Gabi Elnicki Explains Why She Chose Not To Go On Bachelor In Paradise
After getting her heart broken by Zach Shallcross on The Bachelor, fans were hoping to see Gabi Elnicki on Season 9 of Bachelor In Paradise. After all, several of her Season 27 castmates were on the beach, including Cat Carter, Brooklyn Willie, and Kylee Russell.
However, going to Mexico was the last thing on Elnicki’s mind. During a recent Q&A with her followers on Instagram, the Season 27 runner-up shared insight on the decision.
Responding to a question about why she isn’t on Season 9, the Bachelor Nation alum wrote, “I did not feel paradise would be a good environment for me given my ending on the bachelor.”
She added that it “felt more important” to “protect my peace” rather than going on BIP.
Elnicki shared another reason – she started dating someone and wanted to ‘see where things went” in the new relationship. She previously showed off her new man, so it may not come as a huge surprise to Bachelor Nation fans why she skipped Bachelor In Paradise.
Where Does She Stand With Kaity Biggar?
During Season 27 of The Bachelor, Gabi Elnicki and Kaity Biggar bonded. Some fans wondered how their friendship would overcome Elnicki being intimate with Zach Shallcross, who would later go on to propose to Biggar.
And fans are still wondering, with one question asking if the two are “still close.”
Elnicki decided to have some fun in her response. She posted a video of Biggar sitting beside her, sipping a drink, and wrote, “No, we just hang out sometimes.”
