“The experience I had (on The Bachelor) was really quite challenging for me, and I really hit some levels. But I think I matured quite a bit, so I don’t regret it at all,” he told Stellar magazine.
“It really gave me direction and forced me to understand that meaning is a non-negotiable.”
The 31-year-old said his stint on the show was an eye-opener.
“The experience I had (on The Bachelor) was really quite challenging for me, and I really hit some levels. But I think I matured quite a bit, so I don’t regret it at all,” he continued.
“It really gave me direction and forced me to understand that meaning is a non-negotiable.”
Cummins also responded to claims that he told contestant Brooke Blurton – who left the show despite being a favourite to win – that he couldn’t find love in that type of environment.
“My last day with Nick we were on like a motorbike, I thought there was definitely chemistry there and we’d developed something good. I thought maybe I would be the girl there at the end,” she told the other women on the recent season of Bachelor in Paradise. “But then he stopped the cameras and like smothered his mic to tell me that he wasn’t going to pick anyone in the end.”
But Nick claims that’s not how it went down.
“I said to her, which I’ve said before, that everything feels a bit staged and I don’t think I can find love in this type of environment,” he told the publication.
“I don’t get upset at the public for their viewpoint as they haven’t been in my shoes. But they did see an edit. It’s not a documentary.”
