Standing side-by-side, the women will be greeted by 32 men outside of the Bachelor Mansion during the premiere. According to ABC, the potential suitors arrive in “hopes of wooing the ladies with their charm, but they’ll soon realize it’s going to take more than dashing good looks and a memorable entrance to win the heart of one of these Bachelorettes.”
The 31-year-old became a fan favorite after her dramatic breakup with Clayton Echard on season 25 of “The Bachelor.” But, as the episode description promises, “Rachel and Gabby have put their breakups in the rearview and are ready to find their person … even if that means breaking all the rules on night one.”
So, who receives Windey’s first impression rose? Does she kiss anyone? Here is what you need to know:
Windey’s First Impression Rose Has Not Been Spoiled
Who will receive Windey’s first impression rose remains a mystery, but there are some important clues.
Every season, the Bachelorette hands out a first impression rose before the rose ceremony to someone who has made an early impact. The women in the franchise have a better track record than their male counterparts, with Us Weekly reporting most make it to the final four. The publication revealed eight of the previous recipients went on to be their season’s winner.
By that logic, it is likely Windey gives her rose to one of the men she eventually takes on Hometown Dates. In May 2022, Reality Steve reported that three of Windey’s final four men are Erich Schwer, Jason Alabaster and Johnny DePhillippo. He also wrote on Instagram, “not 100% sure but there’s circumstantial evidence that makes me believe she filmed a hometown 4/29 with Justin Budfuloski.”

Windey Does Kiss Someone on Night 1
At least one of the men vying for Windey’s heart will score a kiss on night one.
In a promo for the premiere, Recchia asks her co-lead, “Have you kissed anyone?” Windey responds with a nod.
“They’re all so different But you are, like attracted to different qualities in each person,” she says in the clip. The nurse added, “Now I kind of understand how you can have feelings for multiple people.”
