The Bachelorette star Andi Dorfman reportedly doesn't want to waste any time starting a family with her final-rose recipient.

"Andi wants to settle down and have kids right away," a show source told Us Weekly in its latest issue. "She's still working out how her professional aspirations will fit into all that."
Dorfman recently quit her job as an assistant district attorney in Atlanta, however, in her resignation letter, she made it clear she's not giving up on her career and it's hopefully just a temporary departure.
The reason why Dorfman, 27, asked to resign from her position at the Fulton County District Attorney's office was apparently because of upcoming opportunities related to her stint on The Bachelorette and she felt requesting an extension on her original three-month leave of absence would simply be unfair.
With The Bachelorette's tenth-season finale only a few weeks away, Dorfman still has Josh Murray, a 29-year-old former professional baseball player from Atlanta, GA; Chris Soules, a 32-year-old farmer from Arlington, IA; and Nick Viall, a 33-year-old software sales executive from Chicago, IL, in the running to win her heart.

At this point in the season, Dorfman confessed to having "more questions than answers" about her diverse group of suitors, according to Us.
Viall was not popular amongst the guys in the house, but his former college roommate Joseph Tuttle explained the bachelor is just misunderstood.
"He's confident and speaks his mind," Tuttle told the magazine.
According to a The Bachelorette insider, "Nick had an 'all's fair in love and war' attitude."
After all, "Andi likes a guy who doesn't play by the rules," host Chris Harrison told Us. "She's like, 'That's a man!'"

Murray, on the other hand, wasn't so forceful in either his actions or words.
"Josh scared her the most because he was so similar to previous boyfriends who had broken her heart," said The Bachelorette insider of the former athlete.
Afraid she was distancing herself from him, Murray "knew he had to change his behavior," explained the show source.
On the June 30 episode, Murray admitted to Dorfman, "I am falling in love with you," which seemed to put her mind more at ease.
But the wheels were turning in Dorfman's head when it came to picturing a country life with Soules on his 6,000-acre farm in Arlington, which has a population of less than 1,000 people.

"His background was different from hers, which was certainly a concern," the show source told Us. "They're both very successful and family-oriented. Out of all the guys, he was the most settled in career and home."
After hometown dates, Dorfman chose to eliminate Marcus Grodd in order to avoid hurting him worse or leading him on. However, the show source said she "loved every one" at that point. Going forward, she'll continue to use her analytical skills to make the rest of her decisions.
"She's a successful lawyer. She does her investigating and she's very methodical," Harrison told the magazine. "That's how she went through The Bachelorette as well."
As for the guy Dorfman chooses in the end, things are reportedly going wonderfully for the couple so far.
"She's happy!" noted The Bachelorette insider, adding that the pair has met in secret a few times since the finale taped in May. "They've seen each other a lot. Andi envisions a life with him."
