American chef Antonia Lofaso is on The Bachelorette. During the Tuesday night's episode of the franchise series, Ben Smith went on a date with Tayshia Smith introducing her sister Madalyn and a close friend, Antonia Lofaso.
Speaking about Lofase, Smith said:
"I told you before, my life is full of strong, decisive, bold, independent women, and the two people you're going to meet today are my two favorites — a really close family friend, her name is Antonia, she is with me more than anybody else. And you and her are eerily similar, it's incredible."
Later, Ben Smith told Lofaso that he possessed 'the strongest feelings I've ever had for a person for her.' He went on elaborating:
"She makes me feel a way that I've never felt in my entire life and I think the feeling is happiness. Like genuine, legitimate happiness," he said. "And every time I'm around her I'm more impressed with the way that she's able to make me into some sort of better person. I don’t have the words to describe it. It's incredible."
