‘The Bachelorette’ Star Logan Apologizes to Rachel in Post After Shock Exit

Logan Palmer has spoken out about his time as a contestant on The Bachelorette following his shock exit from season 19 of the ABC show.

Logan continued: “You both have shaped me into a better man and are so deserving of happiness. I know you will find it with the men you have remaining.
