What To Know

  • Lauren is a contestant on Netflix’s Let’s Marry Harry.
  • She previously appeared on The Bachelor.
  • She competed on The Bachelor alongside her sister.

We first met Harry Jowsey on Too Hot to Handle, watched him spark a relationship with Love Is Blind fan favorite Jessica Vestal on Perfect Match, and then saw him show off his dance moves on Dancing With the Stars. Now, Harry is back with a brand-new challenge: finding his wife.

With 20 women competing for his heart and three trusted Confidants helping him make the toughest decisions, welcome to Let’s Marry Harry, the Netflix dating show we couldn’t help but binge.

One of Harry’s fiancées in the first season is no stranger to reality TV or the challenge of competing for a man’s attention, even when her sister is competition. Meet Lauren Hollinger, the returning reality star hoping to win Harry’s heart on Let’s Marry Harry. Here’s everything you need to know.

Who is Lauren Hollinger?

Lauren is 31 years old and isn’t afraid to speak her mind — and then some. Outside of work, she enjoys Pilates classes, music festivals, and watching TV. She describes herself as “insane,” which, honestly, feels pretty relatable.

One thing that immediately catches Lauren’s attention on the show is the presence of Harry’s ex, Georgia Hassarati, who is one of his Confidants helping judge the contestants. Lauren admits that, in the outside world, she wouldn’t be comfortable with her boyfriend being best friends with his ex.

Uh oh. Let’s hope Georgia didn’t hold that against Lauren in her decisions.

Where is Lauren from?

Lauren calls Dover, Delaware home! According to her Instagram, she now lives in Philadelphia.

What is Lauren’s job?

Lauren is a nurse… for now. Yep, because one of her more controversial relationship takes is that “men should support women, and women shouldn’t work.” For the moment, it appears she’s still heading in for her shifts and scrubbing in for work.

What TV show was Lauren on before Let’s Marry Harry?

This isn’t Lauren’s first time on a dating show! The seasoned reality TV contestant previously appeared on Season 28 of The Bachelor, where she competed for Joey Graziadei‘s heart alongside her sister, Alison. The two sisters are extremely close, and we’re not sure how they could handle dating the same person.

Fun fact: Lauren is actually the most popular name to appear on The Bachelor across its 20+ seasons. However, her own journey on the show was short-lived. She chose to leave in Week 2, while her sister Allison was eliminated in Week 4.

Do Harry and Lauren get married?

Unfortunately, Lauren’s time on Let’s Marry Harry was just as short as her time on The Bachelor. She is eliminated in the first round, and Harry doesn’t choose to sacrifice another contestant to save her. Maybe Georgia heard that comment about exes.

Lauren doesn’t seem too fazed by the decision, and given how little one-on-one time she and Harry shared, it’s perhaps not the biggest shock. But could this reality TV veteran be back on our screens again soon? Love Island? Married at First Sight? We’ll just have to wait and see.
