Emily, who appeared on Ben Higgins‘ season of The Bachelor with her sister Haley, made history as the first-ever identical twins to compete for the same lead. Higgins didn’t choose either sibling, and both went on to appear in seasons 3 and 4 of Bachelor in Paradise.

Following her stint on BiP season 3, Emily met Karlsson, a Swedish hockey player, and they tied the knot in 2020.
