The Bachelor<\/em>\u00a0season 28 runner-up\u00a0Daisy Kent<\/strong>\u00a0is opening up about her connection \u2014 or lack thereof \u2014 with Bachelor\u00a0Joey Graziadei<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cIf I\u2019m being honest, there was something always missing between us,\u201d Daisy, 25, said during a Tuesday, April 2, appearance on the \u201cBachelor Happy Hour\u201d podcast. \u201cAnd I felt in ways I was kind of trying to force it to be there because I felt like we are a lot alike in ways. But I also \u2014 I just felt like there was something always missing between us. And I think for a period of the show, I just kind of ignored it. And then when it got to the ending, I was like, \u2018Yeah. I\u2019m right. There is something missing between us.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Daisy, who\u00a0ended things with Joey, 28, herself during the season finale in March, recalled feeling like something was off before the hometown dates.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom that last rose ceremony, when I saw him and\u00a0Kelsey<\/strong>\u00a0[Anderson<\/strong>], I could just tell there was this energy between them. And I was like, \u2018I don\u2019t think it\u2019s me,\u2019 for a second. I remember thinking that,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd then I remember I broke down crying and they both hugged me.\u201d<\/p>\n Daisy put her feelings about Joey and Kelsey, 25, who\u00a0got engaged\u00a0during the season finale, aside during hometowns.<\/p>\n \u201cI think I kind of just blocked it out,\u201d she explained. \u201c[Meeting] the family went great. And then after that I was like, \u2018OK, that went so good.\u2019 But [I] didn\u2019t really get to talk to him. When you meet the family, you don\u2019t get to talk to him that much. \u2026 And then going into our next day, I was just so filled with anxiety and it didn\u2019t feel like the excitement I had always felt when I was going to see him and everything just started to physically hurt my whole body. I was just like, \u2018This doesn\u2019t feel right.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Prior to ending things with Joey, Daisy told Kelsey what she was planning to do. In a Bachelor Nation first, the two women rode to the proposal together.<\/p>\n \u201cMy reason [for] going to talk to Kelsey was from a friendship standpoint,\u201d Daisy said on Tuesday. \u201cI know they both really cared about me, and I wanted them to know that I was going to be OK and that I supported them and I [wanted] them to be happy. Even though this was really hard for me, it\u2019s still something that I can be happy for them for.\u201d<\/p>\n Daisy added that \u201cthere was a lot more\u201d to her conversation with Kelsey than was shown on TV.<\/p>\n \u201c[We were] just talking about how I was feeling, talking about how she was feeling, talking about [how] we want the best for each other and me saying, \u2018He\u2019s not my person. I know he\u2019s your person,\u2019\u201d she recalled. \u201cShe knew it was her and she knew it wasn\u2019t me. And she said, \u2018I\u2019ve been worried about you all week because I felt that it was going to be me.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Kelsey shared\u00a0her thoughts about the conversation during a joint appearance with Joey on the \u201cBachelor Happy Hour\u201d podcast last month. When asked whether the conversation \u201cspoiled\u201d Joey\u2019s proposal, Kelsey replied, \u201cI think that I went back and forth at the very beginning of like, \u2018Oh, I really, I don\u2019t know. Did I want that? Did I not?\u2019 But at the end of the day, it\u2019s what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n She added that Daisy \u201chad really good intent\u201d and is \u201ca wonderful woman.\u201d Joey, meanwhile, admitted with a laugh: \u201cI don\u2019t know if I would\u2019ve liked it.\u201d<\/p>\n While many thought that Daisy\u2019s honesty during the season finale made her the perfect candidate for next season\u2019s\u00a0Bachelorette<\/em>, she turned down the offer during\u00a0After the Final Rose<\/em>\u00a0last month. (Jenn Tran<\/strong>, who was in Joey\u2019s final six, was announced as\u00a0next season\u2019s leading lady.)<\/p>\n \u201cI know it\u2019s a time for me to focus on the things I love and the people I love. And so right now, no, I\u2019m not ready. And that\u2019s OK,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I\u2019m really proud of myself for realizing that.\u201d<\/p>\n Daisy said on Tuesday that she could \u201cdefinitely\u201d see herself as the lead of a dating show in the future.<\/p>\n \u201cRight now it\u2019s just not a good time for me to do something like that,\u201d she explained. \u201cBut I loved being on the show and I had such a great experience.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Bachelor\u00a0season 28 runner-up\u00a0Daisy Kent\u00a0is opening up about her connection \u2014 or lack thereof \u2014 with Bachelor\u00a0Joey Graziadei. \u201cIf I\u2019m being honest, there was something always missing… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":5214,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5210","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5210"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5210"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5210\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5215,"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5210\/revisions\/5215"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
