The Bachelor’s Juelia Kinney Talks Being Sent Home By Chris Soules: “We Just Didn't Have That Chemistry”

During a pool party date, the 30-year-old opened up about her late husband’s struggle with mental illness and later his suicide. “You know, it wasn't something that I planned to do. I obviously thought that it might come out because I do have a daughter. Chris had shared some things with me and made me feel really comfortable. And he asked me some questions and I felt that in order to move forward in our relationship that I needed to be honest with him and share with him what I've been through. And so I did, it's not something that I usually talk about, but you know when you're trying to get to know somebody, you kind of have to share things that you wouldn't normally share.”

The single mother and Chris chatted during group dates, but she never received a coveted one-on-one date. Although they spent little time together, she agreed with his decision to send her home. “Chris is somebody that I could see myself having a relationship with. But as far as connection, I don't really feel a romantic connection, and I kind of agreed with Chris when he sent me home because I think that we both were fond of each other, but we just didn't have that chemistry.”

No one knows all of the women in the house better than Juelia, which is why she knows how hard it is going to be for Chris to pick someone! “You know, I told him when I left that I didn't know how he was going to make this decision because there are honestly so many amazing girls this year. So I really don't know like you know how he is going to choose.”

Britt has been a frontrunner from the get-go after receiving the first impression rose. But after confessing that she didn’t feel comfortable with him rewarding a rose to Kaitlyn after she took her bathing suit off during a group date to a lake, Chris became frustrated and gave Britt the last rose of the evening after having an intense chat with the ladies about his true intentions. Regardless of the drama, the mother of Ireland thinks Britt would be a perfect match for The Bachelor. “I think that Britt is a really, really amazing girl. She's a very sweet girl with a very strong face. I think that Chris would be lucky to have her.”

As for Juelia, she is ready to continue dating! “I am open to dating, I haven't found anyone that I really want to spend a lot of my time with... I'm definitely looking for the right person for my life.”

And that even means being open to appearing on The Bachelor spinoff, Bachelor in Paradise! “Yes, I definitely would consider doing something else. Just because the people that I've met are people that I'm going to know for the rest of my life, and it was just a really, really positive experience.
