‘Millionaire’ First Look: J.P. and Ashley Reveal Secret ‘Bachelorette’ Date Gone Awry

ABC’s reality TV dating franchises The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are known for touting the most dramatic episodes ever — but sometimes the biggest drama happens off camera, according to former Bachelorette contestant J.P. Rosenbaum. In this exclusive clip from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire‘s “Bachelor Fan Favorites Week,” Rosenbaum and his wife, former Bachelorette Ashley Hebert, told host Chris Harrison about the time Rosenbaum committed grand theft auto — sort of — to have a secret date with Ashley during his hometown date on The Bachelorette.

“I stole a rental car from my handler… at 3 in the morning to drive to the hotel where I knew she was staying at,” reveals Rosenbaum, whose rendezvous with Hebert was foiled by the presence of another producer who was outside the hotel taking a cigarette break. “Thirty minutes I stood there… and never got to see her.” Meanwhile, Hebert — who had arranged the clandestine meeting with her future husband earlier in the day — says she was left thinking, “He stood me up!”

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire‘s “Bachelor Fan Favorites Week” airs Feb. 6-10 in syndication. Check local listings.
