Among the cast of In the City, known for their reality TV roots, stand Amanda Batula, Lindsay Hubbard, and Kyle Cooke. However, they aren’t the only ones with such a background. Whitney Fransway is the latest addition to the Summer House spinoff, joining as the partner of newcomer Kenny Martin. Like others before her, including Jasmine Goode from The Valley and Ashley Iaconetti from The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, Fransway transitions from Bachelor Nation to Bravo. Her prior experience in reality TV may well have emboldened her to confront Hubbard in the upcoming season of In the City, a moment teased in the series trailer.
But who exactly is Whitney Fransway, and what is her connection to The Bachelor? Here’s a closer look at her background.
Hailing from Minnesota, Whitney Fransway made a name for herself as a model and social media influencer long before her Bravo debut. According to her Bravo biography, she relocated from Los Angeles to New York City to live with her boyfriend, Kenny Martin, who is not only a close associate of Kyle Cooke but also an investor in the beverage brand, Loverboy.
Who is Whitney Fransway?
When the filming of In the City kicked off in September 2025, Fransway and Martin had been officially dating for six months, though their relationship unofficially spanned about a year. Describing herself as a “sucker for love,” Fransway has always envisioned herself as a future wife and mother, ambitions that led her to participate in The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise. Recent social media updates suggest that her relationship with Martin is thriving, hinting that Fransway may have finally found her perfect match.
At the time In the City began filming in September 2025, Fransway and Martin had been dating officially for six months (unofficially for about a year). Fransway described herself as a “sucker for love” who was always “meant to be a mom and a wife.” Hence why she was a contestant on The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise! Based on recent posts, it seems that the couple is still going strong, so perhaps Fransway’s desire to find her person has finally worked out for her!
What season of The Bachelor was Whitney Fransway on?
Fransway appeared on The Bachelor Season 21, which was led by none other than Nick Viall. Unfortunately, Fransway was eliminated in Week 6. The craziest part? The Valley star Jasmine Goode was also a contestant on that season, and she, too, was sent home during Week 6.
Fransway later appeared on Bachelor in Paradise Season 6. Per Bachelor Nation Wiki, she arrived in Week 5 but left almost immediately to pursue Connor Saeli, who, while feeling hopeless and alone, had chosen to leave minutes before she showed up to the beach. They ultimately broke up after two months of dating.
