Bachelorette alum Tayshia Adams denies she’s split from Zac Clark after being seen without engagement ring
She’s set to co-host the new season of The Bachelorette with fellow alum Kaitlyn Bristowe after longtime host Chris Harrison was sidelined in a racism row.
And on Monday, Tayshia Adams reassured her fans that she is still engaged to her season 16 beau Zac Clark despite being seen without her ring on social media posts lately.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Adams, 30, explained that sometimes it appears she’s without the ring on her left hand when her image is reversed in mirror selfies and that she’s also now dropped it off in LA to be re-sized.

‘There’s always weird rumors circulating around that I’m not wearing my ring and that Zac and I are broken up. I don’t know what is happening, but you guys, I was holding my phone with my left hand,’ she said.
‘But ironically enough as I was showing my hand maybe a week and a half ago, my ring was literally swinging around my finger, and a lot of you messaged me like, ‘Don’t lose your ring!’,’ she went on.
‘Well, I was in L.A. for a hot minute and was able to finally drop off my ring and get it sized.’

She then summed up with: ‘So yes, ironically, it was my right hand in my Story, but I also just got my ring sent in to be cleaned and sized, finally — it’s been, like, six months since I’ve had it.’
Adams concluded: ‘Everything is good on this forefront. Thank you so much for being concerned, but we’re good. We’re chillin’.’
Adams from Orange County, California, and Clark, 37, from New Jersey got engaged last summer.

The two are based on the East Coast, although Adams still travels back and forth to her native Southern California where she maintains a residence.
She has revealed she knew Clark was ‘the one’ when he met her family during filming of the ABC dating contest.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: ‘There were multiple moments where I saw myself envisioning a life with him. I guess it really solidified when my family was involved, just because I’m really close with my family. You don’t just marry an individual, you also marry their family.’
Adams explained: ‘It was really important for me to see him with my brothers and see how he interacted with my parents. My dad is kind of protective over me, if you haven’t noticed! So, to get his approval is everything.’
