Bri, whom ABC says is "really something special," enjoyed the very first one-on-one date of the season with Matt and so she had to sit back and watch him build connections with other women after that point.

The pair learned they have a lot in common in terms of what they've been through in the past as well as what they'd like for their future, and Matt could see himself settling down with Bri one day and potentially being her husband.


Bri hasn't received much screentime with Matt since that date, but she continues to secure roses and deepen her bond with The Bachelor star.

Until viewers can watch Bri shine on The Bachelor again and receive more time with Matt, let's learn some things about the bachelorette and what makes her tick right now.

Below is a list of nine facts Reality TV World has compiled about Bri Springs.

Bri Springs didn't have your typical upbringing

Bri's mother is Persian and white-passing, and her father is Black. Her mother got pregnant at age 13, and Bri's parents separated before she was born.

Bri was therefore raised by a single mom and her grandmother, and she grew up feeling like she was her mother's priority and best friend.

Bri said the women in her life made many sacrifices to give her the best shot at a successful future.

Bri therefore says she has always outworked everyone around her, knowing nothing in life is promised or guaranteed.

The Bachelor bachelorette is cool as a cucumber and doesn't lack confidence

Bri describes herself as very laid-back and doesn't get embarrassed easily.

Bri says she is always the alpha in her relationships but would love to find someone who can challenge her and keep life interesting and exciting.

Bri is very proud of her achievements

Bri works for a high-profile social media company. Given her professional life is intact, Bri says she's now ready to focus on her personal life and find the guy of her dreams.

The Bachelor host Chris Harrison recently said of Bri's job, "She works for a tech company. I'm not allowed to say what tech company and I don't want to put her job in jeopardy, but it is a big one -- so much so, that she almost wasn't on the show because she obviously didn't want to give up this amazing job."

Bri is an outdoorsy girl and certainly not a homebody

The bachelorette rarely spends a weekend indoors. She enjoys hiking, hanging out at the park or going to nearby beaches.

Bri also has photos of herself snowmobiling and going to festivals and concerts on her social media.

Bri's dream is to live in Kauai and live the island life, eating nothing but sushi all the while swimming in the ocean and hiking.

The Bachelor bachelorette has two tattoos

Bri's tattoos are of a wave on her left wrist and another on her right rib cage that reads "thirteen" in Farsi.

Bri wants her future husband to fill in the holes in her heart

Bri said she learned during quarantine that her mother was pregnant with a fiance and planned to start a family that Bri didn't feel she was physically a part of.

"There was a moment in time where I don't feel like I have a home to go home to anymore, now that my mom has her home and her family. Where is my home? Where is my family?" Bri has shared.

Bri has somewhat of a relationship with her father, but he was apparently absent for most of her life and she spent a lot of time waiting around for him.


"I always gravitated towards friends with large families. That's what I want for myself and a relationship, is that one person I can feel like, 'This is my family,'" Bri has said.

The Bachelor host Chris Harrison believes Bri is quite the catch

When announcing Matt's initial set of The Bachelor bachelorettes on Facebook, Chris gushed, "Bri is the total package, in all seriousness."

"Everybody, I think, would really fall for Bri," Chris said. "[She has] beauty, brains [and is] unbelievably sincere."

In addition to having a "legit career," Chris called Bri an "unbelievable woman" and said she's "incredibly smart and obviously beautiful."

Chris also revealed Bri is "a straight shooter" who "will always tell it like it is" and "wears her heart on her sleeve."

The Bachelor's Sarah Trott doesn't believe Bri is a mean girl

Sarah revealed to Entertainment Tonight that Bri and Rachael Kirkconnell attempted to console her when she felt attacked by the other girls and decided to quit The Bachelor, although the sweet moment wasn't shown on television.

"A scene that didn't make it, Rachael and Bri are so sweet and they came to comfort me," Sarah shared.

"I did make good friends and there were moments where I was thinking, 'These are friendships that I can have moving forward.' So I think that's a positive, too."

Sarah therefore told ET that she hopes Matt ended up choosing Bri or Rachael in the end.

"They were the first to comfort me and they were absolute sweethearts," Sarah recalled.

"I can imagine them being in the Top 4 just because they are really sweet and smart girls, from what I saw, and that is the kind of person Matt should end up with."

Bri appears to have gone on The Bachelor for the right reasons

It doesn't seem like Bri is after a career as a social-media influencer.

Bri only joined Instagram in late November 2017, and over the last three years or so, she has only posted around 30 times.

Most of Bri's photos are with family or feature her on vacation or at festivals with friends.
