Stanton shares daughters Kinsley, 9, and Charlie, 7, with ex-husband Nick Buonfiglio, to whom she was married from 2012 to 2015. Following the divorce, Stanton appeared on The Bachelor in 2016 to compete for Ben Higgins's heart. (The 32-year-old Indiana native recently wed fiancée Jessica Clarke Higgins.)

Stanton then appeared on season 3 of Bachelor in Paradise that same year. She ended the show engaged to Josh Murray, though she later told PEOPLE in January 2017 the couple had split.
