The winner of the 13th season of the show "The Bachelor," volunteer and businesswoman Inna Belen, who was chosen by project hero Alexander "Teren" Budko in the finale, shared insights about the development of their relationship.
In an interview, she opened up about life after the show concluded and what it was like to participate in a program with such a unique format.
Inna noted that during filming, she faced challenges related to the reality format. One of the toughest decisions for her was to control her emotions and refrain from expressing her opinions to Alexander about his relationships with the other contestants.
"The hardest part was not to spill out everything I thought about his dates with other girls. Because I would have ruined everything. The format, where contestants go on dates and then discuss how they went, is a real test. You sit there thinking: He kissed one this morning, and by evening he’s giving a massage to another. In real life, I would have just said: Goodbye," Inna candidly admitted.
She added that her ability to hold back was aided by the understanding that she consciously accepted the rules of the project and agreed to participate in such a format.
After the show ended, the couple continues to build their relationship, but they are not living together yet. Inna emphasized that it is important for her to share a roof with her loved one, but she respects Alexander's lifestyle, which often keeps him away from home from early morning until late evening.
