But it didnt stop there.
Jenn expressed her desire to raise her kids Buddhist as well, which Jeremy wholeheartedly embraced.
As a result, Jeremy received a rose, thereby meaning Jenn would visit his familyduring hometowns.
Jenn and Jeremy arrive in Seattle.
Unfortunately, thats where things frayedbut it had nothing to do with how to raise kids.
Jenn and Jeremy arrive in Seattle.
Jeremy Simon:Well, its not just me, its her too.
Jeremy and Jenn on a date.
you should probably be just as open to have that conversation.
So I appreciate her as well for being open even talking about it.
Had you planned on opening up about kids and religion?
Ricky Middlesworth/Disney
I mean I never went into any conversation with a plan of what to say.
If it went fun, it went fun.
If it went a little deeper, it went a little deeper.
And I think it just came up as I was probably thinking about hometowns and my mom.
The end of the journey is engagement, and after engagement is marriage and kids.
And if Im going to take that leap of faith, thats important to me.
And her response was great.
It was a great, beautiful, open conversation.
It was still fun, too…just the idea of breeding Jewish Buddhist kids.
Jeremy and Jenn on a date.
What do you love about Judaism that’s important for you to carry on?
I could get into specifics about Judaism, but to me its more cultural.
I think about the holidays and my family being so close together.
So I couldnt imagine a family like my family in the future not having that kind of closeness.
And then when Jenn started speaking Yiddish words, I was like, Oh, wow!
I was like, Whered you get this from?
So lets talk about your hometown date.
Do you wish it had gone differently, if anything?
No, I never wish that things had gone differently.
I dont blame my mom for asking the tough questions.
She could be skeptical.
I wanted her to trust me also.
But that doesnt mean my mom is not going to ask the question she wants to ask.
And by the way, I dont think my mom ruined anything for me.
I think it made Jenn really think about stuff.
But it is what it is.
How did this experience change you, especially with relationships going forward?
I dont think it really changed me.
I think you gotta be friends first before obviously thinking about engagement.
I dont want to force drama.
I also dont want to force fun.
I just want to let things happen.
Whats next for you?
Would you want to go onBachelor in Paradise?
I would definitely consider it, but…its still [almost a year away].
I take it day by day.
In the meantime, whats your daily life like?
And what has it been like now that people are recognizing you from this show?
I was in San Diego and everyone recognized me.
But in New York, where I spend most of my time, no one gives a shit.
Everyones so preoccupied with their own lives.
They walk fast by you.
I mean, Im recognized, but its way more calm.
And after last Mondays episode, have you gotten any feedback from fans?
I mean, the amount of DMs from Jewish mothers being like, You should date my daughter.
Would you take any of them up on it?
I even said this on the show, but historically, Ive dated Christian girls.
Its just sort of by chance.
But if theres a good Jew out there, Im down for that.
It makes it easier.
The Bacheloretteairs twice next week, Monday, August 26, and Tuesday, August 27.
