Ivan Hall spoke at length on Thursday about the religious differences he had with Bachelorette Tayshia Adams who contributed to the breakup.
Appearing on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s “Off the Vine” podcast, Hall – who was eliminated at the end of “Bachelorette” on Tuesday – addressed the pair’s divergent views on faith after saying Adams, 30, “just wants to date a Christian ”And he is not“ religious. “
“In that short time, you have to have deep conversations about many different things, and I was always trying to figure out when I could talk about certain things with Tayshia,” said Hall.
“At Fantasy Suites, I knew it would be our only opportunity to have hours and hours of uninterrupted time,” he continued.
Hall, a 28-year-old aeronautical engineer, said he identifies himself as an agnostic, which he noted that some people confuse with the views of an atheist.
“The atheist is taking a strict stance that God does not exist and that is not what I believe in,” said Hall. “… Agnostic is strictly saying that I don’t know, basically. And this is how I feel. “
He said religion became a topic of discussion between him and Adams as they explored the idea of raising a family.
“Whatever your religion, honestly the majority of the world is not your religion, so everything goes a little crazy, and then when we get into the details of things, maybe when she starts asking me about my beliefs, is there a paradise or is there hell, that kind of thing, I’m going to be like, ‘Yes, my answer is going to be different than yours because I’m going to tell our kids, I don’t know what’s up,’ “he said.
On Tuesday, former Bachelor student Caila Quinn asked Hall about her religious views after Adams eliminated him in the episode. Hall explained that it is open and dated other religions.
“In my past, I dated women who are Christians, I dated Muslim women, whatever, I am completely open to that,” Hall said on Thursday. “My main focus is on the morals and values you have, and that’s what I try to have. I just try to have good morals and values, this is what is most important to me ”.
Before his elimination, Adams and Hall discussed how their divergent views represented an obstacle in their relationship.
Adams ended up engaged to Zac Clark, a 36-year-old New Jersey addiction specialist. He asked the question with a 3.25 carat engagement ring from Neil Lane.
