Sepideh Haftgoli: Iranian Plaything of Andy Baldwin
Now we know why The Bachelor star, U.S. Navy Lt. Andy Baldwin, called off his engagement to Tessa Horst. He had another woman in his back pocket!
The hunky Navy diver and triathlete was spotted getting cozy with a former Miss Iran, Sepideh Haftgoli, in a Los Angeles park this past Sunday.
Check out this pic of Baldwin and Sepideh Haftgoli via JustJared.com ...
Andy and Sepideh: So cute together.
Baldwin proposed to Tessa Horst at the end of the most recent season of ABC's The Bachelor, but called off the engagement last month. The two said they were still together, however. Wonder if Tessa knows about Sepideh Haftgoli. Hmm.
This isn't the first semi-famous dude to be linked to Sepideh Haftgoli. She reportedly dated former Friends star David Schwimmer a few years back.

geez - is andy gunna be scrutinized every single time that he is seen with someone in public???! hugs dont mean sexually involved...this rumor is BOGUS

Andy and Tessa are still togther! :)

Yes. Tessa knows that Andy and Sepideh are old friends. Tessa knew about this. The article is bogus. Just a few hours before this photo was taken, Andy was with Tessa partying with Clint Eastwood and others for a charitable cause. Andy and Tessa were seen holding hands and were lovey-dovey. Tessa is the love of Andy's life.

Sepideh is like a little sister to Andy. The photos don't show anything that's romantic within the two. Andy is in love with Tessa.

It is good that Tessa knows about Andy meeting with Sepideh. However, Andy needs to use better judgment as to how many times he has to hug or put his hands on his lady friends in one visit.
He should reserve his 'hands-on' for Tessa. It appears he craves affection from other women too. This may wear thin with Tessa too in the future.

How do you know that Tessa knows about Sepideh? Also, how do you know that Tessa and Andy are still together?

This is so crazy! I went to junior high and high school with Sepideh Haftgoli and now she is famous!

He should also be careful who he associates with. Miss Iran has dual citizenship and is considered a foreign national. At a time when the president of I ran was denied acces to ground zero and has made references to war she is the last person he should be talking with. I believehe has a security level....

Two friends in a park - that's all we see here. Sepideh is a lot of things (smart, attractive, kind, etc) but she is definitely not a homewrecker.

Tessa isn't huge on PDA. Andy is a 'hands' man. He will never change. Tessa needs to take a good look at this before making big decisions on/with Andy.
He says 'he's affectionate'. He'll always be this way with other women. His blatant lack of respect for Tessa was revealed when photos at The Grove were taken of he and Sepideh. One hug didn't do it for him - repeated hugs with some sexy teasing with his glasses made it better. Tessa, you deserve better.

Sepideh Haftgoli is not former Miss Iran. She did however participate in the Miss Iran Pageant 2004 and was not picked even for the top 10. She also fell and hit his dance partner head to the stage area while performing her talent for the Miss Iran Pageant. The winners were Shila Tavakkol (first place) and Tala Roshanravan (second place) back in 2004. for more information, pictures, videos, or proof of winners you can contact me anytime.

this is such b.s. who cares?

Shila. That is not true. I attended the Miss Iran pageant. There was NOT a first or second place. They picked about 6 finalists and Sepideh was in fact one of them. They were to go to finals, but the king of the country died and it never happened. Due to the unorganized efforts of the production running it. Sepideh was one of the Miss Iran finalists. Sounds to me like you are tooting your own horn Shila. You are wrong and incorrect.
November 9th, 2007 2:27 PM
oh yeah, Shila, one more thing....she didn't fall. Her dance partner messed up and bumped her head on the stage. it was not her fault at all, but her talent was the most entertaining and fun of them all. i don't even remember what the hell you did. hahahahah. She really was a good sport about it and was the most elequantly spoken. plus she is gorgeous.

sepideh is the only one they wrote an official article about
http://www.laweekly.com/la-vida/a-considerable-town/tehran-nights/8933/
because she was the only one worth writing an article about. all the other girls TRIED to act like they were smart, but when it came to the questioning...they were idiots...morons
plus i watch persian tv. and the guy that ran the pageant had her on as a host on her own show on his network, also interviewed her a year or two after the pageant and introduced her as miss iran. you can't argue with the man that threw the thing in the first place
the funny thing is, she is such a sweet and classy girl and wouldn't want to be mixed up in all this gossip talk anyway. i met her a couple times, and she has such a good heart. she would probably tell me to not even bother responding. but i felt the need to put this "Shila" girl in her place.

well Mr Doctor Andy I think you are wrong to do this you need to let us know something why did you go on the bachelor and say all that stuff and you then seen with someone else I think you guys need to check your self before you go on this show are you ready to change you guyd hurt the girls to much and that no lye I hope that you and tessa get back together you to were the boomb smile from biggmommy of Tx

Jennifer Jones, This Sepideh is only a friend and nothing more. Andy and Tessa never broke up. Infact, Tessa was with Andy and Sepideh when those pics were taken.

Rez,
i don't agree with everything you said. I know Shila, Tala, and Mehran the owner of the TV show and the pageant organizer. Sepideh is a sweet girl, so is Shila. She was also asked to have her own show on the Persian TV by Mr.Mehran if you know them at all you can ask them personally!
but shila, didn't want to participate to begin with that is why she didn't participate as you probably know, the TV shows were nothing but a Joke. so were the pageant with a shitty organization. Shila would never advertise herself, that's the last thing in her mind. She is a Goodwill Ambassador for the United nation, and one of the kindest people i have ever met. Gossip and accusation are the last things on her mind, and trust me when i say she is sorry have been in the pageant to begin with.
now that was not to put you in your place as you wished to do so with Shila. it's just a peace of information that you might want to consider, before bashing on Shila, and whomever wrote that comment on her behalf.
November 17th, 2007 11:58 PM
Rez, One more thing
the only reason the writer wrote about sepideh about Miss Iran Pageant, is because she was friend with the writer! I was in the pageant myself, and was backstage. watching the whole thing with the photographers and the news crew. Shila didn't want to participate because she thought it was a joke to begin with. IT WAS A JOKE...
I am not bashing on Sepideh, but dancing lambada as a talent vs speaking 5 languages, creating non-profit organization to fight Poverty around the world, Fight for Cancer, and being a Goodwill Ambassador. honestly as yourself who is worth writing about?
it's a shame people here in the US are so judgmental towards people they never met!
November 18th, 2007 4:11 AM
"Chris" First off, if Shila thought the pageant was such a joke then she shouldn't have participated. easy as that.
second, i don't know shila nor do i care about anything she does because it doesn't effect my life or anything. she may do all that stuff, good for her. but just for the sake of clarity, sepideh is a law school graduate, a humanitarian and i saw her interviews versus any of the other girls and she was the one that was hands down the most intelligent and well spoken. there was one other persian girl that spoke farsi most of the time (i can't remember her name) but she didn't make it to the top Miss Iran winners, but she was really smart too and pretty and i was surprised she didn't get one of the titles of Miss Iran.
Anyway. who cares. move on. that's it.

Thanks

i checked out that website tony. interesting, but looks like they want money to join the pageant legit pageants don't take money to participate. plus they say it is the first pageant to be done outside of iran. that is not true. there was one that one of the Iranian stations had several years ago which is the one sepidah was in. anyway. it still kinda looks like an intersting pageant
