Re: Bachelorette 14 - Becca Kufrin - Garrett Yrigoyen - FAN Forum - #4

She did say in an interview that Garrett and Minno would be on the bus traveling with her for a portion of the tour.  Ben also said that his girlfriend would be with him for portions of it.  I also heard they would have separate tour buses so each of them can have the private time they will need even when their SO's aren't with them.

Garrett cheering on Becca on GMA from the couch is just the most endearing thing ever!

Warning: Post involves hunting.
Jill (B's mom) replied to G's post, mentioning how similar Steve (B' dad) and Garrett are.

It’s deeper than just posting a picture of a dead animal. I’m showing the animal off, giving thanks, and appreciation to it. I’m exercising my right to hunt and freedom of speech. I love animals, I love them so much that I try my best to conserve them. Can you conserve & kill at the same time? Over population of any species becomes dangerous with the spread of viruses and diseases. I don’t want to see animals and people being affected negatively, when we have the right and freedom to go out and help with conservation through hunting & fishing. The less predators, the higher the population & diseases or viruses that negatively impact humans. #coronavirus that started from birds! I don’t use my platform to conform to anyone, but show you my life and what I love to do. The least I can do is start giving explanations of why! Best of luck to you hunters & anglers this year. Most of us eat meat and utilize grocery stores including myself. But, I like to go out when I can and work for my meals. It’s easy to eat something when you haven’t seen or experienced where it came from and got into your mouth. If you want to throw your conservation approach or facts on here, fire it up!

I'm not going to look at the IG so please post a warning if it warrants one.

Please do not discuss whether or not anyone agree's with Garret as I don't want this FAN thread to go off topic. TYIA

Whenever Becca compared Garrett to her dad, Steve, I always wondered what Jill's opinions were on the matter. We didn't get to see G interact with Jill on the show. Though, we know she loves G now; it's still heartwarming to see her mentioning this - her comment really made me a bit emotional.

"Higgins is set to kick off the “Bachelor Live on Stage” tour Thursday in Mesa, Arizona, where he’ll be joined by fellow Bachelor Nation favorite, Becca Kufrin. And while Kufrin’s fiancé, Garrett Yrigoyen, will hit the road for some time as well, the “Bachelorette” alum plans to make the most of their time together.

“I’m really going to try to reserve as much time alone with him as I can,” Kufrin, 29, told us. “We both have a lot of things going on, tour aside, and work can take over and all of the craziness in the world can take over and so, to just turn off our phones, maybe go for a walk together, just have those quiet moments alone.”

As for her Valentine’s Day plans, Kufrin, like Higgins, believes the special moments shouldn’t be reserved for one day out of the year.

“I don’t think you need one specific day to show how much you love someone,” Kufrin said, noting she and Yrigoyen “just chilled” last year.

“I think we bought a bottle of champagne, we made a good pasta dinner,” she said. “Those are my favorite dates, when we can just cook together and share a bottle of wine and cozy up next to the fire.”

Though Kufrin quipped “jewelry is fine,” should Yrigoyen decide to expand her jewelry collection with some “Ellie” stud earrings ($60) or a “River” gold and diamond bracelet ($600), his support is what she appreciates the most.

“One thing too that I need to keep at the forefront is always telling Garrett how much I appreciate him, because to be so supportive of me to leave for three months is one thing, and I really want him to know how much that means to me, how much he means to me … I couldn’t do it without his support,” Kufrin said.

The couple got engaged on Season 14 of “The Bachelorette” in 2018."

"Ben, 30, told Life & Style exclusively at the Kendra Scott flagship store in New York City. “We [Becca and I] are going to be in Tahoe. The ‘Almost Famous’ podcast is taking us up there, and we are going to be in Reno, Nevada, after that.

Becca, 29, and her fiancé, Garrett Yrigoyen, won’t be going on a double date with the former Bachelor star and his girlfriend since they have other plans. “So, Garrett is from the Reno/Tahoe area, so he has a romantic night surprise for me,” the reality starlet gushed. “I have no idea what we are doing that night, but he is putting something together.”

As for gifts? The brunette beauty spoke about her love for the jewelry brand — 20 percent of all sales from the night benefitted women1one charity, which gives back to women in Africa. “They have their beautiful, timeless dainty pieces, and they have the beautiful big pieces,” she dished. Are you hearing that, Garrett?

Becca — who has been with Garrett, 30, since 2018 — also revealed what their lives look like post-Bachelorette. “We are chill, very low-key,” she explained. “My favorite date nights are just him and I cooking a new recipe in the kitchen together and drinking wine. I am also a huge foodie, so we try to go explore new restaurants because we are fairly new to where we are living. We are not getting private helicopters, people! Maybe once a month, no, just kidding.”

Even though Becca and Garrett moved in to an apartment in San Diego about a year ago, it seems like it was an easy adjustment. “He is not only the best partner and fiancé, but he is the best roommate. He is clean, very organized, he is good at assisting me,” she raved. “I love it. I call him my best adventure buddy partner because he makes everything so fun.”"

"Becca Kufrin and Garrett Yrigoyen met on The Bachelorette, got engaged in the Maldives weeks later, and saw their courtship and proposal play out on national television. But those are pretty much the only “abnormal” things about their relationship, because at the end of the day, Becca Kufrin realized she was in love with Garrett Yrigoyen just like most people realize they’re in love: by crying into a breakfast burrito. You’d probably be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn’t cried over a late-night slice of pizza or a box of chicken nuggets because of someone they had feelings for. (No? Just me? OK.)

During her season of The Bachelorette in 2018, Kufrin visited Yrigoyen’s hometown of Manteca, California and tells Elite Daily that when she met his family, she felt like she’d known them forever. “I felt like I was with my family,” she says. “It just felt really comfortable.” She admits she wanted to spend as much time with Yrigoyen as possible (“because I was just so into him,” she says), so she asked producers if he could ride with her as they traveled from one shooting location to the next. They said yes, so the two got the opportunity to be alone off-camera for about an hour. “We just sat in the back of the van and drank a beer and talked,” she says, which gave him the opportunity to point out spots in his hometown that meant the most to him. “He was like, ’Oh, that's where my high school is, and that's the field I used to go party in.’ Had he not been with me, I would've never gotten those inside little tips.”
At the end of filming in Manteca, Becca and the crew had to fly back to Los Angeles to wrap up the season, and that’s when it hit her. “I was at the airport and I just started crying into my breakfast burrito. And I was with my team of the producers who I was really close with and they're like, ‘Oh my gosh, Becca, are you OK? What's wrong?’ And I was like, ‘I just love Garrett,’” she says.

“It was like a gradual growth that I knew I was feeling for him the entire time, but it hit me hard at that moment. I was like, ‘I love this guy.’ And I hadn't said it to him. I didn't say it to any of the guys. But I just knew.

Two years later, Kufrin says they don’t have any wedding plans just yet, but rest assured that when they do, they’ll be everything but traditional. “We want it to feel like a celebration,” she says. “I don't want the seated, sit-down meals where everyone has their assigned order. I want food trucks. We want games, because we love games. We just want it to be like one big party where everyone is mingling together, dancing, moving around, talking. It's not going to be formal by any means.”

Kufrin is co-hosting The Bachelor: Live On Stage, a two-hour-long, live, untelevised show in 65 cities across the country with former-Bachelor Ben Higgins, from February 13 to May 17. One local bachelor from each city will get the chance to make connections with 10 local bachelorettes on-stage, using elements adapted from the actual show like group dates, fantasy suites, and rose ceremonies. Kufrin tells Elite Daily the shows will be “very interactive,” giving audience members the chance to chime in with their opinions. Although he won’t be on stage with her, Yrigoyen will be joining Kufrin on the road in some cities.

“Garrett is probably the most supportive partner I've ever had in my life,” Kufrin says. “He's like, ‘Whatever you want to do, whatever makes you happy, whatever drives you and gives you purpose, do it.’ I try to do the same for him. On The Bachelorette, I kept saying I want a relationship that's 50/50, and he truly gives that to me.”

The couple moved to Carlsbad, California together in early 2019, and even though Kufrin says they butt heads about “everything,” they work through it because their differences make their relationship fun. “It just gives us variety,” Kufrin says. “I love his sense of humor. I love his outlook on life. He's always smiling and making me laugh, and that's something that I think is really important in a relationship. You just have to be able to laugh with someone through the ups and downs of life, and he constantly gives that to me. He's just really caring. I know he at times tries to act tough and he's such a dude, but he just has a really big heart.”"

I love the story of Becca riding in the car with Garrett and asking the producers to allow it.

Excited to see what surprise Garrett has for Becca on Valentine’s Day!

Hope tonight’s show goes well!!

[respect_is_earned]

I want to once again say that I absolutely love Garrett. This guy has no interest in the limelight and the glitz-glam of the showbiz. But he's currently fishing in the Truckee river with Minno as his companion.
