Kelly Ripa Is Not a Fan of Relationship Exhibits
To be honest, Kelly is rarely imply about it. In truth, she praised Grant effusively all through their interview.
She simply thinks relationship exhibits are a dumb concept, and everybody concerned could be higher off occurring Tinder. She might need a degree there!
“I’m going to kick off with my usual question,” Kelly mentioned to Grant. “I’m sure they prepped you for me. Thirty-one years old, look at this guy. Gorgeous.”
Kelly’s husband and co-host, Mark Consuelos, chimed in, “Good-looking guy. Tall.”

“Former pro basketball player. Why are you on a dating show? I could get you married in three minutes. I could get you married yesterday, a week ago, six months ago.”
Consuelos argued that he and Ripa may match Ellis up with a younger woman “by the end of the show.” Kelly claimed that they “could have a melange of women here” prepared for him.
“And some men,” Mark added.

Grant Tells His Story
Grant defined that he was as soon as in a seven-year relationship. When that ended he was “single for a while,” and it was his mom who determined that he ought to take his probabilities on TV.
“And then my mom, she saw The Golden Bachelor, and she signed me up,” he shared.

“That’s when I was like, I’m going to do it,” Grant defined. “Might find my person, might not, but that’s how it happened.”
“Either way, it’s going to launch your TV career. Because look at that face! That’s ridiculous,” Kelly gushed.
So yeah, Kelly shouldn’t be a giant believer within the Bachelor course of. And given how few profitable marriages this franchise has yielded, we don’t blame her.
However she is a giant believer in Grant.
