LOVE FEST! Kenny Braasch & Mari Pepin On Homebody Life & Age Difference Upside

It's Love Fest time! 🎉 Today we're joined by lovebirds Kenny Braasch (The Bachelorette, Season 16) and Mari Pepin (The Bachelor, Season 25), who you watched meet and get engaged on Bachelor In Paradise Season 7! They're now over a year into their relationship (just ask Andy about his famous bet!) and they live together in Chicago. Today they join Shandy to share their first impressions, how their 15 year age gap works for—not against—them, and of course, how they FIGHT! Finally, a Dear Shandy Newlyweds Game that will have you on the edge of your seat! Who knows who better?
