LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Alexandra 'Lexi' Young is all set to find 'the one' in ABC's dating show 'The Bachelor' Season 28.

Lexi is a digital strategist by profession who hails from Atlanta, Georgia. At the moment, she is 30 years old. 

'The Bachelor' contestant suffers from endometriosis. She will be seen sharing her journey with endometriosis in the ABC's popular show. 

The 30-year-old recently spilled the beans on her endometriosis diagnosis on her Instagram page.

Lexi started by writing, "Hi! 👋🏼 If you’re new here, I’m Lexi and I have endometriosis. This diagnosis took countless doctors appointments and so many years of being told my pain and symptoms weren’t real."

She added, "For me, navigating this invisible chronic illness has meant endometriosis surgery, fears of potentially never being able to have children and burdening my friends and family, egg freezing, endless medications that make me feel like a shell of myself and more days than I can count of looking fine on the outside while feeling stabbing pain on the inside."

The Atlanta native continued, "I want to help shed light on the seasons of darkness endometriosis can bring by spreading awareness for those suffering from endo and other chronic illnesses, and continue the important conversations that need to be had around infertility. Tune in to #TheBachelor on January 22 to hear more about my experiences with endo and my journey to find love! 🌹💛."
