After Amanda, a 25-year-old esthetician from Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, revealed to Ben she has children, the Bachelor said she made "so much more sense" to him because she had a special quality about her that he just couldn't put his finger on. Ben later attributed Amanda's maturity and selflessness to being a mother.

Ben melted hearts in America when he thought of a little activity to do with Amanda in the most recent episode -- making rose barrettes for her girls at home. Amanda admitted it was the nicest thing a man had ever done for her, and it even brought her to tears.

Based on what viewers have seen on television, Amanda is beautiful, sweet and sensitive. Host Chris Harrison also said she'll be one to watch out for this season. But what else do we know about her?

Below is a list of 12 facts Reality TV World compiled about the bachelorette:

- Amanda was married to the father of her two daughters -- three-year-old Kinsley and one-year-old Charlie -- but they got a divorce. 

- A nervous habit Amanda apologizes for is saying the word "like" too much. She wouldn't mind if Bachelor Nation turns her habit into a fun drinking game.

- Little Kinsley told Amanda her hair looks "weird" in a bun so she should never do ballet. Hilarious.

- The bachelorette couldn't figure out what made her more nervous: Meeting Ben for the first time when cameras were rolling or watching it all unfold on TV when Season 20 premiered. 

- Amanda enjoys low-key activities such as stand-up paddleboarding, bike riding and sunset strolls with her kids.

- About six months ago, Amanda felt a hairstylist finally perfected her blonde locks. She said it was the first time in her life she walked out of a hair salon and wanted to take a selfie instead of throwing her hair up in a bun and crying.

- It's clear family is important to Amanda. She jokes around about calling her mother up to 25 times a day to talk on the phone.

- When she's not taking care of her beautiful children, Amanda is probably spending a day at the beach. While the experience is a lot more relaxing without the kiddies running around, she admits it's a lot less fun too.

- The bachelorette has a pretty brunette sister named Carissa Stanton, but she probably won't be appearing on a future season of The Bachelor any time soon. Carissa has had a boyfriend for about three years now.

- If things don't work out with Ben, Amanda might have a chance with The Bachelor's Season 19 star Chris Soules, who seems to be crushing on her. Chris recently told Jimmy Kimmel he thinks the single mom is "cute," and during Monday night's episode, he tweeted, "Wow. Amanda is so sweet."   

- What is the most outrageous thing she's ever done? Amanda hiked 12 miles to a waterfall in Kauai during a thunderstorm.

- Amanda clearly appreciates chick flicks. Three of her all-time favorite movies include Grease, Bridesmaids, and The Notebook.
