Ashley Hebert is a young woman who may have found love and her soul mate.
But she can’t tell a soul about it.
The Madawaska native will star for the next two-plus months in the ABC romance-reality show "The Bachelorette." It marks the first time a Mainer has been the star of a competition reality show and not a contestant.
She’s finished filming, so she knows which of the 25 eligible bachelors she liked and didn’t like. Who she kissed and who she didn’t.
But neither she nor ABC -- especially ABC -- wants her to spoil any surprises in store for viewers.
So when reporters from across the country asked her during a conference call last Wednesday if she was now engaged, she declined to answer. And an ABC public relations representative was on the line with her to make sure she didn’t answer.
"Let’s just say I’m happy with the way things turned out," said Hebert, 27, a dental student at the University of Pennsylvania. "You’ll all have to tune in to find out."
Hebert also wouldn’t say how much ABC is paying her for her starring role, saying that information is "kind of private." But she did answer one question for her practical-minded fans back in Maine.
