She also described the type of guy she expects Paul to fall for during the season. “I think someone that really recognizes her resilience and the woman that she is and doesn’t take advantage of it,” Leavitt told the outlet. “It’s gonna be a great guy.”

Affleck also hinted at Paul’s preference, noting to E!, “She definitely has a type. Whoever makes her happy is we’re all hoping for.”

During the DWTS premiere, Paul was spotted mingling with Hannah Brown, a former Bachelorette who also appeared as a contestant on The Bachelor. In a video posted by Entertainment Weekly, the duo can be seen hugging and chatting warmly on the side of the dance floor.

Paul revealed her starring spot on The Bachelorette in conversation with Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper on Wednesday, Sept. 10. During the podcast, Paul admitted she feels “nervous” about the opportunity, and she expressed some continued disbelief that she’ll actually be on the show.

“In my head, I’m like, ‘How is this happening?’ That’s my answer,” said the mom of three. She continued to says that her being on the show started as a joke three years ago when she made a TikTok, but it was something that she always saw as “unattainable.”

“I don’t know if that got their attention … It was mainly a joke to me … Then we had a meeting. I still didn’t believe it until I got the invitation, ‘Will you be our Bachelorette?'” she recounted. “Same reaction, shaking, pacing back and forth. There’s no way, no way.”
