Bachelorette alum Ali Fedotowsky reveals her one ‘horrible’ regret from her season
BACHELORETTE alum Ali Fedotowsky revealed her one 'horrible' regret from her season on the show.
Ali got real with her fans during an Instagram Q&A earlier this week admitting that she wasn't pleased with her hairstyle throughout her season six run.
When a fan asked her if there was anything she wished she'd done differently while on the dating show, the reality star replied:
“Only thing I regret is this hairdo! Ha! But seriously my style was horrible when I was on the show! I do wish I enjoyed it more in the moment but I would never regret it! It’s the reason my life turned out the way it has today!”
The entertainment journalist originally appeared on season 14 of The Bachelor in 2010, competing for Jake Pavelka's heart, before becoming the lead on the The Bachelorette.
She ultimately found love with contestant Roberto Martinez before the couple went their separate ways one year later.
The 35-year-old went on to marry Kevin Manno, who she shares two children - daughter Molly, four, and son Riley, two.
Heartbreaking loss
Last year, Ali revealed that she had recently suffered a miscarriage during her pregnancy with her and her husband’s third child.
While sitting at her OBGYN office for a follow-up appointment, Ali decided to share the heartbreaking news of her loss to her almost 900K followers, in the hopes that anyone else going through it would feel less alone.
Along with a photo of pink flowers and a graphic about pregnancy issues, the TV personality wrote: “I am 1 in 4. I don’t really know what to say here. I’m sitting in my car, using talk to text & I’m just gonna speak from my heart.
“I had a miscarriage recently. I’m not sharing this bc I feel sorry for myself or I want others to tell me they feel sorry for me.
“I don’t feel sorry for myself. I feel sad for what could’ve been. Sad for the baby that was growing inside me. Sad because it’s sad.”
The TV star explained how seeing social media change into a place where people could share both good and bad news helped encourage her to share her story.
The full tale of “how it all happened” is too long and too heartbreaking for Ali to tell just yet, though, and she’s not sure if she’ll ever feel ready to open up about everything.
Still, she did want to share some of what occurred in order to help others going through similar experiences.
The mom-of-two shared: “It happened early one morning when I had intense cramping. I passed the gestational sac - which was the size of a plum - in my bedroom.
“I was in complete shock when it happened. I sat and stared at it for hours - not able to fully comprehend what happened.
“And the utter exhaustion that took over my body in the few days after that was almost debilitating.”
She told others dealing with the same loss: “I see you & feel you.
“We all go through different emotions & process the loss differently.

“I know that my loss is not the same as someone who’s had a stillbirth or lost a baby at 20 weeks.
“Or someone who has been trying to conceive for years.”

She said what she found “so shocking” is how the miscarriage hit her “so much harder” than she ever “could have imagined.”
