Andi Dorfman, the 36-year-old former Bachelorette star, has finally found her happily ever after with Blaine Hart. Dorfman, who has a net worth of around $300,000, has no children yet but shares her life with Hart, a commercial real estate professional. Their story is one of rekindled romance and lasting love.
Reality TV Star
Dorfman first appeared on season 18 of The Bachelor in 2014. She famously dumped Juan Pablo Galavis during the fantasy suite dates, which led to her becoming the season 10 Bachelorette. During her season, she chose Josh Murray over runner-up Nick Viall. However, the engagement didn’t last long. Five months after the finale aired, Dorfman confirmed their split in an emotional interview with Chris Harrison in February 2015. She later accused Murray of being emotionally abusive in her first book, “It’s Not Okay,” allegations which Murray denied.
Life After The Bachelor
Following her breakup, Dorfman detailed her dating adventures in her second book, “Single State of Mind,” which chronicled her experiences dating in New York City. While she kept the identities of her suitors private, she often hinted at the ups and downs of her romantic life. Her candid and humorous recounting of dating life resonated with many readers, offering a glimpse into her post-reality TV journey.
A New Relationship
In the fall of 2021, Dorfman began hinting at a serious relationship. She teased her fans on social media, but it wasn’t until December 2021 that she revealed the identity of her new beau, Blaine Hart. Their relationship quickly became the talk of the town.
“I’ve always, obviously, been kind of coy with relationships having done the show and had that exposure and it just being a big deal kind of blowing up in my face, so I’ve been pretty coy about it,” Dorfman told Us Weekly in February 2022. “I just met someone that I wanted everyone to know about. It sounds cliché, but [I wanted to] shout from the rooftops. I was like, ‘I want everyone to know how happy I am in love and I think the response is great because I didn’t know what the response would be.’”
Rekindling Old Flames
Dorfman and Hart initially met 15 years prior through a mutual friend. They reconnected in Italy during the summer of 2021. “He was kind of hitting me up a little bit. And then we were both in Italy,” Dorfman recalled. “He was there for a wedding, I was there with some friends over the summer, and he basically said, ‘I want to take you out for drinks,’ and I said, ‘Well, I’m in Italy, maybe next time,’ and he said, ‘No, I’m in Italy and I’m coming to see you and taking you out for drinks,’ and then been together ever since!” She had “no expectations” from the Italy meet-up, but when she saw Hart, she was immediately struck by his charm.
A Magical Proposal
In March 2022, Hart proposed to Dorfman on a beach in Los Angeles. “I don’t even remember what he said, I just remember hugging him and crying. I didn’t even remember seeing the ring at first,” Dorfman gushed to People. Hart had asked for her parents’ permission before proposing and planned a surprise celebration with their families and closest friends. “And then after, the best part was, he told me instead of dinner we were going to stay the night at Hotel Bel-Air. So, we drove home to pack a bag and when I opened the door to our home, both of our families and my closest friends were there to surprise me. That’s when I really started bawling. My nephew and niece were there and came running up to us. It was adorable. And turns out, Blaine had been planning with our families and my friends for a month to get it all organized and I had absolutely no clue!”
A Dream Wedding
Dorfman and Hart tied the knot in Italy in May 2023, in a beautiful ceremony attended by family and friends, including Bachelor Nation’s Tayshia Adams, Hannah Ann Sluss, Nikki Ferrell, and Amanda Stanton. The picturesque setting and intimate gathering made their wedding a truly special occasion.
Enjoying Married Life
Since their wedding, Dorfman and Hart have been enjoying their married life, often sharing glimpses of their happiness on social media. Dorfman, who had previously been cautious about publicizing her relationships, now feels confident and proud to share her joy with the world. Their posts reflect a life filled with love, adventure, and mutual support.
