Preserve scrolling to learn Hannah’s solutions to questions on her breakup with Nick and extra:
Us: Why did you determine to finish issues with Nick?
HJ: Nick was away at one other buddy’s wedding ceremony. My mother was on the town and he had simply met my pals. We had been having points. It simply appeared at that time I used to be simply dogging him and I used to be being the nastiest model of myself. We had been bringing out the worst variations in one another. It wasn’t a selected factor. It was identical to, ‘OK, we’re making an attempt on wedding ceremony attire [and] I can’t do that. We shouldn’t be getting married.’
Us: Is there a motive you didn’t need to look ahead to the weddings?
HJ: I feel it will be merciless to have his household and my household come to the marriage after we each know that that is in all probability not gonna work out. However the different factor is — we simply didn’t like one another towards the top. I used to be not being good and I don’t know why he would wanna proceed that. It was identical to, ‘We have to break this off earlier than it will get nastier ’trigger it’s already getting nasty.’
Us: Nick got here off a bit shocked by the breakup — did you perceive why he may’ve been confused about why you ended issues?
HJ: I don’t actually know. It’s actually arduous for me to know it and I nonetheless have bother understanding him to today. However I feel he was shocked as a result of he needed to go all the best way. I don’t suppose it ought to have been a shock as a result of it was fairly apparent that we weren’t gonna make it. I used to be speaking to him horribly and I apologize for that, however I simply can’t imagine he let me. I shouldn’t have finished that, however he’d let me do it.
Us: How a lot did Nick’s chat with Katie play into the breakup?
HJ: I used to be simply pissed off by the entire state of affairs. I felt prefer it was like, ‘Hi there, I’m proper right here. I’ve no clue what’s occurring.’ I feel it was just a little bit out of line, however it’s not that critical. It was simply that [they] had been speaking for nearly an hour and I used to be standing proper there and didn’t even give it some thought. I used to be like, ‘What are you speaking about?’ … I had no clue. Now that I watch it, I feel it’s utterly innocent — not that I feel she gave him phenomenal recommendation — however I had no clue what they had been saying to one another. I used to be very pissed off at that second, like, if you happen to can’t simply merely clarify [when] I’m interested by what’s occurring, then, possibly, sooner or later it’ll be worse. It was simply one other factor that was troublesome.
Us: Is Katie nonetheless one among your “finest pals?”
HJ: Katie, myself and Marissa, we name ourselves the trio and we’re very shut. As you may see, I’m very dramatic and [when I said], ‘She’s the most effective buddy in the entire world,’ [I meant], like, we had been very shut within the pods. And I feel what individuals don’t understand is that simply as quick as you will get married to somebody, you may develop friendships simply as quick. We had been good pals. Perhaps she’s not my finest buddy in the entire vast world, however we’re good pals.
Us: Do you suppose Nick misled you in any respect with feedback about his appears to be like and being a soccer participant?
HJ: It’s actually arduous as a result of if he was being humorous in regards to the Travis Kelce [comparison] or no matter — if that was a joke, you may’t inform it’s a joke on the opposite finish. Like, it’s arduous. I couldn’t inform. In order that’s what you’re anticipating. However not solely that, Nick, as the opposite women [said], Nick is just not what [we] anticipated. Though Nick could be very enticing. Nick was identical to, ‘I’ve one inexperienced eye, I’ve one blue eye, I’m Cuban, I gave freckles, I’m a giant man.’ He painted a lot about himself. … He gave so many traits that you just couldn’t assist however construct this individual [in your head]. when he wasn’t that individual — which is completely superb — it was simply stunning. I feel we had been each responsible in the best way; I took what he stated and ran with it, regardless that that’s ‘explanation for my very own creativeness. However he additionally gave away quite a lot of info to the place I did have a picture of him.
Us: Do you suppose that set you two up for catastrophe — conversations about your appears to be like?
HJ: Perhaps. [I know] me speaking about how I used to be a cheerleader was a factor too. I’m like, ‘Have y’all ever seen a fats cheerleader earlier than?’ You’re in there and also you’re so assured, so that you’re simply speaking and also you’re not even pondering that, like, issues that you just’re saying may give away what you seem like or paint an image of one thing that’s not the fact. I feel we’re undoubtedly each responsible of it, even when we didn’t imply to. And so after we noticed one another, I used to be simply sincere, like, I believed he was a lot taller than me and he wasn’t.
Us: What did you imply while you stated you felt “manipulated” by Nick throughout your relationship?
HJ: I felt manipulated in the best way, like — let’s go to the forbidden matter of intercourse, as an example. One of many causes that Nick and I developed such a detailed relationship and it was nearly lustful in a approach [is] we talked about intercourse rather a lot and we had been very open about it. And when he first advised me [he didn’t want to talk about it on camera] I simply thought, ‘OK, I get it. Associates, household [will see it], his mother and father are Catholic.’ However then I began to suppose — I don’t perceive why you don’t wanna share this on digicam. It is a large drawback that we’re having in our relationship. And I feel that is stemming from my anger, which isn’t a superb factor, however it was. I felt like I wanted to speak about it and him saying that he didn’t wanna discuss it, I felt like he simply didn’t need something to make him look not in a superb mild. … I used to be merciless to Nick and I utterly apologized. I shouldn’t have acted that approach, however I feel I used to be simply so pissed off as a result of after we had been on digicam, he didn’t say a lot and he was simply very a lot, like, agreeable, however we’re not agreeing off digicam.
Us: So do you suppose Nick wasn’t as open when the cameras had been rolling?
HJ: I feel every part that you just see relies on reality. We stated what we stated. [But] it’s a TV present and there’s a lot extra to our relationship which you could see. They simply can’t present every part. It’s not potential. After we had been on digicam, it was very totally different.
Us: Have you ever talked to him in any respect for the reason that present began airing?
HJ: We don’t communicate.
Us: What’s your No. 1 query for Nick on the reunion?
HJ: Why did you let me communicate to you in that approach? Or, like, why did you let me deal with you want that? I shouldn’t have handled you want that, [but] if we actually liked one another and stuff, why did we wanna proceed this If it was making you depressing? I simply wanna perceive.
Us: And what would your No. 1 query be for an additional one among your costars?
HJ: I need to know why Tim is mad that Alex is taking naps. Let her sleep! She didn’t even get to complete her dinner — what was that about?
Us: What about Leo — when it wasn’t understanding with Nick, did any a part of you suppose, ‘Oh my God, ought to I’ve gone with Leo?’
HJ: After we had our dramatic breakup, that put a foul style in my mouth for a bit. Leo, really, was not even on my thoughts in any respect as a result of I used to be so laser targeted on Nick. After which after the expertise, you at all times suppose like, ‘What would’ve been if I’d’ve chosen somebody totally different? What would that relationship be like?’ It will be utterly totally different, however you’ll by no means know. I give it some thought typically, however it’s not on the entrance of my thoughts or something.
