Pappas 'hopeful for Bachelorette couple'

DeAnna Pappas has sent her support to Bachelorette couple Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski, insisting that she hopes they remain happy together.

The reality stars, who became engaged in the season finale of the ABC show, have recently been forced to deny tabloid allegations that Swiderski cheated on his fiancée with an ex-girlfriend.

"I do hope it works out for them, the odds are against them," she told Us Weekly.

"Supposedly Jillan and Ed are head over heels in love. I haven't hung out with them, but we have mutual friends, and they say they are just crazy about each other. It seems to be working so far."

Pappas rose to fame on the eleventh season of The Bachelor and later appeared in The Bachelorette season four.
