Tayshia Adamswill not be co-hosting the liveAfter the Final Rosespecial followingThe Bachelorettefinale.
On Tuesday, hours before the airing of the show, Adams shared the news on her Instagram Story. The formerBachelorettelead, 31, has been serving as co-host of Michelle Young’s season along with Kaitlyn Bristowe.
“I do look a little bit too casual to be walking out there tonight but it’s just because it’s a little crazy here in New York and I was recently exposed [to COVID-19],” Adams said in one of her Instagram Story clips.
“Just as an abundance of caution, for Michelle to have her night, as well as Kaitlyn and all the crew to produce this live finale tonight, I will not be there in person. But that does not mean I will not be turning in, popping my popcorn and enjoying it all,” she continued.
