BRI Springs is trying to conquer Matt James’ heart on season 25 of The Bachelor.
She is one of a handful of contestants still in the running on the ABC reality show.
What does Bri Springs do for a living?
Bri Springs is a communications manager from San Francisco.
The 25-year-old Springs works for a high-profile social media company, but it has not been revealed to fans what organization it is.
“[Bri] works for a tech company,” Bachelor host Chris Harrison said in December.
“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 because she almost wasn’t on the show because she obviously didn’t want to give up this amazing job.”
According to her bio, Bri “has always outworked everyone around her because she learned early on that everything in life was earned not promised.”
“With her professional life intact, she is ready to focus on her personal life and find the man of her dreams.”
Who raised her?
Springs was raised by her mother and grandmother, “who made countless sacrifices to give her a fighting shot at having a successful life,” her bio reads.
Mom Lauren Stoppelbein was a teen when Springs was born.
Stoppelbein is an aesthetic practice manager who has experience in dermatology and plastic surgery.
She works in the Boston area, but she is originally from Texas.
“My mom raised me as a single mom,” Springs told Matt James during an episode of The Bachelor.
“She got pregnant with me when she was 13. So her priority was me her whole life.”
Springs also told James that she “somewhat had a relationship” with her father.
She said her father was not around much when she was growing up.
“He was absent most of my life and whenever I was younger, I would find myself waiting for him,” she said.
“Growing up, everyone would always ask me, ‘Where’s your dad? Don’t you love your dad? But you still love your dad, right?'”
