Spilling the tea.
Bachelor Nation fans got to know and love Leslie Fhima on the very first season of “The Golden Bachelor.”
Since then, she decided to give love another shot on the beaches of “Bachelor in Paradise” Season 10, where she formed a connection with Gary Levingston.
This week, the two were sadly chosen to leave “Paradise” after not being given a rose to hand out at the Rose Ceremony.
And now, Leslie is giving an update on where they currently stand with one another since leaving the beach.
On a new episode of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast, the Golden Bachelor Nation star shared that the two of them are still in contact with one another.
She said, “We talk all the time. We talk, we were at the premiere together watching the show in L.A. Gary is, I can honestly say, right now one of my best friends. I mean he is. I’ll call him if I have a problem, and he kind of talks me off the ledge a little bit, we’re always there for each other, we have each other’s backs.”
Leslie then revealed that she isn’t sure where their relationship currently stands no longer being on “Bachelor in Paradise.”
“I don’t know, because we haven’t spent time together,” she shared, “we live in two separate cities — I don’t know what it could be. All I know is that for me, a big thing with any relationship, a romantic one for sure, is I want to be friends first. Because I want to be with my best friend growing older.”
Leslie went on to admit that even though she’s unsure whether or not their relationship is romantic, they both care deeply for each other.
“That is a huge thing for me, and I don’t know what it’s going to be, but I know that we have special places in our hearts for each other and that’s all I can say right now,” she expressed.
