Vanessa Grimaldi Reflects on Bachelor Mondays and How It Led to Her Life Now: ‘I’m So Glad I Did It’
Looking back.
Bachelor Nation fans first met Vanessa Grimaldi on Season 21 of “The Bachelor.” Since her time on the show, Vanessa found love off-screen and married her husband, Josh Wolfe.
The two tied the knot on August 20, 2021, and welcomed their first child, Winston, together in September 2022.
Vanessa keeps Bachelor Nation fans updated with her life on social media and this week, she got reflective thinking back on Bachelor Mondays.
While things didn’t work out for Vanessa with Nick Viall, she shared how grateful she still is for her time on the show and how it led her to where she is today.
In a new video she said, “In 2017, I got engaged on ‘The Bachelor,’ moved to L.A., and a few months later was single again. I moved back to Montreal and moved in with my mom at 30 years old. A few months later, my now husband sent me a DM and I instantly knew he was the one.”
Alongside the video where she, her husband, and their son are seen singing, Vanessa wrote, “On Bachelor Mondays, I can’t help but reflect on how life has a funny way of working itself out. I used to question the universe, wondering why I kept meeting the wrong people and getting my heart broken. At times, it felt hopeless. I spent my 20’s heartbroken. Ask my friends and family, it was like the end of the world every time a breakup happened 🙃”
She went on, saying, “When my friend nominated me for @bachelorabc I decided to just go with the flow. Something I’d never done before. And I’m so glad I did it. Every step of your journey has a purpose, and this one led me to the love of my life, my husband @jbrwolfe 🥰😘😍So remember, sometimes the universe makes space in our lives to bring the right people together. And, the right person is making their way to you!”
How sweet!
She shared that this message is for “20 something year old Vanessa” and both fans and Bachelor Nation stars filled the comments of her post with love.
Alexe Godin, who appeared on Season 29 of “The Bachelor,” wrote, “I remember watching you on my tv in high school🥺 So happy for you❤️”
And Alexis Waters wrote, “Ugh, I love this so much.”
We couldn’t agree more and we love keeping up with Vanessa’s beautiful life and family!
