Bri Springs was described as the perfect mix of beauty and brains by Chris Harrison before Season 25 of 'The Bachelor' started. This 24-year-old communications major from San Francisco has displayed that she has a solid head on her shoulders and her upbringing could be accredited for the same. Her official bio on ABC states that she was raised by her mother and grandmother who made countless sacrifices for her successful life. Bri scored the very first one-on-one date with Matt James this season and she opened up about how she grew up without a father and constantly battled questions about where he was and why was he not present when she crossed important milestones while growing up. Her story is the same as Matt. He too was raised by Patty James singlehandedly, and the two instantly bonded over being raised by single mothers. We already told you who Patty James is and here we tell you about Bri's mother Lauren Stoppelbein. 

Who is Bri Springs's mother?

Lauren Stoppelbein was born in San Antonio. She works as an Aesthetic Practice Manager with experience in plastic surgery and dermatology, according to her LinkedIn. She works at Krauss Dermatology in Massachusetts currently. This is her second job and before that she was a practice manager working with Dr Jeffrey Spiegel where she was introduced to advanced facial aesthetics. 

Lauren's Instagram handle is @lalabri. Her account is private but there are a couple of photos of her with Bri on the latter's feed and the two look more like siblings than a mother-daughter duo. Lauren's bio on the app states she is a "feminist" and that she's "raising feminists" and there's not a doubt that Bri inherited her sensibility from her mom. 



 

Lauren is Persian and Bri is extremely proud that she's got her looks from her mom and opened up about how lucky she was in this regard, in the caption of one of the photos she shared on her feed. "The older I get I look more like my mother I’m so thankful for that," she wrote sharing a beautiful photograph in an animal print dress. 



 

Apart from her mother, Bri also has an uncle named Robert Stoppelbein aka Sweet Bobby who is a self-proclaimed actor who lives in Beverly Hills and worked as Vice President at CNI Problems Solvers. 

'The Bachelor' airs on Mondays at 8 pm ET on ABC.
