Courtney Robertson

Courtney Robertson is an American reality TV personality and author best known for winning season 16 of The Bachelor. Robertson spent her childhood in Arizona, and later pursued a career in modeling before rising to reality TV fame.

She rose to national fame in 2012 when she appeared on The Bachelor starring Ben Flajnik. Robertson emerged as the season’s most talked-about contestant and ultimately won the final rose, becoming engaged to Flajnik during the finale. Their on-again, off-again relationship frequently made headlines and ended later that year, keeping Robertson in the reality TV spotlight.

Following her time on the show, Robertson expanded her career beyond television. She authored the memoir I Didn’t Come Here to Make Friends: Confessions of a Reality TV Villain (2014), which became a New York Times bestseller and offered an inside look at the franchise and her experience on the series. She has since worked in lifestyle, wellness and podcasting spaces while remaining connected to Bachelor Nation.

Following her split with Flajnik, Robertson entered a relationship with Humberto Preciado. The couple welcomed their first child, son Joaquin, in 2020, before tying the knot later that year.
