During Thursday’s episode of the daytime talk show, Tayshia confirmed to Drew, 47, that she will not be hosting The Bachelorette after Jesse Palmer, 43, was announced as host.

She said: “I have to say, at least, that time really served me. It’s taken up a lot of ‘me time’ for the last four years.

“I’m ready to just do the next thing.”

The former Bachelorette leading lady added that she hasn’t fully closed the door on Bachelor Nation, sharing that she is just taking a “pause” from the franchise.

FIRED AS HOST

Alongside fellow franchise alum Kaitlyn Bristowe, 36, Tayshia served as the co-host for seasons 17 and 18 of The Bachelorette after longtime host Chris Harrison, 50, was fired.

While fans fell in love with Tayshia and Kaitlyn’s hosting skills, the show’s bosses chose to hire The Bachelor’s Jesse to host the upcoming season of The Bachelorette.

Shortly after the hosting switch up was revealed, fans rushed to Twitter to slam the show for replacing Kaitlyn and Tayshia.

The Sun exclusively reported that Tayshia and Kaitlyn are upset they were “tossed” aside in favor of Jesse.

A source close to production told The Sun: “I don’t think either of them were happy with how they were tossed to the side, and Tayshia seems over the whole show.”

The former contestants were fan favorites when they took over for Katie Thurston’s season of The Bachelorette. 

Many viewers described the dynamic between the duo, especially with Katie, 30, as “fun and refreshing.”

However, The Sun learned that the previous hosts are unlikely to return to the screen anytime soon.

The insider said: “Tayshia and Kaitlyn have no plans on returning to host in the near future. Kaitlyn still gets involved with the franchise but Tayshia seems completely done.”

In addition to co-hosting, Tayshia previously served as a host on the Bachelor podcast Clickbait.

However, she quit the show in January 2022 and was replaced by Tia Booth.

IT’S OVER

Tayshia was dropped as host just months after she split from fiance Zac, 38.

Following weeks of speculation that the couple called it quits, Tayshia confirmed she and Zac broke up during The Bachelorette’s Men Tell All special in December.

“All I have to say is that I’m heartbroken, but we tried really hard and I still love him very much, and I’m not sure what the future holds,” Tayshia said of the split.

At the time, a source close to the Bachelorette star claimed Tayshia was the one who “called things off” and it was ultimately “her decision.” 

The insider claimed: “Zac wasn’t on board [with the split] and tried and tried to talk her out of it, he really wanted to make things work but they’ve been struggling for a few months now. 

“She put her foot down after she reached her breaking point during a big fight they had last week. 

“They fought a lot and this one was bad like some of the others but it just happened to be the fight that broke the camel’s back. Their fights would start small but unravel and explode.” 

Tayshia and Zac met when he competed on her season of The Bachelorette, which resulted in the pair getting engaged.
