Chelsea Roy is one of The Bachelor star Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s bachelorettes to keep a close eye on, according to show host Chris Harrison.

Chelsea is a 29-year-old real estate executive assistant and former model from South Portland, ME who will be competing for Arie's heart when Season 22 premieres Monday, January 1 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.

When Chelsea is first introduced to the pro racing driver turned real estate agent, she "goes out of her way to make a first impression on Arie," Chris told People.

And Arie will apparently be captivated by Chelsea's personality and presence at the season's first cocktail party preceding the Rose Ceremony in which he must eliminate eight women.

"He is very taken by her," Chris shared.

"But he can tell she's holding back. She has a little bit of a secret. She will reveal it into the show."

Chelsea has a three-year-old adorable son named Sammy, whom she has described as her "everything" and "whole world." Whether her child is Chelsea's "secret" on the show, however, remains to be seen.

Chelsea will be one of 29 beautiful and accomplished bachelorettes Arie is afforded the chance to meet and get to know.

"The women blew Arie away on night one," Chris revealed to People of Arie's impressive roster of ladies.

"And Arie is a little older and confident. He doesn't mind not always acting cool or having to say and do the right things. He gets these women and it makes them fall very fast for him!"

ABC has disclosed The Bachelor will be "filled with passionate highs and heartwrenching lows" next year, and Arie told Reality TV World earlier this month that he did, in fact, find love -- with two women!
