Lexi gets to know Joey on The Bachelor
Lexi Young is 30 years old and hails from Ohio but is now based in Atlanta, Georgia.
She works as a digital strategist and is super smart. Her ABC bio reads she: “graduated in the top 1% of her MBA summer program at MIT.”
At this point in her life, Lexi is looking for a “stable man” and really wants to settle down with “the one.”
Judging by her performance during the Mrs Right challenge in episode 2, Lexi isn’t afraid to go after what she wants in life.
Lexi’s dream
Given Lexi is appearing on The Bachelor, it’s clear she’s looking for love. But, she’s also ready to fulfill a lifelong dream of starting a family.
She explains on The Bachelor: “I have endometriosis, it will be very tough for me to have children. But, I’ve always wanted to be a mother.”
She adds: “I want to get married and I want to start building that family.”
Joey says at their dinner in episode 1, he thinks things “happen for a reason,” before they share a kiss.
The Bachelor star opens up
Lexi is now raising awareness about her condition as she shares: “I know I’m not alone in my story, so I hope sharing what I’ve been through can help others also going through their own endo journeys.”
Taking to Instagram on February 5, Lexi explains her symptoms of endometriosis emerged when she was “quite young.”
She tells her followers how her symptoms were “so bad” at times she would “pass out at work from pain.”
To try and understand the condition, she explains she would go to “multiple doctors appointments per week,” but was diagnosed with conditions she “didn’t have” and was even told the pain she was experiencing was “in her head.”
She explains in the post’s caption she was: “…ultimately diagnosed with endometriosis in early 2019 and had endometriosis surgery in April of 2019.”
