Hayley & Will are still together, getting to really know each other.
Travelling between Clovis, CA and Atlanta. Making some public appearances in those areas, especially Fresno. Benefit this Saturday for St. Agnes Medical Center involves dinner with the couple at a private residence. Wish them much happiness.
Gatherd information from Fresno newspaper & will's relationship with St. Agnes Medical Center's Men's Club. They did an interview on Fox TV news on July 5th, but I missed it.
Hi, here is the transcript of their appearance on Fox News. Lots of info!
RITA COSBY: Well, she saw his face for the first time, get this, after she accepted his marriage proposal. And now you're seeing them together for the very first time, exclusive interview right here on the "BIG STORY." Hayley Arp chose Will Dyke on the FOX TV reality show, "Mr. Personality" where all her suitors wore masks. Now she's getting to know the man behind the mask. Hayley and Will, welcome. Thank you so much for being here.
WILL DYKE, "MR. PERSONALITY" WINNER: Hey, Rita, how are you?
COSBY: Hello there. Weren't you guys nervous? I mean, Halley, weren't you nervous picking a guy you had never seen his face?
ARP: I was nervous, and I was excited, because this is something that I was waiting for. And it was a long time coming, that's for sure.
COSBY: And in your case, sort of a talent scout or somebody picked you out. This was not something that you went after to be on the show, right?
ARP: Yes. Actually I had run into a friend of mine who knew a talent scout, and he -- the talent scout had just sort of cold called me out of the blue and pitched the show a little bit. And at first I said, you've got to be kidding me. Men in masks? I thought, OK. I'm the one woman who gets to choose among the 20 suitors. So that wasn't so bad.
COSBY: So you have the power. You have the power.
ARP: That's right, absolutely.
COSBY: Now, did you check him out? You know, guys - you know, you see sometimes when the guys check out woman even if she's got a mask on -- sort of checks out her figure. Did you sort of check him out at least?
ARP: Oh, absolutely. I think about the second show, I suggested, hey, why don't we all go to the pool so I could sort of get a sneak peek. However, the executive producers were ten feet ahead of us, and they asked the men to put t-shirts on. So, I didn't even get that good of chance to take a peek.
COSBY: And Hayley, you are lucky, because Will is very cute. Will, weren't you nervous going into this?
DYKE: Oh, definitely. You know, having a mask on the whole time, it was definitely a chance to put emotions forward, you know. And it's something so unnatural for guys to do, to put their feelings out on the table. And so it was a big risk for all of us to put ourselves out there.
COSBY: Now, and ...
(CROSSTALK)
ARP: He had never seen a picture of me, so it was sort of -- he was going in sight unseen himself.
COSBY: Right. Exactly. Going in he had no idea. But now I have to ask you an honest question, Will. If the tables were turned the other way, I mean, do you think that, you know, if women were all wearing masks would you go for it? Don't you think guys want to see what they're getting?
DYKE: You know, if I knew that Hayley was there at the end I definitely would give it a shot. But it's definitely a very different thing for men. But Hayley shone through with her personality, and that's what captivated me. I was absolutely smitten with her.
COSBY: And, Hayley, in some ways, don't you think this is, in some ways, more honest, because, I mean, I guess more down to earth and more real. Some of these other shows where these folks have hooked up, a lot seems aesthetic and then they fall apart. Here you really met the personality before the guy.
ARP: Oh, it was sort of a speed dating in a sense. Because we couldn't even talk about what he did for a living. So I had no idea what he did on a day-to-day basis. So we really talked about those things that really take to maybe the fifth or sixth date under any normal circumstance. So we got to know each other very well, very quickly.
COSBY: And one of the other persons involved in the case was Monica Lewinsky, of course, from the Clinton fame. She was there. Did she give you guys any advice on romance and love? I've got to hear this.
ARP: Not really advice. She was really sort of a person that I could confide in, and somebody who I could sort of spill the beans about my dates, because I certainly couldn't talk to anybody on crew, because each and every one of those people on the crew was able to see what the men looked like, except for Monica. So she was really the only person I could talk to.
COSBY: And then, what did you think of her? What were your impressions of her?
ARP: My first impression was, here is this wonderful girl who came into this really kind of strange, funny situation and she was very charming, very professional. And I grew to like her very quickly.
COSBY: And now, Will, you proposed to her and she accepted. I mean, this is pretty brave. What's ahead for the two of you guys? And do you get to keep the mask?
DYKE: I got to keep one mask. You know ...
ARP: But he's not allowed to wear it any more.
COSBY: Oh, he isn't. I ...
(CROSSTALK)
DYKE: No. That's one of the rules.
COSBY: No kinky stuff going on at home or anything like that?
DYKE: No more masks. Just on display.
COSBY: So what's ahead? I know that you've moved over, right? Hayley, I understand you've moved over. You were in Atlanta before, but you are now on the west coast, right?
ARP: Yes. I'm on the west coast now. I still hold residency in Atlanta. It's a beautiful, beautiful city. And I spent a lot of time in Fresno getting to know his friends and family, and doing all kinds of wonderful charity events there that support the local hospitals and such.
COSBY: And, Will, if you can do it differently what would do you?
DYKE: Well, you know what? I wouldn't do a thing differently. The outcome was the greatest thing in the world. I found Hayley, and I could never ask for anything more. We met each other in a very unconventional way. But we're doing it right. We just got - we went to Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. I got to meet some of her friends and see a little bit of her world. And now, you know, we're continuing the story in real life.
COSBY: All right. Hayley and Will, we wish you both best of luck. Both two really neat people. And make sure you don't wear the mask at home, all right?
DYKE: Thank you, Rita.
ARP: That's right, Rita. Thank you so much.
DYKE: She promises.
COSBY: Thank you, guys. Thanks a lot.
DYKE: Thanks, Rita.
COSBY: And that does it for us tonight. Have a fantastic Saturday evening. I'll be sure to see you back here tomorrow night at 6:00 p.m. Eastern time for "FOX NEWS LIVE." Until then, have a great Sunday. And I hope you had a great Fourth of July. I had a great one. Hope you did, too.
Stay tune for FOX News Channel for the network that America trusts for fair and balanced news. And again, have a wonderful Sunday. It is nice and sunny here in New York. Hopefully it is nice where you are, too.

I see the last thread posted here was in June 2003. We here in New Zealand just watched the final of this show last night. So I just found out that Hayley picked Will. Ok, as like most of you, I am keen to know what's happened since then.
Other than the interview, what's the latest now? Are they still together? Got hitched yet?
Thanks for the info sandy....I thought she has moved to california? can someone please post the article from tv guide.... since we unlucky ones cannot get it here from down under........
I'm wondering the same thing. Its so weird. Its like they've both just fell off the face of the earth. I haven't heard about them. Then haven't done any interviews or anything. Does anyone know? I'm beginning to wonder if there was some kind of legal thing going on with the show so we can't find out what's going on right now. Most of these reality shows you get some kind of update but you can't find anything from this one.
