Kylee Russell is mostly known for starring in The Bachelor, but she could have made her reality TV debut in the pods.
Season 6 is filled with a dynamic group of men and women, most of whom have never been featured on TV before.
They all got their chance at love and fame on the show after filling out an application or being reached out to personally by the casting department (which includes Season 4 alum Chelsea Griffin) to do so.
This season’s main location was Charlotte, North Carolina, which is where one iconic Bachelor alum in particular resides. Not only that, but apparently she was one second away from being a part of this season of LIB.
Is Kylee Russell from The Bachelor on Love Is Blind?
On February 29, a Bachelor fan took to Reddit and reposted an Instagram story from Kylee Russell. You might remember Kylee from her appearances in both The Bachelor Season 27 and Bachelor in Paradise Season 9.
When asked by a fan whether or not she was scouted to join Love Is Blind, the reality TV star not only confirmed that she was contacted but admitted why she didn’t go through with it.

“They had actually reached out to me, but I had just signed my Bachelor contract. Crazy how different life would be rn,” she wrote in the IG story.
Bachelor Nation hopped into the thread and shared that in most of their opinions, Kylee made the right call staying away from the show, for one reason alone.
One fan wrote, “The Bachelor you are at least guaranteed screen time. For Lib, you only get screen time if you are in a successful couple and producers choose to follow.”
Another fan chimed in and wrote, “LIB is kind of a crapshoot since only like 5 of each gender actually get screen time.”
