I don\u2019t know. We\u2019re excited, but we question all the men that are going to be on it. Are they doing it for fame or doing it for them? That kind of scares me because I have three grandkids, and I get it. There\u2019s probably a lot of men who don\u2019t want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/taylor-frankie-paul-thinks-dakota-will-be-sad-shes-the-next-bachelorette\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">jump into a relationship<\/a> [with someone who] has three kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Liann is also nervous to see how Taylor handles being away from her three children while the show is in production.
