This contestant is the one and only Samantha Washington, a cheerleader for the Miami Dolphins who will be heading from Hard Rock Stadium to the Bachelor Mansion to try her luck at love with Joey Graziadei. With the tennis professional itting to ABC that the definition of his perfect match (no pun intended) is a woman who is “outgoing, caring, and shares his love for adventure and exploring the outdoors,” Samantha might just fit the bill based on her official biography for The Bachelor season 28…

Keep scrolling to find out everything you need to know about Samantha Washington ahead of the premiere of season 28 of The Bachelor. Some of her fun facts might surprise you!


Born in Lincoln, Nebraska and currently residing in Miami, Florida, a majority of Samantha Washington’s time is dedicated to being a cheerleader for the Miami Dolphins, however, she is so much more than meets the eye. Aside from dancing on the sidelines with her beaming smile, Samantha was a pageant queen and a princess at Walt Disney World, primarily dres as Jasmine and Belle during her time at the theme park.

Her official biography for The Bachelor season 28 listed a few fun facts about the 25-year-old as well, revealing that Samantha sings in the shower, wants someone to take her on an airboat tour one day, and keeps peonies in her apartment at all times because they make her happy. She also itted to ABC that she enjoys spending time with her dog named Finley, as well as enjoying a slice of pizza pie at her family’s restaurant when she is not cheerleading.

To top it all off, Samantha is the daughter of retired Cleveland Browns, New York Jets, and Kansas City Chiefs safety Brian Washington. It looks like football runs in the family!

As far as a relationship goes, this princess is looking for her Prince Charming in real life, confirming that she is “ready to get engaged” and cannot wait to meet Joey.

To watch Samantha Washington fight for Joey Graziadei on your television screen, tune into ABC on January 22 to catch the premiere of season 28 of The Bachelor, or stream it the following day via Hulu.
