The Bachelor’s Maria Georgas is truly the moment. In the process of trying to win Joey Graziadei’s heart, Maria instead won the hearts of America. From her stylish wardrobe to her confidence and aura, keep reading to find out why the internet is obsessed with Maria — and why she declined to be the next Bachelorette!
Where Is Maria Georgas From?
When Maria made her entrance on The Bachelor, she handed Joey a small Canadian flag. However, due to the Canadian government’s official rule, the national symbol was blurred.
Nonetheless, Joey asked Maria if she still lives there and she confirmed that she did but joked, “I can change that” — in true Maria fashion.
What Does Maria Georgas Do for a Living?
Maria isn’t shy in front of the camera most likely because she isn’t new to the industry! In 2005, she acted in the film, The Pacifier, alongside Vin Diesel. Aside from her acting stint, her ABC bio reveals that she is currently an executive assistant.
Fun fact! Maria’s father, Nick Georga, has been the president of Jubilee Candy since 2009. ICYDK, the corporation specializes in cake decorations, like producing sprinkles and even candy-coated chocolate chips.
Why Is Everyone Obsessed with Maria Georgas?
The Bachelor contestant first caught the attention of social media users thanks to her impressive wardrobe. When Maria first exited the limo, she wore a stunning dress by Ema Savahl Couture. Dresses from the designer can range from $1800 to $5000 — definitely one way to make an entrance!
Throughout the show, Maria used her impeccable style to her advantage. During one episode, the 29-year-old was mid-conversation with Joey, when she said she needed to change into something more comfortable.
When Maria returned, she opted for a lace two piece set featuring a maxi skirt and bra top — umm iconic!
TikTok users have flooded the platform to share their opinions on her extensive wardrobe and outfit changes. One commenter wrote “she PACKED that suitcase and she is serving,” while another shared, “I love her so much!! the outfits, she came to serve.”
Not only is her style undeniable, but so is her confidence and It-Girl aura — and fans can’t get enough.
Why Did Maria Decline to Be the Next Bachelorette?
“I was offered the role,” Maria revealed on the May 1 episode of “Call Her Daddy” podcast. “I mean, it was mine until I said it wasn’t. And yeah, it became very overwhelming to the point where I had to decline.”
The reality star even said the casting decision was so “set in stone” that she had even done fittings. However, it was then announced that Jenn Tran was announced as the lead of season 21 of The Bachelorette.
So what changed? Ultimately, Maria revealed she just wasn’t her time.
“She was one of my closest girls in the house, and she was always verbalizing how badly she wanted this,” she explained. “And when everyone around me was so supportive of me being in this position and everyone wanted this for me, I kind of took a second and was like, ‘Why am I not happy? Why am I not excited about this?’ And it took me realizing that it’s just not my time, where I was like, ‘Guys, respectfully, I need to decline. I need to take a step back.'”
