From reality TV to real-life love: Bachelor in Paradise star helps Georgia find love

Lexi Young may have first captured America’s heart on Season 28 of The Bachelor, but now she’s using her rose-giving skills to help singles in Georgia find real love, without cell phones.

Following appearances on The Bachelor and now Bachelor in Paradise, Young saw a bigger problem in the dating world: people weren’t actually connecting anymore.

So, she launched In The Wild, an in-person dating experience designed to get singles off the apps and into real conversations.

Here's everything we know.

Young appeared on The Bachelor Season 28, where she opened up to Joey Graziadei about her battle with endometriosis.

She chose to self-eliminate after realizing she and Graziadei had different timelines for starting a family. Since then, she’s continued sharing her journey with stage 5 endo.

Lexi Young Bachelor in Paradise recap

Young is back in the reality TV spotlight on Season 10 of Bachelor in Paradise.

After the first week, she gave her rose to Justin Glaze (yes, from The Bachelorette Season 21). Their one-on-one date was rained out, but who knows what Paradise still has in store?

But off the beaches of Paradise, Young is making real waves in Atlanta with her new IRL dating concept.

Is Lexi Young from Georgia?

According to Decider, the 31-year-old digital strategist is based in Atlanta, Georgia, but she revealed to Graziadei that she’s originally from Toronto, Canada.

How does In the wild work?

The concept of this is in-person events for singles who are tired of dating apps and want to actually meet people.

"Lexi created In The Wild out of a desperate need to get single people off the dating apps and meeting in person," the website wrote. "We're so connected to our phones, we forgot how to have IRL conversations and meet-ups."

There is an event on Thursday, July 10, in Atlanta. So here's some things to know for how this works:

• Custom stickers to show what you are looking for

• Room full of single people

• Music

• Drinks

• Outdoor Patio

Here are some event guidelines:

• Ages 30 and up only

• All sales are final

• Photos or video may be captured for In The Wild content

• Limited tickets (once it’s sold out, it’s sold out)
