Emotionally shattered and heartbroken, Rycroft returned to Tye Strickland, whom she had had a casual relationship on and off with for a number of years. Strickland accepted Rycroft's return to him, and asked her to marry him. Rycroft later admitted in her memoir that she had always been in love with Tye Strickland, and only was prompted to appear on Bachelor by Strickland's repeated rejections of her pleas for permanency. Furthermore, Rycroft would claim that the Bachelor show was set up to disorient participants, creating a pseudo reality where beautiful surroundings, glamour, and vacation settings serve to make women fall in love with the bachelor. Rycroft coined this condition as "The Bachelor Bubble." In June 2009 she announced via Twitter that she and Strickland were engaged.[15] They married on December 12, 2009, in Mexico.[
Rycroft has battled severe post-partum depression after the birth of daughter Ava Grace Strickland. Rycroft explained that she had been reluctant to discuss her condition as she was loathe to be compared to another famous sufferer of PPD: Andrea Yates, who had drowned her five children in a bathtub in Texas. Rycroft said she simply couldn't find her typical "happy place," and that "nothing" served to "make her happy anymore." Rycroft said she recovered by talking with friends and family and through talk therapy.
Rycroft has also done photo shoots for Maxim magazine, a men's magazine.
