“I’m here to tell you that my heart belongs to somebody else,” she told the Reno, Nevada, resident. “And I care about you so, so, so, so much and I know we talked about being seen, and I want you to know that I saw you at every rose ceremony, I saw you at every date. I care so much about you. My heart belongs to somebody else now.”
And when Guy asked if there were any way she would change her mind, her answer was a gentle, “I love you, but I love you in a different way.”
During the After the Final Rose special, Joan and Guy came face to face once again for the first time since their breakup in Bora Bora, allowing the pair to get closure once and for all.
It was then that she told Guy that her feelings for him had been true, but that the pair had needed more time.
“It was really, really hard at the end to say goodbye to you because in any other situation, I would have been with you because we would have had more time,” she explained. “It was absolutely nothing you did. I have missed you. It’s been really hard to be away from you.”
