Andrew Firestone News

Former The Bachelor star Andrew Firestone is not buying Jason Mesnick's sob story after dumping fiancee Melissa Rycroft for Molly Malaney.

"If he didn’t have his mind made up, don’t do anything," Firestone said.

"Don’t feel that you are so pressured into having to propose or make a decision. There’s no reason that you have to do anything, especially if you’re so torn that you’re crying like a little girl on that balcony."

"He was faking it so much that he was crying uncontrollably, then [showed] uncontrollable elation, so he was either lying to one or the other, convincingly."

Andrew Firestone proposed to Jen Schefft on his 2003 finale, and although the couple later split, he doesn't regret his decision at the time.

"It wasn’t like, 'Eh, you know what, flip a coin.'"

Firestone, who said he traded a few emails about Mesnick's behavior with former Bachelorette contestant Trista Sutter, agrees that ending the engagement on the show was inappropriate.

"Don’t drag the poor girl on national TV," he tells Us Weekly. "I think the main thing, you’ve got to act like a gentleman."

The 33-year-old, who is now expecting his first child with wife Ivana Bozilovic, doesn't fall for what he calls Mesnick's "aw shucks, poor me" attitude.

Former star of The Bachelor Andrew Firestone and his wife, Ivana Bozilovic, are expecting their first child, he told Us Weekly this week.

"We're just over the moon, we're so happy," the 33-year-old, who got married in July, said. "It's possible it's even a honeymoon baby!"

Andrew Firestone and Ivana Bozilovic wed in July and honeymooned in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. How did they find out about the kid?

"Ivana had a feeling in the middle of the night so she got up and she took the pregnancy test and then came and jumped on the bed, screaming and yelling," Firestone recalled. "We ended up staying up the rest of the night, laughing and talking about it. Ivana's just been glowing and beaming."

Their baby is due in the middle of April.

"We decided that we're not going to find out the sex of the baby," Firestone said. "There's very few surprises left and I already wasted a big one on Ivana when I proposed to her. This will be our big life surprise."

DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak: Take notice.

A former star of The Bachelor, Andrew Firestone, said "I do" to Ivana Bozilovic Saturday afternoon in a beautiful ceremony in Los Olivos, Calif.

"I feel like I haven't touched the ground for days," the handsome reality TV star said. "It was absolutely perfect."

Firestone, who turns 33 on Thursday, and Ivana Bozilovic, 30, are currently on their honeymoon in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

The couple wed in a lavish ceremony at St. Mark's in the Valley Episcopal Church. After kissing the bride, Firestone's cousin and niece led the processional in a rendition of Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer."

The tire heir, who co-owns the Curtis Winery, proposed to Ivana Bozilovic in 2007 while alone on a beach before a party he'd planned for her birthday.

Former star of The Bachelor Andrew Firestone has revealed that he'll be marrying fiancee Ivana Bozilovic next month in Santa Ynez, Calif.

"She makes me a better person," he says of his 30-year-old model/actress wife-to-be. "Never before have I been so gushy."

Ivana Bozilovic and Andrew Firestone are engaged!

Andrew Firestone, 32, says he was "crushed" when his 2003 engagement to Bachelor finalist Jen Schefft unraveled.

"I was going above and beyond to make it work," he said. "Everybody assumed it was my fault â€" that wasn't the case at all."

Congrats to Ivana Bozilovic on landing such a stud.

Andrew Firestone - who proposed to Jen Schefft on The Bachelor, but it shockingly didn't work out - has a new job.

The wine family heir will be working for Beanie Babies tycoon Ty Warner. He's been hired as director of memberships for Ty Warner Hotels & Resorts.

The former reality TV star will seek to build a "membership community" that goes beyond the traditional focus on the two Santa Barbara properties to include other Warner holdings, according to a press release issued Thursday.

Firestone is engaged to Serbian model-actress Ivana Bozilovic, who is pictured with him above and has appeared in Wedding Crashers and National Lampoon's Van Wilder. They'll be married this spring.

Meanwhile, a new season of The Bachelor kicks off March 17!

Andrew Firestone was rather confident that girlfriend Ivana Bozilovic would accept his recent marriage proposal. Still, the former Bachelor star was nervous.

"I was hoping she would say yes. I was banking on it!" Firestone told Us Weekly in the magazine's October 22 issue. "Not for one second have I doubted that she's the one."

Well, except during third edition of The Bachelor in 2003, where he narrowed a field of 25 bachelorettes down to Jen Schefft and proposed to her in the show's season finale.

However, there was no ceremony, and while the couple dated for several months and reportedly discussed having children together, they eventually split in December 2003.

Firestone told Us he proposed to Bozilovic alone on the beach prior to a surprise 30th birthday party he planned for her, popping the question with a 2.5-carat diamond ring he helped design.

"Just being able to be there with all our friends and family was the most special moment of my whole life," he told Us.

Her former fiance is getting married to another woman, but Jen Schefft isn't bitter.

The ex-Bachelor contestant says she's happy for Andrew Firestone, who announced his engagement this week.

"I am very happy for him and wish them both the best," Schefft said to People magazine.

Firestone proposed to Schefft at the conclusion of the ABC reality show in 2003, but the couple broke up a few months later. Just like all Bachelor couple have done.

On Monday, Firestone's father told the Associated Press that his son is engaged to 30-year-old model-actress Ivana Bozilovic.

"I'm still happily single, but still looking!" Schefft said, adding:"So, if you know any cute, single men in Chicago, let me know."

We hope Andy Baldwin is taking notes - because if he follows the lead of a certain past Bachelor, he'll get married. Someday. To someone not currently on the show.

We're basing this prediction on the fact that Andrew Firestone will reportedly be single no more.

The 31-year-old former star of The Bachelor's third season has proposed to 29-year-old actress/model Ivana Bozilovic, Us Weekly reported in its May 7 issue. The Firestone Tire company heir has been dating the Yugoslavian-born Bozilovic for two years.

According to Us, Bozilovic - who was raised in Chicago and had a brief appearance in Wedding Crashers - works with Firestone at his family's vineyard in Los Olivos, CA.

"[Firestone] is a lot more down-to-earth than I pictured him," Bozilovic said

The aspiring actress and the rest of America were introduced to Firestone during ABC's third edition of The Bachelor in 2003. Firestone narrowed a field of 25 bachelorettes down to Jen Schefft and proposed to her in the show's season finale. However, there was no marriage... of course.

While the couple dated for several months and reportedly discussed having children together, the two eventually split in December 2003. Rumors of their reconciliation began circulating in February 2004, but never materialized - and Schefft even starred in The Bachelorette's third season as Firestone began dating Bozilovic.

"I'm happy for [Firestone]," Schefft, who ended her The Bachelorette season by rejecting the marriage proposals of both her final two suitors.s. "I wish them all the luck in the world."
