Sharon Thinkin Out Loud Monday, February 09, 2004: Bachelor Bob Finds LoveThe 4th "bachelor" Bob Guiney didn’t find true love on the show, but has reportedly found love with soap star, Rebecca Budig. Buzzle Staff Editor, 1/28/2004 6:48:00 PM (From Buzzle.com) Budig stars as "Greenlee" on the soap All My Children, and the two reportedly met when Budig hosted "Bachelor XYZ," a "Bachelor" wrap-up show on ABC Family. They have been spotted on numerous occasions together looking very cozy and both have admitted to the relationship. Budig says, "I’m seeing him, and I couldn’t be happier." When the divorced Bob appeared on The Bachelorette vying for Trista Rehn’s affections, he was cute, charming, and funny. That charm didn’t carry over to his run on The Bachelor, where he came across as shallow and annoying. He ended up giving a promise ring to Estella Gardinier and breaking her heart a few short weeks later. Guiney, 32, reportedly dumped Gardinier over the phone just days after Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter’s wedding, where he reportedly flirted with every woman at the wedding except Gardinier. Ouch! Gardinier, 28, has been very vocal about her bitterness, stating, "Thanks to him, I probably won’t date for the rest of my life. I think I’m becoming a nun!" Guiney blames himself for the break-up, in part for spending too much time promoting his book and solo CD 3Sides. He is set to begin touring in late February, so his schedule remains pretty hectic. No doubt Gardinier is left wondering why he couldn’t seem to fit her into his busy schedule, yet he has found time to romance Budig. Sharon // 4:21 PM ______________________
