Despite their apparent connection, the mum-of-one— who rose to fame in 2016 after winning Richie Strahan’s heart on The Bachelor — said right before the pair were supposed to go on a date, Brooke blew her off!

“She would say its not [true] and thats not the case, but she absolutely stood me up,” she said with a laugh.
