Courtney Robertson has one little problem when it comes to dating: she doesn’t want to meet a fan of The Bachelor. 

“I’ve had a lot of guys come up to me and talk to me about things they know I like,” The Bachelor’s season 16 winner, who famously ended her engagement with Ben Flajnik in Oct. 2012, said in an exclusive sit-down with Celebuzz. “And it’s like, did they hear this about me from the show?”

And more importantly, are they trying to get on the 29-year-old’s good side with info obtained from The Bachelor?

“This one guy was talking about all the same kind of food I like – it was so weird,” Robertson said.

Now, after months in the dating pool, Robertson says she’s officially taking a “time out” to focus on her career. And as for that romance with Bachelor alum Arie Luyendyk? Robertson says there is none.

“He asked me out and we had a good time — he’s also from Arizona,” she said of Luyendyk, whom she was caught kissing shortly after her breakup with Flajnik. “But I realized it was too soon. We’re friends, but it just wasn’t for me.

“It was just too much Bachelor! I just want a nice normal guy like a firefighter.”

Courtney Robertson is writing a tell-all memoir which she’s promised will contain explicit details about her romantic relationships with ex-lovers.

In her first in-depth interview since splitting from The Bachelor Ben Flajnik on Oct. 5, 29-year-old Robertson revealed to Celebuzz that she has begun to meet potential publishers.

“I’m writing a book about my experience… it would be more about clearing the air,” Robertson said. ”Through everything that happened, they tried to dig up my past … I had no voice.”

The model added: ”I think it can be pretty steamy — I’m not gonna lie. It would be like 100 Shades of Grey!

“I’m a hopeless romantic. That’s been the main theme in my life… I’ve had great relationships. Work is work, but I am happiest when I’m in a healthy, happy relationship.”

Read on for our exclusive Q&A with Robertson, including why she believes she was edited to be a “villain.”

Celebuzz: How does it feel to be off The Bachelor and back to normal life?

Courtney Robertson: The farther away I get from the show it feels really good, actually. Last year was so much for me, it was a lot to handle. But it feels good. I was planning on moving to San Francisco so I was there a lot  and going back and forth. So it’s been really nice to be living and staying in Los Angeles where I’ve lived for 10 years so it feels good to settle back into my normal life in L.A. and not traveling so much.

CB: Tell us why was last year was especially difficult for you?

CR: It was a lot to handle. I left from filming The Bachelor and I was engaged and happy and in love. Never in a million years did I think I gave them the material to edit me as the villain. I was shocked that happened. That was really hard.  To be honest, I didn’t even watch the show. I couldn’t. There were things that were way taken out of context. And I wasn’t in a position to stand up for myself.  I can’t sit there and pick apart each show and say, “Well, I was actually talking about this,” or “This girl said this to me.” I had to accept it. And on top of that I was going through heartache and Ben and I hit that rough patch. I would come outside and there would be five paparazzi and no one prepared me for that. I’ve never experienced that before.

I heard people say, “She wants to be famous” and I think the thing that people who don’t know me is that I’ve lived in L.A. for 10 years and I’ve never pursued being an actress and I never really wanted that.

I actually had a pro and con list [before going on the show]. They talked me into it and said ‘go and meet him and if you don’t like him you can leave that night.’ So no harm, no foul. So I’ll try it. Number one on my con list was I didn’t want to be known as that girl from The Bachelor and I don’t want people coming up to me. I like my privacy. Now I’ve learned to accept it and actually embrace it. So many wonderful people come up to me and if I can make their day brighter, I want to do that. But that was a struggle [at first].

CB: After being on the show what’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned?

CR: I think I’ve learned a lot about myself and how much I can endure. But I guess the biggest lesson would be sometimes love is not enough. You can try so hard to make something work and at the end of the day love is not enough.

CB: Was that the case with you and Ben?

CR: For us, it was a lot of pressure from the show and the negativity of it and I felt like we overcame that as much as we could. But I just think there were so many outside factors and so much played into it. I put my all into that relationship. I never fought harder for someone. You know, it was a big disappointment for me — that loss.

CB: Do you have any regrets?

CR: I don’t because I was happy. I thought I had found the person I was going to spend the rest of my life with and start a family with. So we had it going on for a moment in time.  But I don’t regret it. I think I made the best decision at that point in time.

CB: You’re a successful model. Now after experiencing reality TV, do you have any new career goals?

CR: It was a transition. I’ve got regular catalog clients and print clients. It’s something I’ve done for 10 years and I’ve built great relationships. I would love to help people with diet and exercise. And I thought about writing a book.

Mainly right now I’m writing a book about my experience. So I’m meeting with publishers to get that off the ground, so that’s been really good for me.

CB: Will the book be an autobiography chronicling your relationship with Ben?

CR: I think it would be more about clearing the air. Through everything that happened they tried to dig up my past. Like I said, I had no voice. So [it would be] just more a out my life experience and moving to L.A. at 19 and the course of my relationships and dating and what led me to go on the show.

CB: It sounds like a good read.

CR: I hope so! I think it can be pretty steamy — I’m not gonna lie. It would be like 100 Shades of Grey. No. (laughs) Just about love. I’m a hopeless romantic. That’s been the main theme in my life. I’ve had great relationships. Work is work, but I am happiest when I’m in a healthy, happy relationship.

CB: So whoever says they love being single is lying.

CR: I wish I can say that! But I hate it. I really don’t like being single. I’m enjoying it so far. It’s like starting all over.

CB: Have you talked to Ben since the split?

CR: I haven’t spoken to Ben since we broke up over the phone. We haven’t spoken. We texted a little bit shortly after. But no, we haven’t talked.

CB: Another Bachelorette couple — Emily Maynard and Jef Holm — have also announced they split up. Why don’t TV relationships work?

CR: I met Emily a few times and she’s a sweetheart. And I met Jef too — they’re both really neat people. You know, I think The Bachelor has such a huge following, but honestly having been through it — and I don’t know they’re situation — but just the media — it’s a lot. Relationships are a lot of work and especially when you’re starting out and getting to know someone that should be the fun part, but it’s added pressure when there’s a media storm going on around you.

CB: On another note, Bachelorette shley Hebert and her fiancée J.P. Rosenbaum have stood the test of TV time. They’re getting married on television in December. Will you go to the wedding?

CR: Ben and I hung out with Ashley and J.P. in New York. They are a great couple and I’m so happy for them. I don’t know if I’ll be attending, but I’m happy for hem. I think they’re going to go the distance.

CB: Would you ever consider being the next Bachelorette?

CR: I haven’t even thought about that. That’s terrifying! I don’t think it would ever happen. I think they did a pretty good job of painting me in a pretty bad light. I wish I could meet people who were hating on me and they could see the real me.

Bachelor winner Courtney Robertson and Bachelorette contestant Arie Luyendyk Jr. may have engaged in some very public PDA over the weekend during, but a source close to the race car driver tells Celebuzz it was all for show.

“It’s a PR stunt,” said the insider. “Arie told his mom it was all set up.”

What else did the source reveal?

“They are not dating,” insisted the insider. “Everything about her is not Arie’s type. He’s been acting uncharacteristically lately, so he probably would date her — but it doesn’t mean he likes her or there’s a future. They’d do anything to get in the press.

“The family is wondering what the hell is he doing that for. It’s not the Arie they know. He’s trying to extend his 15 minutes of fame, just like Courtney.”

Indeed, 31-year-old Luyendyk’s family members aren’t fans of Robertson.

“His mom can’t stand Courtney,” says the source. “She hates her. She doesn’t know what he’s doing hanging out with her.”

The photos of Robertson and Luyendyk’s cozy night out, obtained by TMZ and first reported by Wetpaint.com, show the two arm in arm and then sharing a passionate kiss. Following the candlelit dinner date, Robertson, 29, tweeted “Beautiful night… #RedWineImFine” with a photo of two glasses of wine. Luyendyk folowed the next night a tweet that read, “Little surprised.”

The PDA session comes soon after Robertson and her fiancé, Bachelor star Ben Flajnik, announced their split — and its  timing has certainly drawn ire.

“That’s just shallow Courtney,” said the source. “It’s a slap in the face to Ben. And Arie and Ben have hung out. This is just rude.”

Indeed, just a month ago, Flajnik and Luyendyk spent time together, with Flajnik tweeting: “A big thank you to @ariejr for an awesome ride in his two seater Indy car. The most bad ass thing ever,” even calling him a “rad dude.”

Flajnik, 30, then continued the compliments: “His [sic] is a solid dude who has his head on straight. I can see why everyone liked him on the show.”

But just how “solid” is Luyendyk?

In late August, he tweeted a press release saying he wouldn’t be the next Bachelor – a role that was recently given to Sean Lowe. The problem? Our source says Luyendyk wasn’t even in the running.

Says the insider: “The show never offered him The Bachelor.”

It looks like diamonds aren’t forever — at least not for Courtney Robertson.

The Ford model has not only called it quits with her fiancée of nine months, Bachelor star Ben Flajnik, but has to return the gorgeous engagement ring that solidified their union.

“Courtney can’t keep the ring,” a source close to Robertson told Celebuzz.

Will she give it back?

The Sonoma winemaker, 30, got down on one knee to propose to Robertson, 29, on the season finale of the hit ABC show in March, and surprised her with a 3-carat cushion-cut custom Neil Lane sparkler.

And while she now has to return the jewel, it looks like she’s holding on to the happy memory for just a little bit longer.

“She hasn’t returned it just yet, but she will by next week,” added the source.

“She’s the one who’s been wearing it, so it’s more than likely she will return it herself.”

The whopping $85,000 bauble isn’t the first Bachelor-inspired ring to be returned. Robertson joins a long list of Bachelors and Bachelorettes who have split just before saying “I do,’ including: Brad Womack and Emily Maynard; Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi; and Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez.

“The rings are all pretty valuable and within the $60,000-$80,000 range. If every Bachelor and Bachelorette who broke up kept the rings, Neil would be broke!” said the source.

Now another bride will get the chance to wear it forever.

“It’ll make it’s way onto someone else’s finger.”

The former couple confirmed the break-up last week.

“After meeting over a year ago, we have decided to end our romantic relationship,” Flajnik and Robertson said in a joint statement. “The ups and downs weighed heavily on us both and ultimately we started to grow apart because of the distance, time apart, and our need to focus on our respective careers.”

“We have nothing but the utmost respect for each other, and both feel this is the right decision,” they continued. “We continue to remain friends and will support each other in future endeavors. Thanks to everyone for your love and support, it’s been quite a ride.”

Robertson even spoke about it just a couple days ago, telling WetPaint, “More than anything, I want people to know there wasn’t some huge fight or one specific thing that led to it,” she said. “There’s really no story to tell other than the fact that it just wasn’t working out.”

“Things had gotten strained.”

That’s how a candid Courtney Robertson is explaining her shock break-up from television Bachelor Ben Flajnik, in her first interview since the pair announced their split last Friday.

“More than anything, I want people to know there wasn’t some huge fight or one specific thing that led to it,” Robertson told Wetpaint.

“There’s really no story to tell other than the fact that it just wasn’t working out.”

She added, “We both realized it in the last three weeks… Of course it’s sad, but we both know it’s for the best.”

Flajnik, 30, got engaged to Robertson, 29, in Switzerland last November in a dramatic proposal which aired on the March 12 finale of season 16 of The Bachelor.

Since then, their courtship has been chronicled in the tabloids, amid rumors of estrangement and even cheating.

Robertson said the outpouring of support from her fans was helping her get through the break-up.

“I want people to know I’m OK,” she said. “I’ve been really surprised by all the support and the nice things people have said. It means a lot to me.”

“I have no regrets,” she added. “Ben will always have a special place in my heart.”

Bachelor stars Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson have called it quits after nine months of dating, the couple confirmed Friday to Life & Style.

“After meeting over a year ago, we have decided to end our romantic relationship,” they said in a joint statement. “The ups and downs weighed heavily on us both and ultimately we started to grow apart because of the distance, time apart, and our need to focus on our respective careers.”

“We have nothing but the utmost respect for each other, and both feel this is the right decision,” they continued. “We continue to remain friends and will support each other in future endeavors. Thanks to everyone for your love and support, it’s been quite a ride.”

The split is a complete turnaround from August, when the couple confirmed — also to Life & Style — that they had moved in together in Flajnik’s San Francisco apartment.

“It’s a soft move-in,” Flajnik said at the time. “We’re spending long periods together to make sure it works.

“We’re taking it slow,” added Robertson.

The couple got engaged in March, during the season finale of The Bachelor, much to the decry of millions of viewers watching at home.

Courtney Robertson and Ben Flajnik are finally feeling a sense of freedom six months after their whirlwind courtship on ABC’s The Bachelor.

The model told Celebuzz exclusively at the In Touch Idols & Icons MTV VMA After Party Sept. 7 that she and her fiance are “really happy right now.”

Robertson also dished about how far along the couple is in their wedding planning: “We’re not far along at all. We’re enjoying things the way they are now.”

But there’s already one thing that Robertson and Flajnik have decided on — the headcount.

So how many people will the future-Flajniks expect at their wedding?

“I thought it would be about 200 people,” explained Robertson, “but now it’s looking more like 300. Oh my goodness, that’s a lot!” she said.

Robertson blames the booming guest list on Flajnik claiming “he’s got a lot of friends.” As far as other details of the wedding planning go, Robertson said they haven’t decided on anything yet and are still in the honeymoon phase of their relationship.

Things have smoothed over since Robertson’s dramatic stint on the hit reality show. Since being one of the most despised contenders in Bachelor history, her housemates have since reached out to clear the air and are now all on speaking terms.

“It was really only three girls and the other girls I was fine with — (and) they reached out not too long ago,” she revealed. Robertson was at the event with former co-star Casey Shteamer, who Robertson calls her “best friend from the show.”

Maybe since all the girls have now reconciled they’ll be invited to the Flajnik wedding? If so, let’s hope ABC airs the nuptials to capture all the awkward moments as they unfold.

Do you think they should be invited? Tell us why or why not in the comments section below.

Their television show may be over, but their love isn’t.

Engaged Bachelor stars Ben Flajnik, 29, and Courtney Robertson, 28, are still going strong four months after the California winemaker put a ring on it during the season finale of the hit reality show.

And the twosome “just couldn’t stop touching,” according to an eyewitness in Malibu over the weekend.

And Celebuzz has the exclusive photos.

How is the reality couple showing their affection?

The lovebirds toasted to the good life Sunday, August 5 at the Kia Beach House in Malibu, where they hosted a wine tasting for their close friends the day after Bachelor producers Cassie Lambert and Peter Scalettar tied the knot.

“They couldn’t keep their hands off each other the entire day,” an eyewitness told Celebuzz of the reality couple.

“They were so relaxed and even snuck in a few kisses for each other. They just couldn’t stop touching.”

The insider also reveals the twosome is “working towards their wedding.”

Although the Santa Monica-based model is still living in Los Angeles, Robertson is sharing an apartment with Flajnik in his hometown of San Francisco.

“They’re spending more time together to get acquainted to the idea living together,” adds the eyewitness.

Clearly prepping to fill both her closets, while sipping wine Robertson even went on a mini shopping spree while fulfilling her hostess duties — picking out shirts and tanks from C&C California and summer shorts from Simply Short USA.

Months after the season’s big finale, The Bachelor‘s Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson are still going strong!

The engaged couple hit up Las Vegas this weekend for some fun in the sun. Spotted at the swanky Wet Republic Ultra Pool, a bikini-clad Courtney looked completely smitten and was inseparable from her man. The Bachelor winner was even spotted flashing her famous 3-carat Neil Lane engagement ring as she packed on the PDA with Ben.

In March, Ben and Courtney jetted off to Mexico to celebrate their engagement soon after their reconciliation aired on the After the Final Rose special. The pair had previously split to “reassess” things, but then announced that they had gotten back together after the finale.

Given their tumultuous past and Courtney’s behavior on the show, do you think this couple will last? Watch what the video below to see what the other contestants have to say then, in the comments, join in the conversation!

Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson are still going strong!

The Bachelor couple jetted off to Mexico to celebrate their engagement soon after their reconciliation aired on the After the Final Rose special. Spotted tanning poolside, Court and her man looked completely smitten as they enjoyed a five-day break in Puerto Vallarta. Apart from showing off her amazing bikini body, Courtney was also seen flashing that famous 3-carat Neil Lane engagement ring from her winemaker fiance.

Despite the couple’s plans to get hitched, many viewers thought Courtney was the wrong choice as this season’s winner. Ben and Court broke things off soon after the finale for the then-bachelor to “reassess” things, but then announced that they had gotten back together during the series’ After the Final Rose special.

Do you think this couple will last? Tell us in the comments!

Oh no he diiiin’t! The Bachelor Ben Flajnik caused an uproar last night when he proposed to catty Courtney Robertson — the most reviled contestant on the show. 

He says nobody understands their love, telling People he hopes we all “get a better understanding of who we are and why we’re still together.”

Further explaining his choice, he says, “She was one of the only girls on the show that questioned the experience and that’s what I found attractive about her – and I still do. Courtney was always like, ‘I’ve only been on two dates with you, why should I bring you home? My family is really important to me.’ It was like finally, someone who asks the right questions instead of [saying], ‘My family is going to love you and it’s going to be wonderful and we could be married for the rest of our lives.’”

Ok, Ben…we believe you? 

What do you think of his decision? Take our poll! 

It’s down to the final three on The Bachelor!

Courtney Robertson, Nicki Sterling and Lindzi  Cox are all vying for Ben Flajnik‘s affections — but what if the choice was yours?

Take our poll to tell us which of these three ladies Ben should give the final rose!

Just what is Ben looking for, exactly? “Someone who is worldly and … has experienced life,” he says. “At such a young age I’ve gone through so much — my father’s passing, I’ve been able to travel … I’ve had a lot of life lessons so that’s what I kind of look for in a counterpoint.”

On the next episode, the foursome are off to Switzerland for exotic dates, plus a rejected suitor returns! 

Are you in love with The Bachelor this season — or has he killed his chanced at romance? Sound off in the comments below! 

Did he or didn’t he find love? That is the question.

The Bachelor himself Ben Flajnik was in Park City over the weekend at the Sundance film festival and party hopped with the best of the celebrity crowd. Saturday night Ben was spotted at the Bing Bar where he watched Aziz Ansari and Drake perform, and appeared to be having a blast (how could you not?).

Friday night, Ben also was spotted partying at Tao where we’re told he was not exactly hurting for female company…

Celebuzz is told there were a line of girls–literally–waiting to meet the TV hunk, all approaching him one by one. Ben happily posed for pictures with a few girls and was spotted hanging out with a two ladies later on, neither of whom are contestant sthis season.

So could he potentially be back on the market?! After all, usually most Bachelor’s or Bachelorette’s are on lockdown until the finale. Unfortunately when pressed by some flirty girls Ben stayed tight-lipped on whether or not he found true love. 

Another source tells Celebuzz that Ben was recently seen near his hometown in Northern California, and was spending time with a woman (very sneakily they added) who was also not a contestant on this season’s show.

What do you readers think? Do you think Ben may be single? Or is he just like any other normal guy who can hang platonically with girls? Speculate away in the comments!

Despite being rejected by Bachelorette Ashley Hebert, winemaker Ben Flajnik is back and has 25 potential future wives vying for his attention. As The Bachelor met with each of the gals, we couldn’t help but notice he looked pretty handsome and seemed to bear a striking resemblance to a few other famous men. Namely, tennis hottie pro Rafael Nadal and, yes we’re going there, Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis.

Seriously, don’t these three guys look alike?

Check out more celebrity lookalikes in the gallery above!

The Internet was buzzing as the 29-year-old Sonoma, Calif., winemaker met the new bachelorettes on The Bachelor‘s Monday night premiere. All the gals tried to pull out all the stops — and tears — but Ben had to send seven girls packing. So who didn’t make the cut?

Spoiler Alert! At the end of the episode, he choose to send home the following women: Amber T., Amber B., Dianna, Lyndsie J., Anna, Shira and Holly.

Did Ben make the right choice? Sound off in the comments.
