Bachelorette Alum Shares Adorable Photo Of Newborn

Bachelorette star Shawn Booth shocked his followers in July 2023 by announcing he was expecting a child. He hadn’t been publicly linked to anyone since his engagement to Kaitlyn Bristowe ended in 2018. The fitness trainer later revealed that his baby mama was a woman named Dre Joseph.

The two welcomed their son in December. The former reality star fully embraced the role of fatherhood and often shares updates about his son on his Instagram.

Shawn Booth Called Out By Former Employee

Shawn Booth and Dre Joseph discussed her pregnancy often on his In The Booth podcast. He recently had another guest on to talk about maternity leave in the US To kick the conversation off, the Bachelorette star listed off the maternity leave from other countries such as the UK and Germany.

For example, you can take up to 52 weeks of maternity leave in the UK, with 39 of those weeks paid leave. However, the US only offers 12 weeks of unpaid leave.

Shawn Booth and his guest vented about how unfair that is to working mothers, including Dre.

However, a former employee of Shawn’s Nashville gym took to Instagram to call him out. The unnamed former employee claims that she was taken off the schedule when she was seven months pregnant. She further claims to have worked at the gym for over three years.

The former employee’s post ended up on Reddit as Bachelor Nation fans discussed it.

Bachelor Nation Fans Drag Him

Bachelor Nation fans did not hesitate to pile on Shawn Booth. Many comments claimed to have never liked him when he was on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season.

Some posts alluded to Shawn’s political leanings, claiming he is a conservative. Check out some of the comments dragging the Bachelorette alum:

  • Drag him sis.
  • I’ve never heard anything good about this douche
  • Shawn has always sucked, no surprise this happened.
  • Shawn is a stain on golden retriever parents
  • Almost like he feels paid parental leave should be guaranteed and not left up to companies to decide. Highly doubt he votes for the party that agrees with him.
  • I mean, it’s safe to assume 99% of the people in this franchise are trash
  • So this convo sounded like Dre going back to work was frustrating news, and he was sounding very annoyed by it as though it was fresh news. Maybe something happened with her work and they aren’t holding her job?
  • I think it’s funny that he was once super private so we didn’t know much about him, so he seemed ok. Now he has a podcast and nowhere to hide the ugliness of his real persona.
