Kyle said in the confessional,
“Shaina has extreme views on religion, and I have extreme views on religion. I could definitely fall in love with Shaina, but we’re such polar opposites and I don’t think either of us is going to change each other. And it scares me.”
While appearing in the season 2 reunion, Hurley apologized to Abrams for dragging out their relationship longer than it should have. She said,
“Honestly, looking back on it, I should have said no right away to you. 100 percent. I actually do take full ownership. I could have avoided a whole bunch of drama and mess, 100 percent. And I’m owning that,”
She added,
“I’m really sorry that it was led on more than it should have been.”
Hurley first revealed her relationship with Lardakis in earlier March while appearing in the episode of The Viall Files podcast.
She stated,
“I’m actually in a relationship, it’s pretty serious, I’m very happy. He’s been great throughout the whole situation. I’m happy.”
