This past year Andi Dorfman has been on a non-stop search for a soul mate— first as a dark horse favorite on season 18 of The Bachelor, then as the single star of The Bachelorette this summer. The 27-year-old Georgia attorney and LSU graduate wrapped her season in July with a new fiancé and a flurry of media attention. Now, with US Weekly covers behind her and wedding plans in the works, Dorfman can finally relax.
Why become The Bachelorette?
I was very reluctant at first. I was ready to move past The Bachelor. But I found myself still single and still wanting to find love. I kept asking myself, ‘Why not?’ And I could never come up with a valid answer, so I went for it.
Is it hard to fall in love on camera?
It is not as hard to form relationships in front of the camera as it might seem. Sure, at first, it’s awkward. But you start to know everyone who works behind the camera so well that I really forgot the cameras were there. I will say it can be incredibly awkward kissing and knowing there are cameras capturing every moment of it.
