As avid Bachelor fans (and contestants) would know, one of the keys to taking home the lead’s final rose—and a stunning Neil Lane engagement ring—at the end of the reality television series is to stand out among the other women.

With 25 gorgeous gals fighting for the heart of brand new Bachelor lead Grant Ellis, The Bachelor Season 29 is no exception…

Lucky for one lady, though—32-year-old Dina Lupancu—she’s got it in the bag.

Growing up with 10 siblings and having to stand out in the crowd her whole entire life, keep scrolling for a deep dive into Dina ahead of the highly-anticipated Bachelor premiere on January 27.

Dina Lupancu Is One Of 11 Siblings

Ahead of her Bachelor debut, Dina sat down with ABC to share some fun facts about herself, as well as a biography that takes a deep dive into her hobbies, interests and overall personality.

In said biography, one sentence left us with our jaws dropped, revealing that she grew up with 10 siblings:

Recently, she shared an Instagram reel highlighting some Christmas festivities with her family, featuring text that reads, “Merry Christmas from your favorite sisters.” In the video, Dina and five of her sisters are seen posing with her mother in front of a pine tree, all wearing matching Christmas pajamas—how sweet is that?

According to the Bachelor beauty, this is a family tradition, sharing a photo with her sisters—all wearing matching Christmas pajamas—in 2020, as well as a series of similar photos in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Everything You Need To Know About Dina

Aside from being family-oriented, Dina is also extremely accomplished in life, stemming from Willowbrook, Illinois and currently working as an attorney in the Windy City.

“Dina can accomplish anything she puts her mind to, and now, she’s set on finding her husband,” her Bachelor biography begins. It continues:

“While her career as an attorney has taken the front seat for most of her adult life, she’s finally ready to shift her focus and put her personal life first… Most of Dina’s best friends are either married or in a serious relationship, and she’s ready to join the club!”

“Dina likes to consider herself a little mysterious, but she’s ready to let her guard down if it means letting in a man like Grant,” her biography concluded, prior to transitioning to some fun facts:

• “Dina wishes she had more time to read for fun”
• “Dina has never met anyone who is cleaner and more organized than she is”
• “When asked what her favorite style of dance is, she says ‘Dina Dancing'”

Considering fellow Bachelor contestant Parisa Shifteh “relaxes by watching organization content on TikTok,” she might just give Dina a run for her money in the cleanliness and organization departments…

Host Jesse Palmer Says “Grant’s A Really Sweet Guy”

Including Dina, 25 women will be fighting for Grant’s heart on The Bachelor Season 29. Said women are as follows:

While each and every woman sounds like a serious catch, host Jesse Palmer admitted that Grant is just as spectacular in a recent interview with Parade. He gushed:

“Grant’s a really sweet guy and I think people got to know a lot about him during Jenn [Tran]’s season of The Bachelorette, but obviously a lot more will be revealed on his season. I’m a huge fan of Grant. He’s very deserving of this opportunity. He’s a guy that’s been successful in anything he’s done professionally in his life. I think the one big thing that’s been missing for him is love.”

Following this oh-so sweet statement, Jesse confirmed that the women will travel to more romantic destinations than ever before on The Bachelor Season 29, and that “people will be on the edge of their seats each and every single week” while watching at home.

Needless to say, we seriously cannot contain our excitement for everything the reality television series will entail this time around.

To see how Grant’s journey unfolds — and to see if he finds the Beyoncé to his Jay-Z — tune into The Bachelor Season 29 each and every Monday via ABC, with next-day streaming available via Hulu and Disney Plus.

Here’s to hoping he has a happier love story than former Bachelor lead Matt James. Yikes!
