THE BACHELORETTE - (ABC/STEVE FENN) Pictured: ALI FEDOTOWSKY

However, it is a bit more commonplace now since she’s appeared on both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.

She knew people were going to judge her decisions too - and they have. But, Fedotowsky never let anyone else’s opinion sway her and instead listened carefully to her own heart.
