When “The Bachelor” 2018 season premiered, viewers who were privy to the show’s spoilers knew that Rebecca “Becca” Kufrin would ultimately win Arie Luyendyk Jr.’s heart at the conclusion of Season 22. Now, that has all changed.

New rumors suggest that Arie has chosen a different path to find love and is not still engaged to his original winner. Reality Steve, who has long predicted the results of the series with success, is reporting that Arie recently dumped Becca, who he has been engaged to since late last year, in favor if his runner-up, Lauren Burnham.

Of course, ABC has yet to address these rumors. While it’s clear viewers will have to wait until the season’s conclusion to find out the truth about who Arie picks, let’s get to know Lauren a little better before the speculated bombshell hits airwaves.

How Old Is She?

Lauren B. is 25-years-old.

Where Does She Live?

She currently lives in Dallas, Texas, though her hometown is Virginia Beach, Virginia.

What Has Her Interaction With Arie Been So Far?

Like the other contestants, Lauren first met Arie outside “The Bachelor” mansion in January’s premiere episode. Throughout the season, fans have watched as Lauren has joined Arie on numerous group dates from a wrestling event to an upcoming bowling competition, but it won’t be until episode 6 that the two finally get some alone time.

What Is Her Job?

When she’s not on reality TV, her LinkedIn profile reveals she works at Vonage Business as a sales executive and has been with the company since February 2017. She previously worked as a marketing specialist.

Lauren’s also well-educated, graduating college in 2015 with a degree in psychology. She also previously attended medical school.
