Today, it has been more than a decade since DeAnna Pappas made her iconic appearance on ABC’s ‘The Bachelor.’ She had been one of the 25 women vying for Brad Womack’s heart in the 11th season, which premiered on September 24, 2007. She made it to the final rose ceremony, but sadly did not win Brad’s heart in the very end.
Naturally, Deanna went on to find love in her own season a year later in the fourth season of ‘The Bachelorette,’ which premiered on July 7, 2008.
Though Deanna did not find her one true love on the romance series, she eventually did find and marry the love of her life, Stephen Stagliano, outside of the show. They married in 2011 and today, Deanna enjoys spending quality time with her husband and their two children, Austin Michael Stagliano and Addison Marie Stagliano, and blogging on her website. While marriage and motherhood have not been all flowers and daisies, she likes to keep it real with her fans on her personal blog and social media.
