The upcoming season 19 of \"The Bachelorette\" is making history as the first season of the franchise to feature two co-leads sharing the spotlight on their quests for love.

\"It's crazy,\" Recchia said of having two Bachelorettes. \"This is insane and I'm excited to do this journey with you. We did it once together and we've been to the most crazy experience together.\"

\"I'm a girl's girl through and through,\" Windey said of the experience, \"so having a friend by my side is the best thing I could ask for.\"

Both Windey and Recchia made it to the finale of \"The Bachelor\" season 26, but they were both eliminated simultaneously when Clayton Echard decided to try and win back contestant Susie Evans, who had previously left the show.

Though Evans turned down Echard at the final rose ceremony, it was revealed on the \"After the Final Rose\" special that they had connected after the show, they were dating and they are moving in together.

\"The Bachelorette\" season 19 will premiere Monday, July 11, on ABC.
