Over 20 years after she became ABC’s first Bachelorette, Trista Sutter has spoken about what led her to give her final rose to her now-husband, Ryan Sutter, rather than the runner-up, Charlie Maher.
Trista, whose inaugural season as The Bachelorette in 2003 came after she was the runner-up on the first season of The Bachelor in 2002, is now celebrating her 23rd wedding anniversary with Ryan, and their children, Max, 18, and Blakesley, 16.
