Who is Rianna Hockaday?

Rianna is a 27-year-old registered nurse who works in the Pediatric Cardiovascular ICU. She currently resides in Dallas. According to her bio on ABC, she has a big personality and loves to two-step, hunt, and horseback ride. She also claims to be a fan of 'Naked & Afraid', and is extremely competitive when it comes to playing Monopoly. Just like most of us, Rianna hates doing laundry as well. 

After focussing on her education and career for many years, the 27-year-old is finally ready to dip her foot into the love pond. She is looking for a man who is family-oriented, outgoing and loyal. He must love to travel and bonus points for a man who loves hiking as much as she does. She is also clear about the traits that she doesn't want in her partner. She revealed that she isn't interested in a man who would want to change her, as she loves who she is and believes that she will know when she meets her soulmate, as he too would feel the same way about her. 

Rianna appears to be very close to her grandparents and her adorable pup named Pudge after the legendary baseball player. We can't wait to watch Rianna on 'The Bachelor' and learn more about her.

'The Bachelor' Season 26 premieres on January 3, 2022, on ABC.
