Zach Shallcross returns to Splitting Hairs more than two years after his first appearance. He was newly engaged to Kaity then. Now they are married and building a life together in Austin. Zach talks about what has changed since The Bachelor, and what their relationship looks like when the wedding is over and everyday life takes over.
Zach and Kaity kept their ceremony intimate, with seven people present, then celebrated with friends and family. He shares why they wanted both experiences and what the first year of marriage has taught them. He and Tab talk about disagreements, knowing when to take a break from an argument, and why keeping score does not help either partner. Tab brings his perspective from marriage and parenting, and Zach talks about the family he and Kaity hope to build.
Kaity is a Canadian nurse navigating the U.S. green-card process. Zach explains how that affects her ability to change jobs and how the two of them think about their future together.
There is plenty beyond marriage, too. Zach and Tab discover their shared Anaheim roots and compare which sports are best watched live. Zach traces his Houston Texans fandom back to getting cut from his high-school baseball team and turning to football. He also talks about an interest he has pursued quietly for years: acting and voice work, inspired in part by his uncle, actor Patrick Warburton. He explains why he and Kaity passed on a couples podcast, what kind of work he would like to try next, and how AI may change opportunities for performers.
