Until then, you’re likely wondering who is Rachel Nance on The Bachelor? And how long does Reality Steve see her sticking around in Season 28? Here’s everything you need to know about Rachel, including her age, Instagram profile, bio, and more.

“This ICU nurse has worked hard to achieve her professional goals, but she’s ready to find someone with whom to enjoy the journey of life,” the bio reads. “Rachel is immensely proud of her Hawaiian roots and hopes to bond over her love of Hawaiian food and culture with Joey. She comes from a big, tight-knit family and is really excited to start a family of her own. When it comes to relationships, Rachel is looking for an honest, gentle and supportive man with whom she can build a life. And when she’s not working at the hospital, Rachel loves watching Friends, reading Jane Austen books, and spending time with her loved ones. Rachel is totally wifey material. Let’s see if Joey thinks so too.”
