The festivities took place at the luxurious Corazón Cabo Resort & Spa, a prime spot known for its stunning infinity pool, rooftop bar, private beach club, and picturesque ocean-view rooms. Franklyn, 33, chose Cabo for the getaway, commenting that it was “the obvious choice” due to its fun, sunny vibe and convenience for her guests, many of whom hail from the West Coast. “With my wedding being overseas, I wanted to ensure everyone had an easy and enjoyable experience,” she noted.
Detailing her plans, Franklyn expressed her desire for the celebration to not only feel fun and chic but also luxurious. “It’s everything I wanted to treat my loved ones to,” she said, adding that she aimed for an atmosphere that was “elevated, playful, and beachy.” Among those in attendance were her cousin and podcast co-host Alex Franco, alongside her close friend Ali, who has been a long-time presence in Franklyn’s life and on her podcast.
The bachelorette trip was collaboratively organised with the help of her friend Delaney Anderson, whom Franklyn credits for easing the planning process. She shared that her focus was on the themes and gifts for her guests, wanting to ensure they felt cherished during their luxurious escape. “I had the strongest opinions about the themes and gifting my crew things I think they’ll genuinely love,” she explained.
Preparations for the weekend included packing essentials such as seashell accessories, a variety of electrolyte products, and a copy of her upcoming memoir, “Daddy Issues,” which is set to be released on November 10. Ahead of the festivities, Franklyn arrived in Mexico a day early to settle in and work remotely from the resort’s rooftop, enjoying a private dinner hosted by Chef Eric de Maeye.
The celebration kicked off with a morning session of beach-view yoga, where the group sported matching pink outfits. The day continued with an exciting yacht adventure aboard a 100-foot vessel, complete with a private chef serving bespoke meals and cocktails as they cruised the scenic Sea of Cortez. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, dancing, and plenty of swimming, making for a vibrant day at sea.
As evening descended, Franklyn hosted a “mermaid” themed dinner at the Waldorf Astoria’s renowned El Farallón restaurant. Guests were treated to an impressive fireworks display, lovingly arranged by her fiancé, adding an unexpected yet delightful surprise to the night. The celebrations then shifted to Mandala nightclub, where the party continued into the early hours.
The following day, some guests indulged in pampering sessions at the resort’s Sparitual spa, enjoying foot massages and full-body treatments. The group later gathered at Taboo Beach Club for relaxation and further celebration. Throughout the weekend, Franklyn carefully selected her outfits, striving for a mix of stylish, breezy selections alongside a few luxurious pieces.
Franklyn’s romance with her fiancé blossomed through the professional matchmaking service Maclynn. Their engagement took place in a romantic setting atop a hill in Provence, France, where he proposed over room-service pancakes and rosé. Reflecting on their relationship, she describes her fiancé as an excellent listener who pays attention to the finer details, commenting that she feels “really safe” with him.
As the celebration wraps up and the excitement builds towards her wedding, Franklyn is also preparing for the release of her memoir, which will delve into her time co-founding “Call Her Daddy” with former partner Alex Cooper, their subsequent fallout, and the aftermath. “I finally feel ready to share my story from a place of honesty and vulnerability,” she expressed, eagerly anticipating audience reactions to her experiences.
The memoir, titled “Daddy Issues,” will be available in bookstores from November 10, providing fans and followers with an intimate glimpse into her journey. As Franklyn navigates the final stages of wedding planning and the launch of her book, she looks forward to a bright future with her fiancé, eager to embrace life alongside her best friend.
