Like I was laughing like, ‘S—t, this is cute, I get it now. I get why you guys like each other.’”She added that at the time she “panicked and felt really insecure,” explaining, “Because I didn’t know what was going on, I felt intimidated.

I didn’t like Rae at all.”April and Jake had been dating for two years when she issued the Ultimatum, telling the former Marine that she was done with him if he didn’t propose.

As a result, they joined the cast of the Netflix show, which follows six couples on the brink of getting engaged. While Jake’s new partner was Rae, April lived with Colby Kissinger — Madlyn Ballatori’s man — for three weeks.“I was head over heels for this person.
