Lauren B., a 25-year-old technology salesperson from Dallas, TX, is hoping Arie will be "the one" and that he'll go racing into her heart.

The Bachelor's 22nd season starring the 36-year-old pro racing driver turned real estate agent is set to premiere Monday, January 1 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.

Arie is returning to the franchise after failing to find love with Emily Maynard on The Bachelorette's eighth edition back in 2012. He will have 29 beautiful and accomplished women to choose from.

Lauren works for Vonage as a business solutions sales executive, and she's been working for the company since February 2017. Could Lauren and Arie be a perfect match? What else do we know about her?
