usmagazine.com:

A giant rumor. Zach Shallcross and Jess Girod both poked fun at speculation that he had reunited with the season 27 contestant instead of being happily engaged to Kaity Biggar.Zach, 26, and Kaity, 28, who got engaged during the Monday, March 27, finale of the ABC show, stopped by the “Chicks In the Office” podcast on their Tuesday, March 28, press tour and watched an apology video from cohost Ria Ciuffo — who initially shared the theory on Friday, March 24.“I have no idea if this is true. … It’s just something I’ve heard that apparently, no one else has heard,” Ria said via Instagram on Friday. “But apparently after Zach got engaged to one of the girls, who I believe to be Kaity, that engagement ended, and he is now with Jess.

Jess is the one who loves Taylor Swift, she loves body glitter. She even posted a clip recently of them at the Women Tell All together.

I don’t know how true this is. Do what you will with the information, OK? … It will be freaking crazy if it happens.”On Tuesday, the couple told cohost Fran Mariano that they were thankful for the apology.“It was out of [the blue],” Zach said. “I appreciate that she actually made a video and apologized because there’s so many crazy things that go on and people have all these conspiracies and this and that, but she owned up to it.”Jess, 23, subsequently made a TikTok about the rumor set to the sound: “First of all, I’m glad you said that, I’m not 5’2.

I’m 5’3.”She wrote alongside the video: “I was rumored to be with WHO. First of all, I didn’t even get a date with the man. NEXT.”Zach sent Jess packing during the February 27 episode of the ABC series.
