy. Des got what she deserves and I couldn’t be happier for them,” says her one-time top pick. Brooks admits it was hard being portrayed as the “frontrunner” on the reality show, let alone being called as the winner in Bachelorette spoilers columns for months. “The last two months have been difficult,” he says, looking back. “Everyone assumed we were together. I am glad that it is over.” Did Desiree make the right choice?   Yes! Chris totally loves her and she loves him! No. Brooks was the one that got away. View Poll » Will Desiree and Chris last?   Yes!
