The Bachelorette star Becca Kufrin and Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s last conversation did not take place on The Bachelor: After the Final Rose in early March.

Bachelor Nation probably assumes Becca and Arie never spoke again after discussing their heavy split on The Bachelor's Season 22 finale, but that's not the case!
According to Becca, Arie actually made an appearance when she filmed The Bachelorette's fourteenth season, which premiered May 28 on ABC.
"For the rest of the journey, well let's just say I can relate to Arie more than I ever expected. When it comes to matters of the heart, love isn't always so simple," Becca wrote in her People blog of the pro racing driver, who fell in love with two women on his season and ultimately proposed marriage to both of them.
"And [Arie], he comes back into my life in the most unexpected way that changes both of our lives forever."

Becca elaborated on this interaction with Arie that will air this season on The Bachelorette during an interview with Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday.
"He will show up, yes. We do have a conversation and you'll just have to see that unfold," Becca said.
"At that point it wasn't emotional, it was just two adults sitting down, wishing each other the best and talking through our experiences. That was our last conversation we've had. I knew that would probably be the last time we had a conversation, and I wish him and [Lauren Burnham] the best."
Arie and his season's runner-up, Lauren, are currently planning a January 2019 wedding in Hawaii. Arie popped the question to Lauren on After the Final Rose, which aired less than two months after Arie broke Becca's heart on-camera and called off their engagement.

While it was obviously tough for Becca to accept Arie wanting to be with Lauren instead, the 28-year-old Minnesota publicist found her experiences on The Bachelorette even more difficult.
"I clearly was heartbroken by Arie and that was hard, but what's hard for me is having to break somebody [else's] heart," Becca told ET. "It was difficult being in this position, kind of having that power to say goodbye and to hurt people."

But the process happily ended with Becca falling in love again and getting engaged to one lucky bachelor. (For The Bachelorette spoilers on who allegedly won Becca's heart, click here).
Now that Becca has totally moved on from her relationship with Arie, she admitted she'd have no problem attending his wedding.

"If they [invited] me I probably would [go]," Becca noted. "I would want to support them. Lauren and I were friends when we were together. I mean, if there was an open bar and I got that invite -- hopefully, I can get a plus one!"
