Whitney Fransway Reveals She Quietly Found Love and Bachelor Nation Reacts
Love is in the air!
Bachelor Nation fans first met Whitney Fransway on Season 21 of “The Bachelor,” and she returned for Season 6 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
After “Paradise,” she dated fellow Bachelor Nation star Connor Saeli, but since the two went their separate ways, Whitney has been keeping her love life more private.
This week, Whitney took to Instagram to recap her 2025 and revealed some major changes that took place last year — including falling in love.
In a new video, she shared, “I am so freaking proud of myself. My biggest lesson last year was: take the leap of faith. Last year I moved across the country, fell in love, said ‘yes’ to a brand new — very exciting — opportunity, and I quietly started building a brand. All that I’ll get to share more on soon.”
Whitney went on and revealed the reason behind her wanting to take leaps of faith, as well as a note of encouragement.
She said, “For a long time I felt this nudge that something needed to change, but fear just kept me comfortable. And at some point I just decided to listen to those inner thoughts and feelings. I chose courage over comfort and I took a leap.
“And honestly, the decision led me to more confidence, spontaneity, creativity, passions I didn’t even know were waiting for me,” Whitney continued. “So if there’s a feeling that keeps coming up for you, it’s for a reason. Every leap that I took, brought me closer to myself and I don’t regret one single one.”
The Bachelor Nation star also kept it real and confessed that last year wasn’t entirely easy.
“It hasn’t all been seamless,” she shared, “but I finally honored the things I’d been holding close for a while, letting courage lead instead of fear. Staying aligned with myself has been the greatest reward, and I’m so proud of that. If something keeps gently calling you, listen. Do it for your future self 🤍”
Followers and loved ones filled the comments with words of encouragement and love, including fellow Bachelor Nation star Alexis Waters who said, “I love my Whitney Fransway.”
Whitney's boyfriend Kenny Martin also commented, “🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽” to show his support, to which she replied, “❤️.”
We are so proud of Whitney and we can’t wait to see all that the future holds for her!
