Many of the cast members from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette have become stars in their own right, even becoming part of other television series. Thanks to this, many also have prominent followings on social media. Recently, one Bachelorette star took to social media to share some heartbreaking news: a tragic loss in the family.
One Bachelorette Alum Shared A Sad Update With Fans On Social Media
The Bachelorette is a spin-off of The Bachelor series, in which the series star tries to choose a husband among multiple bachelors. Premiering in 2003, nearly every “bachelorette” previously appeared as a contestant on the parent show.
With the show’s enduring popularity, many of the series’ alumni have become celebrities in their own right, with fans continuing to follow their lives on social media. Recently, a series star shared sad news in a recent post.
Ali Fedotowsky-Manno became known to Bachelor Nation fans after appearing as a contestant on Season 14 of The Bachelor. She later starred on the sixth season of The Bachelorette. Since then, the Williamstown, Massachusetts-native has established herself as a television personality, working with E! News and Home and Family.
Following the finale of The Bachelorette, Fedotowsky became engaged to Roberto Martinez. However, the two ended their relationship in 2010. In 2017, she married Kevin Manno.
Recently, Ali shared heartbreaking news with fans on social media: the passing of her dog, Owen. In a post, she shared a black-and-white photo of her beloved pet.

Ali wrote, “We said goodbye to our sweet boy today. We’re too shattered to say more right now. We love you so much, Owen. We will never be the same without you,” adding a heart emoji.
Back in March, The Bachelorette alum had given fans a health update concerning Owen. At the time, she shared he underwent various procedures, including tissue removal and radiation treatments. However, she also noted that he had a brain tumor “and always will.” She continued, “He’ll be on medication for the rest of his life to hopefully help manage his seizures.”
With her recent posts, fans continued to share words of condolences towards Ali in honor of Owen. A few fans had followed Ali on social media for years and have watched Owen with the family throughout this time. Some comments included:
