Warning! Spoilers for The Bachelor season 25 below!
“I have kissed a boy,” is what The Bachelor season 23 star Heather Martin excitedly declared when Colton Underwood finally made her wish come true under a sky lit with fireworks. But when Heather makes a comeback to The Bachelor in 2021 to pursue Matt James, a different kind of explosion is predicted to take place. Will the girl who had “never been kissed” win over Matt?
While Matt’s The Bachelor may not eventually be as dramatic as his Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adams’ The Bachelorette, the season sure has a lot of chaos in store. ABC viewers did get a glimpse of it when one contestant exited her limo to present Matt with a vibrator, and another showed up in nothing but lingerie to make an impression on the real estate broker. But while never-been-in-love Matt may have had a hard time calming his nerves down throughout the premiere, never-been-kissed Heather showing up will surely shock the entire Bachelor Nation.
The spoilers about The Bachelor star Hannah Brown’s friend Heather Martin making a surprise entry into Matt’s season have been going around for a while now. However, along with that news, speculations about Heather having dated Matt previously also began. Previously, Heather quit Colton’s season during week 7. A noteworthy suitor of Hannah’s was finalist Tyler Cameron, and in spite of him having not won her heart on the show, the couple did end up spending the COVID-19 quarantine together since her break-up with Jed Wyatt. And as things go in the stranger than fiction reality TV world, Tyler’s best friend is The Bachelor lead Matt.
It’s not known if Matt and Heather have ever dated, even if the promo hints at them being close. But as Reality Steve notes, it could have been Hannah who got her BFF Heather to become a part of Matt James’ season of The Bachelor. Born on September 27, 1995, Heather is born and raised in San Diego, California. As described during first her The Bachelor stint, she enjoys bungee jumping, sky diving, and river rafting. As per her LinkedIn, Heather has been working as an assistant program manager at Aethercomm in Carlsbad, California for the last three years. She is an alum of Bio University Crowell School of Business, and the Bachelor star has also been a marketing research consultant at Van Dyke Coffee Roasters and at a Women’s Pregnancy Care Clinic. Heather is also a pet lover and briefly interned at Dogs on the Run in 2015.
When she is not flaunting her close friendship with The Bachelorette Hannah, Heather’s over 236,000 followers on Instagram get to see her spending time with her sisters Shannon and Colie, or sharing her favorite Bible verses. Now, the fans must tune in to find out how Heather will do on The Bachelor season 25.
