Hold scrolling to learn Hannah’s solutions to questions on her breakup with Nick and extra:
Us: Why did you determine to finish issues with Nick?HJ: Nick was away at one other pal’s marriage ceremony. My mother was on the town and he had simply met my buddies. We have been having points. It simply appeared at that time I used to be simply dogging him and I used to be being the nastiest model of myself. We have been bringing out the worst variations in one another. It wasn’t a particular factor. It was identical to, ‘OK, we’re making an attempt on marriage ceremony attire [and] I can’t do that. We shouldn’t be getting married.’
Us: Is there a cause you didn’t need to look forward to the weddings?HJ: I feel it will be merciless to have his household and my household come to the marriage after we each know that that is most likely not gonna work out. However the different factor is — we simply didn’t like one another towards the top. I used to be not being good and I don’t know why he would wanna proceed that. It was identical to, ‘We have to break this off earlier than it will get nastier ’trigger it’s already getting nasty.’
Us: Nick got here off a bit shocked by the breakup — did you perceive why he may’ve been confused about why you ended issues?HJ: I don’t actually know. It’s actually onerous for me to grasp it and I nonetheless have bother understanding him to today. However I feel he was shocked as a result of he wished to go all the best way. I don’t assume it ought to have been a shock as a result of it was fairly apparent that we weren’t gonna make it. I used to be speaking to him horribly and I apologize for that, however I simply can’t consider he let me. I shouldn’t have executed that, however he’d let me do it.
Us: How a lot did Nick’s chat with Katie play into the breakup?HJ: I used to be simply annoyed by the entire scenario. I felt prefer it was like, ‘Hey, I’m proper right here. I’ve no clue what’s happening.’ I feel it was just a little bit out of line, nevertheless it’s not that severe. It was simply that [they] have been speaking for nearly an hour and I used to be standing proper there and didn’t even give it some thought. I used to be like, ‘What are you speaking about?’ … I had no clue. Now that I watch it, I feel it’s utterly innocent — not that I feel she gave him phenomenal recommendation — however I had no clue what they have been saying to one another. I used to be very annoyed at that second, like, in the event you can’t simply merely clarify [when] I’m interested in what’s happening, then, possibly, sooner or later it’ll be worse. It was simply one other factor that was troublesome.
Us: Is Katie nonetheless one among your “finest buddies?”HJ: Katie, myself and Marissa, we name ourselves the trio and we’re very shut. As you possibly can see, I’m very dramatic and [when I said], ‘She’s one of the best pal in the entire world,’ [I meant], like, we have been very shut within the pods. And I feel what folks don’t understand is that simply as quick as you may get married to somebody, you possibly can develop friendships simply as quick. We have been good buddies. Possibly she’s not my finest pal in the entire extensive world, however we’re good buddies.
Us: Do you assume Nick misled you in any respect with feedback about his appears to be like and being a soccer participant?HJ: It’s actually onerous as a result of if he was being humorous concerning the Travis Kelce [comparison] or no matter — if that was a joke, you possibly can’t inform it’s a joke on the opposite finish. Like, it’s onerous. I couldn’t inform. In order that’s what you’re anticipating. However not solely that, Nick, as the opposite women [said], Nick isn’t what [we] anticipated. Though Nick could be very enticing. Nick was identical to, ‘I’ve one inexperienced eye, I’ve one blue eye, I’m Cuban, I gave freckles, I’m an enormous man.’ He painted a lot about himself. … He gave so many traits that you just couldn’t assist however construct this individual [in your head]. when he wasn’t that individual — which is completely effective — it was simply stunning. I feel we have been each responsible in the best way; I took what he stated and ran with it, regardless that that’s ‘reason for my very own creativeness. However he additionally gave away a variety of data to the place I did have a picture of him.
Us: Do you assume that set you two up for catastrophe — conversations about your appears to be like?HJ: Possibly. [I know] me speaking about how I used to be a cheerleader was a factor too. I’m like, ‘Have y’all ever seen a fats cheerleader earlier than?’ You’re in there and also you’re so assured, so that you’re simply speaking and also you’re not even pondering that, like, issues that you just’re saying might give away what you appear like or paint an image of one thing that’s not the fact. I feel we’re positively each responsible of it, even when we didn’t imply to. And so after we noticed one another, I used to be simply sincere, like, I believed he was a lot taller than me and he wasn’t.
Us: What did you imply while you stated you felt “manipulated” by Nick throughout your relationship?HJ: I felt manipulated in the best way, like — let’s go to the forbidden matter of intercourse, as an example. One of many causes that Nick and I developed such a detailed relationship and it was nearly lustful in a means [is] we talked about intercourse loads and we have been very open about it. And when he first informed me [he didn’t want to talk about it on camera] I simply thought, ‘OK, I get it. Buddies, household [will see it], his dad and mom are Catholic.’ However then I began to assume — I don’t perceive why you don’t wanna share this on digital camera. It is a big drawback that we’re having in our relationship. And I feel that is stemming from my anger, which isn’t a very good factor, nevertheless it was. I felt like I wanted to speak about it and him saying that he didn’t wanna speak about it, I felt like he simply didn’t need something to make him look not in a very good gentle. … I used to be merciless to Nick and I utterly apologized. I shouldn’t have acted that means, however I feel I used to be simply so annoyed as a result of after we have been on digital camera, he didn’t say a lot and he was simply very a lot, like, agreeable, however we’re not agreeing off digital camera.
Us: So do you assume Nick wasn’t as open when the cameras have been rolling?HJ: I feel all the pieces that you just see is predicated on fact. We stated what we stated. [But] it’s a TV present and there’s a lot extra to our relationship which you can see. They only can’t present all the pieces. It’s not attainable. Once we have been on digital camera, it was very completely different.
Us: Have you ever talked to him in any respect because the present began airing?HJ: We don’t converse.
Us: What’s your No. 1 query for Nick on the reunion?HJ: Why did you let me converse to you in that means? Or, like, why did you let me deal with you want that? I shouldn’t have handled you want that, [but] if we actually cherished one another and stuff, why did we wanna proceed this If it was making you depressing? I simply wanna perceive.
Us: And what would your No. 1 query be for one more one among your costars?HJ: I need to know why Tim is mad that Alex is taking naps. Let her sleep! She didn’t even get to complete her dinner — what was that about?
Us: What about Leo — when it wasn’t figuring out with Nick, did any a part of you assume, ‘Oh my God, ought to I’ve gone with Leo?’HJ: Once we had our dramatic breakup, that put a nasty style in my mouth for a bit. Leo, really, was not even on my thoughts in any respect as a result of I used to be so laser centered on Nick. After which after the expertise, you at all times assume like, ‘What would’ve been if I’d’ve chosen somebody completely different? What would that relationship be like?’ It could be utterly completely different, however you’ll by no means know. I give it some thought generally, nevertheless it’s not on the entrance of my thoughts or something.
