From Clayton’s Bachelor Season 26, Samantha Jeffries works as an occupational therapist and spends her free time brunching and going to EDM festivals.
Samantha is a vibrant go-getter with a glass-half-full attitude who brings energy and positivity wherever she goes. She loves brunching with friends, dancing the night away at EDM festivals, and curling up with her dog and a glass of white wine. While Samantha takes her career seriously, her ultimate priority is building a family, and she’s ready to find the right man to share that dream with.
Her ideal partner is outgoing, loyal, and supportive—a true equal who can enhance her life. One non-negotiable? He must know how to clean up after himself because Samantha is looking for a partner, not someone she has to parent.
Samantha isn’t afraid to put it all on the line in her pursuit of love, which was on full display during her time on Bachelor in Paradise. However, her journey took an unexpected twist when she faced a rather unique challenge—she couldn’t “go #2.” After days of discomfort, Samantha had to leave Paradise to, as she humorously put it, “have a poop baby.” With that chapter behind her, she’s ready for a fresh start and a love story that’s as real as it gets!
