Former The Bachelorette star Andi Dorfman is capping off her holidays with a return trip to the hospital, but don’t worry, she is safe. Dorfman gave birth to a baby girl, Harper Bell Hart, shortly before Christmas and shared the news on Instagram on December 22. While baby Harper is doing well in her first week of life, Dorfman’s recovery from the delivery was not seamless. The reality star revealed in a now-lapsed Instagram story on December 28, caught by People, that she needed to make a return trip to the hospital for a “minor setback” in her post-partum recovery. Dorfman posted an update after her surgery to reveal she was taken to the hospital to solve two hematomas that were causing her a lot of pain while she was at home. “After getting home I was in a ton of pain and it was getting worse by the day.

Over the last several days, Andi Dorfman had a reason to celebrate — and then a reason to be very concerned.

First, the former Bachelorette lead gave birth to her and husband Blaine Hart‘s first child on December 20, announcing the blessed arrival of their daughter via Instagram at the time:

“28 hours of labor later and we are officially a party of three.”

Then, Dorfman was hospitalized.

Less than a week after giving birth, Dorfman underwent surgery to remove hematomas… or collections of blood that form outside blood vessels.

“Welp, we’re back! This time for Mama,” the reality star wrote on her Instagram Stories December 27, delving into more detail as follows:

“After getting home, I was in a ton of pain and it was getting worse by the day.

Andi Dorfman is recovering after a “quick/safe” procedure less than a week after giving birth.

“Lesson Learned: No matter how clueless you are about motherhood, you still know your body best!” Andi added. “Listen to it! Yes, recovery is tough and everyone is different but your instincts are valid (and probably right).”

Andi, who welcomed Harper with husband Blaine Hart on December 20, said that she started experiencing “a ton of pain” shortly after she was discharged from the labor and delivery ward.

Since its premiere, ABC's The Bachelor has featured many leading men of various ages. Following its launch two decades ago, age has been a hot topic in nearly every The Bachelor season. Older leads generally make the series more relatable. They're typically more willing to take the bold step of getting married at the ends of their installments.

It's easy to downplay the relevance of age in selecting the show's Bachelors, and argue that a combination of factors, rather than just one, are needed to be an ideal lead. Nonetheless, a quick ranking of all 27 The Bachelor leads shows how leads have performed, and been received by costars and the public, over the last two decades of the popular reality TV series.

While there had been dating reality TV shows in the past, nothing like The Bachelor had ever existed before. The idea of one man choosing from a pool of 20 to 30 women was beyond belief, and seeing it all happen as cameras looked on, filming everything for a television show was unheard of. Still, when The Bachelor premiered, no one could look away. The audience was quickly captivated by the series, and before long, it became appointment television week after week as the story unfolded.

For the early seasons of The Bachelor, the fame and notoriety that came with being the lead weren't as lucrative as it is now. Many felt ashamed of their turn as The Bachelor since reality TV wasn't as commonplace in the early 2000s, and it...

Over several seasons of The Bachelor, fans have gotten to know Nick Viall and now have the opportunity to listen to his podcast, The Viall Files, where he interviews many reality TV stars. Nick was originally on Andi Dorfman's season of The Bachelorette, where he made it to the final two but was ultimately rejected. In an unprecedented move at the time, Nick went on to compete on Kaitlyn Bristowe's season of The Bachelorette, where he made it to the final two once again. After being rejected by Kaitlyn, Nick went on to become The Bachelor in his own season of the series, but ultimately wound up finding love elsewhere.

After participating in several seasons of television including a stint on Bachelor In Paradise, Nick moved into another space in entertainment. He now hosts his own podcast, The Viall Files, where he discusses various topics with guests from all walks of life.

The Bachelorette season 10 star Andi Dorfman married her boyfriend of two years, Blaine Hart, in a three-day celebration in Sorrento, Italy. Andi got her Bachelor Nation start during Juan Pablo Galavis' season of The Bachelor in 2014, during which she self-eliminated because she knew he was not the one for her. Later that year, she starred on The Bachelorette, during which she got engaged to Josh Murray. They broke up in January 2015. Andi and Blaine first met 15 years ago when they were in college but didn't become a couple until the summer of 2021 when they reunited in Italy. They got engaged on March 30, 2022.

In an interview with People, Andi shared details about her and Blaine's "dreamy" three-day wedding celebration. The intimate ceremony took place in front of 75 friends and family members at the Conca del Sogno Beach Club. Andi and Blaine exchanged handwritten vows. After the ceremony, they and their guests...

In 2014, Nick Viall revealed on national TV that Bachelorette Andi Dorfman had slept with him during their time together on the show. Heartbroken that she didn’t choose him as her winner, Viall asked why she “made love” with him; she said him talking about their sex life was “below the belt.” The episode invited think pieces discussing whether Viall had slut-shamed Dorfman.

Fast-forward nine years and “Bachelor” history has repeated itself.

The star of “The Bachelor” Season 27, Zach Shallcross, broke his own rule not to sleep with any of his final contestants in the fantasy suites. When he was intimate with his runner-up, Gabi Elnicki, he decided it was the appropriate choice to tell the other women that they had slept together. Viewers weren’t shocked when this decision blew up in Shallcross’ face, angering Elnicki, finalist Ariel Frenkel and, the eventual winner, Kaity Biggar.

On this week’s finale of “The Bachelor,...

The Bachelorette alum Andi Dorfman has a wedding to plan, and she recently shared the details with the world. Bachelor Nation fans first met Andi during The Bachelor season 18, where she famously dumped the season's lead Juan Pablo Galavis during the fantasy suite dates.

Former The Bachelorette star Clare Crawley married Mascot Sports CEO Ryan Dawkins in an intimate ceremony in Sacramento, California, on February 1. Clare and Ryan got engaged when he proposed on October 7, 2022, during a lantern release at the RiSE Festival near Las Vegas. Although they had been dating since 2021, they only went public with their romance about a month before the proposal. Clare has said that she wants to have two weddings due to the fact that her mom is not able to travel because she has dementia and Alzheimer's disease. She wanted to have a special moment with her during a small, intimate ceremony. Clare's father passed away in 2004 from brain cancer. For their second event, Clare and Ryan were considering a destination wedding.

In an Instagram post, Clare shared three pictures of her and Ryan on their wedding day, and captioned them, "Mr. And Mrs. Dawkins!"
