Still, Leslie appeared at the couple’s televised wedding – as did the rest of the cast.
In a recent episode of the podcast Almost Famous, Gerry admitted that he wanted everyone from the show to attend their special day.
Still, he admitted that it was strange to be surrounded by his exes at his wedding: “I’m not gonna lie, that was freaking weird.”
He continued: “I seem to be able to pick out those faces in the crowd much more easily than any of the others.

“Fortunately, I really kept good friendships with pretty much all of those women so it wasn’t as awkward as it could have been.”
He also directly addressed his relationship with Leslie: “I think over time Leslie and I have more and more patched up things and we’re able to hug and say, ‘OK, what has happened is in the past’ and so forth.”
Theresa also agreed that she wanted all of the other contestants there.
She said: “There’s so much warm and camaraderie amongst us. It just added really to how warm the ceremony was, which is what we wanted.”

She went on: “I was asked specifically, would I mind if [Leslie] went.
“I said, ‘Of course not.’ I said, ‘I want to invite her.’ We were really good friends, I love her.”
DIRTY DANCER
Leslie was spotted dirty dancing with another reality star at the Golden Wedding.
After the wedding bells rang, Leslie hit the dance floor with Ben Higgins, who starred in Season 20 of The Bachelor.
Leslie took to her Instagram Stories and reshared behind-the-scenes footage from the event.
During the brief clip, she donned a sparkly silver one-shoulder dress, and she shook her hips while wearing beige pumps.
Leslie twerked and thrust her hip as Ben tried to keep up the fast pace.
The ex-Bachelorette star pumped his fists in the air – like he did not care.
The caption stated: “Ben Higgins and Leslie Fhima getting the reception started.”
FIT LESLIE
Leslie recently shared another bikini photo while enjoying some downtime on her beach getaway.
The reality show’s runner-up has been enjoying her 2024 Soul612 Costa Rica retreat.
She has been sharing fun moments from her trip on social media, which came shortly after she attended the wedding.
In an Instagram post, Leslie took a selfie while lying on her stomach at the beach.
The personal trainer smiled beneath a white fedora and while wearing a dark brown bathing suit, showing just a little hint of her backside.
She also shared another shot of the beach, Playa Flamingo, which she declared in her caption was her new favorite beach in Costa Rica.
