Former Bachelor Zach Shallcross is setting the record straight about why he and his fiancée, Kaity Biggar, decided to get out of their wedding contract.
“We had been planning or talking about wanting to plan our wedding, figure out a date, figure out a venue, what do we like, what we don’t like,” Shallcross, 28, said on the Thursday, January 23, episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast.
Shallcross explained that he and Biggar met with one of their “good friends” who is a wedding planner to talk details.
“Credit to our wedding planner, she took it and started to run with it and started just booking us at all these places,” Shallcross said. “And we’re like, ‘Oh, wow, this is happening really quick.’”

Not saying we’re done with wedding planning. We’ve actually gone further in other areas, but we just couldn’t do that. I don’t know, like it’s so crazy nowadays.”

Bachelor Nation first met Shallcross during Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey’s season 19 of The Bachelorette, where he went home after making it to the fantasy suites with Recchia.
Shallcross was ultimately crowned the next lead of the franchise in September 2022, where he met Biggar. Shallcross popped the question to Biggar in The Bachelor season 27 finale. During the live After the Final Rose episode, the couple revealed they planned to move in together in Austin, Texas, and were hoping to walk down the aisle in 2025.
Now, Shallcross gushed that he would tie the knot with Biggar tomorrow if he could before the former Bachelor revealed that he and Biggar had plans to make things official soon.
“We’re planning to get eloped very soon, like very soon, and then we’ll figure out like celebration and all that, like the glitz and the glamour,” he shared. “It’s not a matter of when, it’s like the other stuff and like wanting to have all the family from all over come for it.”
