Hannah Brown gained fame when she competed for Colton Underwood‘s affection on The Bachelor season 23 in 2018. Fans have remained invested in her journey through the highs and lows that followed.
Although she did not ultimately win Underwood’s heart (the honor went to Cassie Randolph, but their relationship ended in April 2020), Brown was given a fresh start at love when she was selected as the star of The Bachelorette season 15. Unfortunately, she faced another heartbreak, ending her engagement to Jed Wyatt during the After the Final Rose special in 2019.
Since then, Brown has showcased her resilience and talent. She triumphed in season 28 of Dancing With the Stars in 2019. Fast forward two years, and she released her memoir, God Mess This Bless. In 2024, Brown ventured into the world of romance novels with her book Mistakes We Never Made, a year after accepting a proposal from Adam Woolard.
