Jillian Harris' love life

Canada's bachelorette launches design company, but focused on love life

TORONTO — The Canadian star of "The Bachelorette" says she's started her own interior design company and would be open to hosting a design show if the opportunity arises.

But Jillian Harris says career plans are taking a backseat to her love life these days, refusing to say whether she's come out of the sensational dating show with an engagement or not.

So far, viewers only know that Harris whittled down a pool of 30 suitors to just two men ahead of Monday's finale. They include the sweet-natured Ed from Chicago and the charming Kiptyn from Encinitas, Calif.

In a conference call with reporters Wednesday, Harris refused to say who she chooses nor would she comment on rampant online talk that third-place Reid makes a surprise appearance in a last-ditch effort to win her over.

"It is an exciting episode and it was a crazy day," was all Harris would say by phone from a Los Angeles hotel. "It's all very dramatic."

Suffice it to say that Harris, who hails from Peace River, Alta., insists she's very happy and has no regrets about the controversial choices she made along the way.

That includes her decision to keep country singer Wes in the running even after she was told he boasted behind-the-scenes about having a girlfriend and said he was on the show to promote his music.

Fans have been quick to vilify the dark-haired crooner, who made it to the Top Four and was kicked off after a stilted dinner date with Harris in Spain.

Had she known more at the time, Harris admits she may have kicked Wes off the show earlier, but said she still thinks highly enough of him to want to know how he's weathered a firestorm of viewer vitriol.

"I'd love to check in with Wes and just see how he's doing with all of this chaos," says Harris. "He's still somebody that I do respect as an individual, whether or not people think he deserves that, I do."

"The Canadian star of "The Bachelorette" says she's started her own interior design company and would be open to hosting a design show if the opportunity arises." -- well, she's gotten what she wanted from this show, a couple free trips, exposure and her 5 minutes of fame.
