Not only did she make a lasting impression on Zach but also on Bachelor Nation as she even comes from a famous family and has been on set with celebrities like Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus.

Now one of Christina’s pals is revealing details about what the model and actress are really like.

“She is the most humble person. She’s such a delight,” a friend told The US Sun.

“She’s a great mother. She’s very passionate about her daughter, Blakely.”

The friend went on to say that she “loves modeling” and “any kind of acting job.”

FAMILIAR FACE

Daughter of Irlene Mandrell and niece of country singer Barbara Mandrell, she starred in Becoming Jesse Tate, the sci-fi thriller After Darkness and A Belle for Christmas.

She also appeared in Hannah Montana: The Movie, Taylor Swift’s Fifteen music video, Cole Swindell’s She Had Me At Heads Carolina music video, and Restless Roads Hometown Tonight music video.

Additionally, the 5’7″ blonde is a model at Nashville’s The Block Agency and is one of the “top models” for Pink Lily, a women’s fashion boutique in Bowling Green, KY.

“She’s just so natural [in front of cameras]. It’s so easy for her. She gets into her little mood and depending on the outfit [she’s modeling]she just turns it on,” shared the insider who worked with her on the set.

Christina also brings “good vibes” and is “high on energy” when modeling for the fashion brand, which ships across the US.

The pal says it’s her personality that everyone is drawn to as she has the “sweetest soul”.

No wonder even Zach was impressed and gave her a rose during the premiere.

The insider added that it came as no surprise to learn that Christina is starring on The Bachelor.

“I mean it’s over [with her goals]. Whatever she sets her mind to, she’s going to get it,” the insider said.

“She’s very persistent … She gets what she wants and she goes after it.”

“LOVES THE HEADLIGHT”

When she’s not modeling or acting, Christina makes motherhood and her health a priority.

The Nashville native shares daughter Blakely, 5, with her ex Blake Dennis.

They married in May 2015 and she filed for divorce five years later in December 2020.

Her ex previously told The US Sun that he wasn’t surprised she was on the dating show either.

“It seems like Christina is doing a lot,” he said. “She definitely does [love being in the spotlight].

“Christina used to throw bachelorette parties when we were together.”

AN UNEXPECTED START

After the premiere on Monday evening, 20 candidates remain.

Greer Blitzer got a first impression at night.

The US Sun previously ran the story that she was slammed by Reddit users for making “racist” comments and defending a blackface photo.

On Tuesday, she took to her Instagram to apologize.

Greer wrote, “The journey to love is filled with lessons and those lessons are also made on our growth journey. In my past, I’ve made some uneducated, ignorant, and frankly false comments on my social media accounts.”

“I am deeply sorry for those I have hurt, particularly those within the Black community, not because these screenshots have surfaced, but because I have ever shared these harmful opinions. Time and age don’t excuse my actions, but that’s not a reflection of who I am today,” she continued.

Now the producers are “crawling” to save the show from the racism scandal and have the lowest premiere ratings ever.

A source told The US Sun: “Execs braced themselves for a low number of firsts, but it was even worse than they expected.

“If the numbers continue to drop, ABC will have no choice but to pull the plug at some point.”

The Bachelor airs Monday nights at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
