The Bachelor Season 7 runner-up Krisily Kennedy honored her friend Gia Allemand, who committed suicide seven years ago today, with a touching Instagram post. Although they weren't on the same season of the ABC reality show, they became friends after appearing together on the franchise's spinoff, Bachelor Pad, in 2010.
On Friday morning, Krisily shared her thoughts about her late friend, noting that she "cherished their time together" and wanted to call her to share some good news about her love life.
It was a big day for Krisily, who was a co-host on NESN's Boston Red Sox Pre & Post Game series before she went looking for love on television. One day prior to memorializing her friend, she got engaged to her boyfriend, Josh, and shared a photo with her Instagram followers.
For fans that watched them on the summer spin off show ten years ago, it was evident that they would have a friendship off-camera. Krisily, who grew up in Rhode Island, wrote in her post that she was "like a sister" to her and reflected on her caring nature.
Her death came as a shock to Bachelor Nation. Many fans considered her one of the most popular contestants in the franchise — she always had a smile on her face at the network's press events. Although they didn't live close by, Krisily noted that they stayed in touch.
