Hey there, Bachelorette fans. I'm Jager Weatherby from Wetpaint Entertainment, here with an update on one of our favorite Bachelorettes, Season 5 cutie Jillian Harris. We first met Jilly — as she likes to be called — on Jason Mesnick's ill-fated Bachelor Season 13. She then found love, however briefly, with Ed Swiderski on The Bachelorette in 2009. So what's she up to now? Let's take a look.

31-year-old Jillian has had one of the most successful career transitions after The Bachelor and Bachelorette. She's currently part of the design team on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and calls it her dream job. She also recently designed the rail car interiors for the Rocky Mountaineer train and redesigned the San Diego love nest where fellow Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky used to live with her fiance Roberto Martinez. Awww... we just love that these two bubbly Bachelorettes have become friends!

A proud Canadian, Jillian currently lives in Vancouver, BC, and recently encouraged her more than 50,000 Twitter followers to raise funds for a town devastated by fires in her native Alberta.

This year Jill launched a flashy new website, JillianHarris.com, which is sorta like Gwyneth Paltrow's GOOP, but for Bachelorette fans. She writes about interior design, fashion, and food — and answers fan questions and shares videos on what inspires her. You can even take a tour of her fabulous home. There's certainly a reason this girl decorates for a living!

So what's the latest on Jillian and Ed? Although she and Ed ended their engagement in 2010, they still tweet each other all the time. They even reunited in May for a business luncheon and talked about how they remain close friends.

So, can we hold out hope for a reunion? If not, we vote Jillian get the Brad Womack treatment and get a second chance as the Bachelorette! What do you guys say?
