Dina Lupancu may not have won The Bachelor Grant Ellis’ heart, but she definitely stole the spotlight during the Women Tell All episode. Fans quickly spotted a change in the 32-year-old Chicago attorney. Social media sprang into action, hunting for clues about what was different.
At first glance, Dina’s glasses were the most obvious difference. But her transformation went beyond eyewear.
“She went from lawyer-looking to school-teacher-looking,” one fan commented.
“She looks younger with the glasses and the downplayed makeup.”
“I think she lost a little weight-her face looks skinnier.”
“I think she’s doing plastic surgery and collagen in her lips.”
Dina ditched her signature side part, opting for a sleek middle part, and toned down her makeup for a more natural look. Her fans were divided-some loved the transformation, while others were left scratching their heads.
While Dina has not addressed any cosmetic procedures, one thing is clear: she knew exactly how to get people talking.
The Bachelor: The Truth Behind Dina’s Canceled Hometown Date
Dina Lupancu’s Bachelor journey ended before hometowns. Now, she’s ready to explain why her family didn’t meet Grant Ellis.
In an exclusive chat with E! News, Dina shared that her family didn’t refuse to meet Grant. Instead, she made that choice on her own.
“My dad was all game, everyone was all good to go,” she explained. “We were happy about it.”
However, Dina’s mother felt uncomfortable being on camera and offered an alternative:
“She was like, ‘I’ll write a letter, and Dad can read it to Grant, and maybe we’ll FaceTime or something.’”
Instead of making an awkward compromise, Dina chose to skip the hometown date. She introduced Grant to her close friends instead.
The decision divided her family.
“The half that was supporting me were like, ‘We’re so pissed! We wanted to meet him!’” Dina admitted. “The other half was like, ‘Good. You should have come home, because that process was too fast.’”
In the end, Dina stood by her choice-but it may have cost her a deeper connection with Grant.
