Maria dropped jaws when she changed into a sexy, lace black outfit and bra during a group date.

Joey is clearly attracted to Maria, and he noted how there was something special about her and he couldn't help but kiss her and want to learn more about her. Maria challenges Joey and keeps him on his toes.

But Maria has found herself in the center of drama, facing off against Sydney Gordon, who has accused Maria of being a catty "bully" and manipulator. Sydney thought Maria was "a mean girl," but Maria felt she had done nothing wrong.

Allison Hollinger even claimed Maria was just "bold" and being herself, and Edwina Dorbor also insisted that Maria, although very "straightforward" with people, wasn't a bully at all and that Sydney was "blowing things out of proportion."

The tension left Joey feeling confused and unsure of whom to believe, but he decided to give both Maria and Sydney roses.

Will Joey be able to overlook the drama and keep Maria in the running for his heart, or will her problems with Sydney be her demise?

Until The Bachelor viewers find out what happens next between Maria and Joey, let's learn some information about Maria right now.

Below is a list of seven facts Reality TV World has compiled about The Bachelor bachelorette Maria Georgas.


Maria is a bold and outgoing woman

Maria isn't afraid to speak her mind and go for what her heart wants, according to ABC.

"That's when you know you've found someone special. When you can stfu for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence," Maria wrote on Instagram.

Maria is a black belt in Taekwondo karate and she has a love for a big plate of spaghetti -- al dente is her preferred way to have it cooked -- as well as horror movies.

The Bachelor bachelorette also loves dining out, drinking wine and hanging out with her friends.

Maria wants a man who can embrace her passions, and although Maria loves horror, she hopes Joey won't ghost her.


The Toronto-born bachelorette has a background in acting

Maria was once an actress. She acted in The Pacifier starring Vin Diesel in 2005, according to IMDb.

Maria has a very close relationship with her father

Maria appears to be family oriented.

When Maria's dad turned 60-years-old, she wrote on Instagram in June 2023, "The man, the myth, the legend. Happy Birthday pops. 60 never looked better. Love you!!! Enjoy Bahamas, don't go in shark infested waters."

And in 2019, Maria called her dad "the best man" in her life, adding, "Love you dad!!"


Maria believes she's a catch -- and so does Charity Lawson!

Maria told BachelorNation.com that she's a loyal woman with a big heart.

"When I love you, you'll get all of me," Maria says. "I want to take on life with you and be your biggest supporter. As long as you're good to me, believe I'll be good to you."

The Bachelorette Season 20 star Charity Lawson supported Maria in the comments section of Maria's January 31 Instagram post.

Maria wrote alongside photos -- both sexy and funny -- of herself, "Let me slip into something more comfortable."

And Charity commented, "It's giving main character, comedian, real, hot, yup I'm invested!"


Maria asks The Bachelor viewers to "stay positive and kind"

Maria recently wrote via Instagram Stories, "Emotions are high but please stay positive and kind to everyone involved."

Maria preaches kindness because she was bullied when she was younger. Maria knows how it feels to be bullied, and so she insists she'd never make another person feel that way.

Sydney, however, recently posted a video ranting about gaslighting, and it appeared to be aimed at Maria.
