Her ABC bio lists her hobbies as “painting, hiking, and being by the ocean.”

Lea, 23, is also an avid musician. She shared on her Instagram that she can “play the flute, ukulele, guitar, piano.”

Joey Graziadei Has Already Met Her

If Lea looks familiar to you, it’s because you’ve already met her. So has Joey. The Season 28 contestant made an appearance on Charity Lawson’s After The Final Rose special.

She told Joey that she was “really excited” about the upcoming season. When asked his impression of Lea, Joey said, “Obviously beautiful. But just the fact that you can be here with so much poise says a lot…I’m excited.”

In an intriguing twist, Bachelor host Jesse Palmer presented Lea with a letter with strict instructions. He told her not to open it until arriving at the mansion.

He did give a clue what was in the letter. Jesse told her that it wasn’t a coveted date card, but it was something to help her during the show.

“And it will absolutely change everything,” he teased.

What Happens To The Letter?

Joey’s season hasn’t even started yet, but the contents of the letter have already leaked. According to spoiler guru Reality Steve, the letter gives Lea the chance to steal a one-on-one date from another contestant.

Reality Steve also shared the scoop on whether Lea used it or not. She reportedly burned the letter, refusing the opportunity to take someone else’s date with Joey.

Instead, she wanted to get a date on her own merits, not steal it from someone else.

While the decision paid off for her that night, did it in the long run?

SPOILER ALERT

Joey gave Lea his first impression rose due to her selfless act. But Reality Steve reports that she never did get a one-on-one date before being eliminated several weeks into the season.

What would you do if you were in Lea’s shoes? Would you steal someone else’s date or wait for your own? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Don’t miss The Bachelor Season 28 premiere on Monday, January 22.
