Former Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise contestant Dean Unglert revealed he once had a crush on former Bachelorette Andi Dorfman. During a recent episode of Help! I Suck at Dating with Dean, Jared &…., he opened up about this crush and how he attempted to get into contact with Dorfman, according to Us Weekly .
Unglert and his podcast co-host and fellow Bachelor Nation alum, Jared Haibon, played a virtual game of spin-the-bottle, with each asking the other personal questions. Haibon questioned Unglert if he had ever secretly direct messaged anyone in Bachelor Nation. Unglert recalled that he once tried to talk to fan-favorite Tyler Cameron, but only in an effort to be friends. Haibon insisted that Cameron did not really count and pushed his co-host to name a woman.
Unglert — who is currently dating Caelynn Miller-Keyes since connecting with her on the last season of Bachelor in Paradise — was hesitant to spill any details but eventually gave in.
“That’s just asking for me to get in trouble with my girlfriend. I think before I had gone on [ Bachelor in ] Paradise for the second time, I might have slid into Andi Dorfman’s DMs. Or, I maybe just asked Amanda Stanton to introduce me to her. I can’t remember. I think it’s the latter, not the former. I don’t know I ever actually officially slid, but there was a point where I had a crush on her.”
Stanton is also a Bachelor in Paradise alum whom Unglert got to know personally. Haibon asked Unglert if he knew Dorfman had once dated his friend Nick Viall during her season of The Bachelorette . However, he admitted he had forgotten.
“I just thought she was cute. I think that Amanda Stanton posted a picture with her and I was like, ‘Oh, that girl’s cute,’” he recalled.
From what Unglert suggested, he and Dorfman never ended up going on an actual date. However, it would end up being for the best as he would later find love with Miller-Keyes, whom he has been with for nearly a year.
Unglert concluded by jokingly accusing Haibon of getting him in trouble with the former beauty queen for getting him to reveal this during the podcast.
As The Inquisitr previously reported, Dorfman is still searching for lasting love after not finding it during her season of The Bachelorette . Some members of Bachelor Nation requested that Dorfman be given a second shot and be named The Bachelorette again. Nevertheless, the position was ultimately given to Clare Crawley.
