Bio

ABC’s hit romantic reality series, “The Bachelorette,” will kick off its 11th season continuing the surprises of this season’s “Bachelor” with the biggest one of all: there will be two Bachelorettes. One of them will be Kaitlyn Bristowe. Millions watched in quiet astonishment when Chris Soules explained to a heartbroken Kaitlyn that she was not the woman with whom he would be spending the rest of his life. Her eyes brimming with tears, she stepped inside a waiting car to head back to her single life.

Kaitlyn is truly one of a kind. She’s beautiful, irreverent, and undeniably hilarious. In the past, however, her playful demeanor has often kept her from opening up and being vulnerable to love. It was her experience on the Bachelor that helped her finally tap into that part of her heart that has been dormant for so long.

A self-proclaimed free spirit and the daughter of a ballerina, Kaitlyn’s love of dance took hold at a very young age. She hasn’t stopped moving since, neither figuratively or literally. Kaitlyn danced through her 20’s, as many do—enjoying life with family and friends. But now, with her 30th birthday right there on the horizon, Kaitlyn is ready to reprioritize and put love first. She’s done dating just for fun -- she’s looking for a husband.

Last season, viewers were thankful for the laughs and smiles she gave them along the way, as her electric personality and indelible sense of humor lit up the screen each week. Kaitlyn was a huge fan favorite from the beginning, and remains so to this day. She is one hundred percent certain that this is the way she is going to find her husband, and wants everyone to share this once-in-a-lifetime ride with her.
