'Bachelorette' Harris 'happy with Swiderski'

Bachelorette couple Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski are still "in love" despite tabloid allegations of his infidelity, according to a friend.

Reports had suggested that the reality stars were on the verge of splitting after two ex-girlfriends of Swiderski claimed that he had been in contact with them while he was romancing Harris.

Speaking to OK, friend Shannon Long said: "Jill was aware that there was a risk of this kind of tabloid attention when she got involved in the show.

"[She] is in love. I've never seen her so happy in my entire life."

Another friend added: "Those girls who claimed they were still with him were in it for fame and financial reasons. They saw an opportunity and ran with it and didn't care who they hurt along the way."

Both Harris and Swiderski have previously denied rumours that their relationship is in trouble, with Harris admitting that she wants to get away from the spotlight.
