Ever since the first rose was handed out in 2002, fans have had questions about how The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Bachelor in Paradise really work behind the scenes. Ahead of the release of her new memoir, The Love Producer, former Bachelor producer Julie LaPlaca sat down with Swooon to answer Bachelor Nation’s biggest burning questions.
Julie was a producer on The Bachelor from January 2014 to February 2021, serving as a date producer before moving on to be the lead producer in 2019 for Hannah Brown‘s season. Fans may recall Julie from Peter Weber‘s season, when the internet theorized that he would end up with his producer instead of a contestant. Don’t worry, she dives deep into that lore in her new memoir.
