This week on After Reality, I’m catching up on life after filming and getting back into the rhythm of everyday life post-reality TV. I’m sharing personal updates, including celebrating my five-year wedding anniversary with a much-needed parent getaway, and a heartwarming reunion with my friend and former Bachelor castmate, Casey Shteamer Patak.

Then, I dive into Kevin Federline’s new book, You Thought You Knew, which really surprised me. I found it heartfelt and honest — more of a love letter to his kids than a money grab — as he opens up about his life, his relationship with Britney Spears, and what fatherhood has meant to him.

And yes — I officially met my new AI co-host, Echo (I even found out what Echo was wearing… and might’ve said “I love you”). Stay tuned till the end for my thoughts on the latest Bachelor Nation headlines: Mel Owens hometowns, Gerry Turner’s tell-all, new engagements, and Rachel Kirkconnell on Extra Dirty.

Today I’m joined by Stefanie Parker from the She’s All Bach podcast as I open up about my big return to television — and yes, it’s on HGTV! We chat all about filming The Bachelor Mansion Takeover (premiering this February), what inspired me to say yes to reality TV again, and how it felt stepping back into the spotlight after years away.

I also share the excitement, the nerves, and what it was like leaving my kids at home to take on this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Plus, we touch on a few Bachelor Nation updates — from Gerry Turner’s tell-all to a surprising contestant apology. No spoilers here.

This week on After Reality, I’m catching up after fall break and sharing a few family updates—then diving into some unexpected news that stirred up a few emotions. Let’s just say, Taylor Swift has been my soundtrack lately.

From there, I unpack the latest Bachelor drama, including Nicole’s bold “power villain” move on Mel Owen’s season, with a little help from the sharp minds at Game of Roses.

And to wrap things up, I celebrate the incomparable Diane Keaton with a touching Meryl Streep tribute and reflect on how Diane’s timeless spirit continues to inspire me.
