Who Is The Bachelor's Lauren Maddox?

Aside from looking for a partner that can double as her best friend and will have her back in any and all situations, Lauren Maddox is on the hunt for a family man. More than anything, Lauren wants to have a family someday, and any man who does not want a family is a no-go for The Bachelor contestant (per ABC).

Many of Lauren's Instagram stories highlight how much she adores her family members — especially her sister, nieces, and father. Lauren does her best to spend as much time with her nieces as she can. When she's not lounging on the beach and spending time with her family, however, Lauren enjoys reading books, celebrating the holiday season, working out, and listening to 2000s-era hip hop (via ABC).

On the first episode of The Bachelor, though Lauren did not receive much screen time, she did receive a rose from Matt at the end of the episode. Be sure to tune into the second episode of the 25th season, taking place on Monday, Jan. 11, 2021 at 8 p.m. EST to see how Lauren and Matt get along.
