Lea is hoping to win Joey's heart after he had it broken by The Bachelorette's Season 20 star Charity Lawson.

Lea takes relationships and love very seriously, according to ABC, and she's never been interested in casual dating.

Lea says she's ready to be wifed up and is a sucker for big romantic gestures.

Fans will get to know Lea a little better when The Bachelor premieres its 28th season with a two-hour episode Monday, January 22 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.

But until then, let's learn some fun facts about The Bachelor bachelorette right now.

Below is a list of five facts Reality TV World has compiled about Lea Cayanan.

Lea got to meet Joey early on The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose

Lea introduced herself to Joey on The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose for Charity Lawson's season.

Joey thought that Lea was beautiful and sweet, and he was impressed by how she handled herself in front of all the cameras and a screaming audience -- with maturity and grace.

As The Bachelor viewers may recall, The Bachelor franchise host Jesse Palmer gave Lea an envelope with a card inside that she wasn't allowed to open until Night 1 of filming.

"I don't know [what was in the card]. It threw me for a loop," Joey said during a late 2023 appearance on the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast.

"I like that they are trying to change things up, I really do. But I was like, 'What are we doing with the card? What does this mean?'"
