Kaity Biggar Says Her and Gabi Elnicki Will Remain Friends,
Kaity Biggar recently went onto the "Here for the Right Reasons" podcast, where she was asked if she and fellow contestant Gabi Elnicki would remain friends, to which she quickly replied, "Oh yeah!"
"We've already had trips together! We've been to Florida. A lot of the girls came to Austin for the premiere," she continued to explain.
She and Elnicki, along with Ariel Frenkel, who came in third on this season, and two other "The Bachelor" 27 contestants -- Jess Girod and Mercedes Northup -- are all planning to visit Miami, Florida together for a girl's trip at the end of April.
"We're all very tight," she said on the podcast. "I have excellent relationships with quite a few of the girls, but I would say my closest that I could foresee being at the wedding would be Ariel, for sure."
"She's been a huge supporter and always there for me throughout this," she continued. "Gabi, she and I are excellent friends. And Jess and Mercedes, for sure. Those are my girls."
Gabi Elnicki Is A Girl's Girl
During the "Bachelor" finale, Gabi Elnicki seemed to know Zach Shallcross would choose Kaity Biggar as when she stepped out of the limo into a pile of mud, she turned to the camera crew and the driver of the limo and said, "When it matters, when Kaity arrives, don't do that to her."
After the finale aired, Elnicki spoke out on why she decided to stay on the show until the end despite knowing it was Kaity Biggar all along -- saying she did it for Biggar.
"I didn't want [Kaity] to feel any kind of doubt when [Zach] proposed to her, and she watched it all back," Elnicki said.
"In that rose ceremony when he was only speaking to Kaity, and he wasn't making eye contact with me, it was an isolating feeling," she explained. "And at that moment, I knew it was not me because anyone who loved me and wanted it to be me wouldn't speak of something that was a special moment in that way."
Zach Shallcross On His Engagement With Kaity Biggar
After the finale aired, Shallcross spoke out on his love for Biggar and how she was always a frontrunner in his eyes.
"She, from the beginning, was someone that just exuded everything I was looking for — that kindness, that loving, funny, sweet, independent, beautiful person," Shallcross told PEOPLE. "I always felt so pulled and attracted to her, and she was someone that throughout the entire process, it was becoming so easy in my mind that this person is my future and I want to do life with her. I absolutely fell in love with her and was like, 'I can't lose her. She's mine.'"
