Zach Shallcross went on to be the Season 27 Bachelor and got engaged to Kaity Biggar. The two live in Texas together and are currently planning their wedding.

Zach joined his fiance for a TikTok video to answer the burning question from a fan about what happened with him and Rachel that night. He warned that the answer is “anti-climatic.” So, what happened?

He went on to say that nothing dramatic happened and the two simply realized they weren’t compatible and didn’t have a future together.
