Could Bachelor in Paradise’s Derek Peth Officiate Demi Burnett and Kristian Haggerty’s Wedding?
Demi: I adore him and I want him to find love no matter how that happens for him. I’m friends with Derek. I’m friends with Peter. I’m friends with Mike. I’m friends with all these guys. So whoever was going to be picked as the next Bachelor, I have no choice but to stan, because I’m friends with all of them.
Will you stay in touch with Derek after all this?
Demi: Of course! We talk to Derek all of the time! He’s great. He’s such a great guy.
Derek could officiate your wedding!
Demi: Derek, yes! How fucking ironic would that be?
He could do it with your dog, Kismet!
Kristian: Yes, Kismet!
So you guys aren’t living together at the moment, but you are living close to each other. What are you most excited about after this finale airs? What do you hope to do publicly since you’re such role models?
Demi: I am assuming I can speak for both of us, but we don’t know, we don’t. We don’t know what we’re doing. We’re taking it day by day, and we are finally going to be able to have a normal relationship where we can just go places, and of course we want to be involved in anything that would be supporting the community and really just helping anybody out. So we’re just taking it day by day and we’re going to figure it out along the way.
How would you like to see the franchise evolve after this? What can it do to continue to build on the major win I felt it achieved this season?
Demi: Again, I don’t know. I just…we just are two people who loved each other and they embraced that, so I think they’ll embrace anybody who comes on the show and it’ll just be more normalized, is my hope.
Do you think we’ll ever get a Bachelorette with all female contestants? Is that something you’d like to see?
Demi: I mean, of course. You know, it’s not something that I have experience…I don’t have the credentials to tell someone how to plan their TV program. I don’t know what I’m talking about, but I am open to seeing anything, and I think the rest of the world is at this point, is open to seeing anything too. So anything is possible, there’s no rules. Love is love. Retweet!
