Ed Swiderski and his texts to Bethany Steffen

Was it like a joke when they said that Jillian Harris is engaged to Ed Swiderski and that the Radar Online still confirms that during the filming Ed Swiderski texts his ex girlfriend Bethany Steffen. It was during the finale of The Bachelorette, that Jilian had given him the rose, after which the couple were engaged and then questions had aroused asking if Ed Swiderski had stopped his relationship with the ex girlfriend Bethany. If yes that means that whatever that was rumored earlier was nothing true. But the Radar Online seems to say that the couple were still texting each other and that the messages were more than platonic and sexy. But in a recent report a source had said that the actor had broke off his relationship with Bethany and say that it was a week before shooting of The Bachelorette, but however he soon seemed to have regained the contact through texts and mails. The reports also said that Bethany was shocked to know that Ed was getting engaged because the texts that he was sending her were no close to those that a happily engaged man would do.
