This will be the second marriage for Amanda, as she was married to Nick Buonfiglio from 2012 to 2015. The former spouses share two daughters, Kinsley, 9, and Charlie, 7.

She first entered Bachelor Nation in 2016 on Ben Higgins' season of The Bachelor. After Ben sent her home, Amanda headed to Mexico for a stint on Bachelor in Paradise. That show ended with her engaged to fellow cast member Josh Murray, though they split before the end of the year.

Amanda went on to date Robby Hayes and Bobby Jacobs, before she and Michael, her longtime friend, went public with their relationship in Feb. 2021.
