Hannah G. has been making waves ever since she scooped up the first impression rose on night one. Did you know she already has a Bachelor connection?
There’s a lot of in-dating in Bachelor Nation. Couples that meet after their respective seasons of The Bachelor or The Bachelorette often find great success. Just take Jason Tartick and Kaitlyn Bristowe as an example, as they pair has recently started dating each other with great success.
It looks like Colton Underwood’s season of The Bachelor has already been affected by some of this inter-franchise mingling: frontrunner and winner of the first impression rose, Hannah G., reportedly used to date Bachelorette alum Chris Strandburg.
Chris competed on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season. During his time on the show, he became best known for his “Cupcake” nickname and his famously tearful elimination in Ireland. You can watch that emotional moment in a clip below:
Don’t worry, Hannah G. fans! The pair has long been split up, so there’s no threat that this leading lady might have a “secret boyfriend” back home who is threatening her and Colton’s new relationship. Hannah and Chris reportedly dated in the spring of 2018, well before she ever made her way out of a night one limousine.
Chris may not have been in many Bachelor-related headlines as of late, but he’s still a noteworthy connection for Hannah G. It proves that this favored contestant has handsome taste in men and that she is familiar with the kind of guy who competes in a Bachelor series. A little understanding can go a long way on this show, especially considering that the “journey” isn’t anything like your typical dating process.
We would guess that this past relationship will ultimately help Hannah G. to build a better connection with Colton. There is simply a level of relating that some of the other contestants won’t be able to bring to the table. Yet another reason to suspect that Hannah G. will be in the Bachelor final four!
