Here is everything you need to know about Adrian Baena.
Tried to Make Romance Work with Becky Miles
Adrian did not manage to get picked by Becky Miles on The Bachelorette finale. He became a runner up for Becky as she chose Pete Mann. However, Becky quickly found her pick wrong as she revealed that he dumped her just three days on FaceTime after claiming he “was not feeling it”. However, the news was announced only a day after the finale aired.
Likewise, Becky re-connected with Adrian after being dumped, and soon the rumors of them dating quickly spread on the media. However, Adrian shared a video explaining that the duo did date for just three days and planned to get together but decided their relationship was best as friends. He shared:
“We decided, ‘What the heck, let’s meet up, let’s see what happens.’ I went in with an open mind,”
“It was really good, we had an amazing three days together. But to be honest, it was just sad.
Adrian continued:
“It was kind of like when you are with your ex-girlfriend, and you are looking at her, and you used to have something special, but it’s just not there anymore. My heart wasn’t in it anymore.
“With me and Becky now, we are super close, and I said, ‘Let’s just be friends.’
“Who knows what the future holds, but right now I don’t see her as anything else than a friend.”
