'The Bachelorette': Is Ivan ready to marry Tayshia? His mother is skeptical and fans feel it's 'reasonable'

One said, 'Ivan’s dad is amazing. His mom is rightfully skeptical because it’s such a short time. And she’s so kind. These men are lovely'

Tayshia Adams met with the families of all the final four suitors in the latest, December 15, episode of 'The Bachelorette'. After Brendan and Zac, it was Ivan's turn to introduce his parents to Tayshia. 

Tayshia seemed anxious before meeting Ivan's parents owing to several reasons. While she's the second girl who would be meeting them, she was also worried about opening up to his family as he's always been quite guarded himself. Tayshia's worries came true on meeting Ivan's mother as she didn't hesitate from making it clear that she was skeptical about their relationship which has transitioned to the proposal in a short span of time. And, even with Ivan's father Tayshia seemed conscious as he spoke about marriage and commitment. 

Later, when Ivan's mother meets him and asks for his opinion about marrying Tayshia, Ivan says he isn't ready for the proposal yet and can establish his feeling only after meeting her family and seeing how things go from there. Then, his mother jokingly asks him if she would have him around until he makes up his mind. 

Ivan's brother surprises him and the suitor looks forward to Tayshia meeting the most special person in his life. Unlike the time with Ivan's parents, Tayshia looked more comfortable when she met Daniel, who is later seen singing praises of her to Ivan. 

Everything that unfolded between Tayshia, Ivan and his parents has left the audience wondering if the suitor is even ready to marry Tayshia and even if he did, would his family be accepting of her as his mother didn't seem entirely convinced. 

The viewers took to Twitter to express their opinion about Tayshia meeting Ivan's family and his answer to whether he's ready to propose to her. One Twitter user wrote, "#TheBachelorette Ivan just told his mother he’s not ready to get engaged. But then goes on to say the next time I see you I might be engaged. Huh????" Another wrote, "Ivan’s mom is hella skeptical and is making that SUPER clear #TheBachelorette." One said, "Ivan’s dad is amazing. His mom is rightfully skeptical bc it’s such a short time. And she’s so kind. These men are lovely #TheBachelorette." One expressed, "van’s mom being skeptical/wary of the process isn’t unreasonable #TheBachelorette."

'The Bachelorette' Season 16 finale will air on December 21 and December 22 on ABC at 8 pm ET.
