Speaking to People about his relationship, Chris Harrison said, “It’s been easy and I think that’s how it all starts. We started dating and, like any relationship, she made me happy. She was kind, nice, we got along, she blended in great with my friends, and just all those steps in the relationship where you start checking those boxes off and it gets better and better and better.”

Chris Harrison left the “Bachelor” franchise after receiving backlash for excusing Rachael Kirkconnell’s past racist behaviour. Zima piled on and expressed her dismay at the time.

“What Chris said was wrong and disappointing,” she said in an Instagram Story statement. “It is impossible to defend racism. “Accountability comes first, followed by learning and growth.”
