Bachelorette’s Tayshia Adams received a gift from a groom this Christmas.
On Sunday, the 30-year-old reality darling and her boyfriend, Zac Clark, 36, – who won his heart at the end of the hit show last week – came into their lives as New York residents while roaming the city.
Exchanging her lifestyle in Laguna Beach for the bustling city, Tayshia was seen doing some shopping after the holiday with her Jersey-born boyfriend when the two met Zara.

Rocking his best East Coast street style, Adams appeared in jeans and a pair of black high-heeled boots as he paraded through the city.
She curled up in a leather jacket with a fur trim and carried a Christian Dior saddle bag while they strolled with their purchases in hand.
Clark – who is a shameless shoe, as revealed by Adams earlier this week – wore jeans, a white T-shirt and a brown flannel cape.
He rocked Nike shoes with green accents and a green baseball cap to add a splash of color.

Proving his undying chivalry to his future wife, Clark was seen lending Tayshia his fluffy black jacket while the two strolled in masks.
After it was revealed at the end of last week that Clark stole his heart, the two were finally able to go public.
Adams, who won the coveted Maiden title in a mid-season transition (after Clare Crawley gave up on finding love with Dale Moss) appears to have found his fairy tale ending with the addiction specialist.
Gentleman: Clark was a total gentleman in giving Adams his cute jacket as they strolled around town
The couple celebrated Christmas on the west coast with their family as she gushed, ‘MY HEART IS FULL’, on account of adding a groom to the mix.
Jumping east to visit Zac’s family in New Jersey, the pair made the journey after the shopping trip while Tayshia posted some selfies on Instagram.
Since the actual hometown portion of the show was hindered due to pandemic-related safety precautions, Adams seemed excited to receive Jersey’s full treatment this time around.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter last week about their post-television relationship, the couple discussed some challenges related to quarantine after filming.

With the pair on opposite sides, they had to keep the spark alive through FaceTime, with a few visits here and there, because of the pandemic.
‘A long-distance relationship is difficult, even without COVID. So we’ve definitely done well in the past four months as a couple; we have to learn from each other. But, at the same time, we had the struggles of a normal relationship, with people who are at a distance or just to get to know each other. ‘
Revealing on an episode of the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast, Adams said, ‘I’m going to be bicastal. I will keep my place here [in California], but yes, let’s move in together! ‘
Family life: very close to her family, Adams was overjoyed to celebrate Christmas in Laguna Beach, surrounded by her fiance and closest relatives
Touching her and Zac’s love during the season, she said:
‘There were several moments when I found myself imagining a life with him. I think it really solidified when my family was involved, just because I’m so close to my family. ‘
Clark and Adams established an immediate connection in some episodes of the franchise and related on a deeper level, since both had been previously married.
After Zac revealed his worrying story about the addiction and broke the walls, he had it against Tayshia and he fell in love with each other.
Her strong bond culminated with Adams sending the second suitor home before the proposal, since she knew it was only Zac from whom she wanted to accept the proposal.
