\u201cI feel like this is a very loaded question,\u201d Randolph said when asked about her reaction to her ex\u2019s coming out. \u201cI\u2019m very happy<\/a> that he is, you know, at peace with himself and not carrying that burden anymore, of course.\u201d But her feelings toward the matter are complicated. \u201cIt was a very just overall hard time for me, so I feel like there was just one thing after another and I was just extremely overwhelmed with everything going on,\u201d Randolph added.<\/p>\n It totally makes sense that she was overwhelmed if you know the background here. ICYMI, Randolph and Underwood met on Season 23 of The Bachelor <\/em>in 2018, and though they didn\u2019t get engaged, they dated for 18 months <\/strong>post-filming. After their May 2020 split, things got pretty scary. Per Page Six<\/em>, Randolph filed a restraining order<\/a> against Underwood the following September, claiming he was \u201cstalking her, attaching a tracking device to her vehicle<\/a>, and sending her disturbing text messages.\u201d<\/p>\n Almost a year later, in April 2021, the former Bachelor publicly apologized to Randolph when he came out on Good Morning America<\/em>. Underwood admitted that he \u201cmessed up\u201d and \u201cmade a lot of bad choices<\/a>.\u201d The Coming Out Colton<\/em> star added that he wished he\u2019d been \u201ccourageous enough to fix [him]self before breaking anyone else.\u201d <\/p>\n At least now it seems like Randolph is happily in love with musician Brighton Reinhardt, and according to her, he helped support <\/strong>her after everything. \u201cMe and Brighton had been friends for seven years,\u201d she told the Almost Famous <\/em>hosts. \u201cThat last summer, he was very very supportive just through everything. He\u2019s never been weird. If anything he\u2019s just very defensive or protective and makes me talk [about it] with him more than I would like to. Not in a bad way, in a good way.\u201d Aww. <\/p>\n Soo… is Reinhardt ~the one~? \u201cI feel like that\u2019s a big question to ask, but I hope so. I think so,\u201d Randolph answered. Wishing Randolph and Reinhardt all the best.<\/p>\n![\"Colton](\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/getty\/2022\/10\/19\/d4180744-67fc-4b28-bcaf-ba29621e607c-getty-1183189027.jpg?w=414&h=269&fit=crop&crop=faces&auto=format%2Ccompress\")
