Canadian 'Bachelorette' suitor caught with his hometown girlfriend

PopGoesTheNews.com >> The Toronto-based suitor on this season of The Bachelorette has been caught locking lips with his girlfriend Jessica Spillas just days before he gets booted off the show by Ali Fedotowsky.

Life & Style Weekly has exclusive photos of Justin Rego holding hands with and kissing Spillas during an outing in the Queen Street West neighbourhood on June 4.

Spillas is the young woman who comes forward on next Monday's episode of the popular reality show – which was taped several months ago – to tell Fedotowsky that Rego is actually with her.

A network press release describes it as "one of the most dramatic confrontations of the season."

Rego is quoted telling ET Canada: "When we ran into each other in Toronto we got caught up in the heat of the moment." Spillas added: "Our encounter in Toronto was initiated by him to make up for not calling me on my birthday."

Someone who isn't surprised that Rego got busted is Kimberly Kerekes, who claims she was also dating the aspiring entertainment wrestler. "I did not know that Justin had a girlfriend," Kerekes says. "I was in denial at first because I spent so much time with Justin but [Spillas and I] exchanged stories and it happened to be true."

Kerekes says she ditched the two-timer before learning that he was filming the new season of The Bachelorette. "I didn't want to have anything more to do with him. I just wanted to be single after he lied so much," she recalls. "He said that he wanted to get back together and work it out but I just wanted nothing to do with him."

The Bachelorette airs Monday nights on ABC and in Canada on Citytv. To read all the details and see more exclusive photos of Rego and Spillas together in Toronto, pick up the new issue of Life & Style Weekly.
