Who is Shanae Ankney on ‘The Bachelor’ 2022 with Clayton Echard?
Shanae’s bio on the Bachelor Nation website tells us that she hails from Sycamore, Ohio. Clayton grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, and still calls the state home. If Shanae wins over Clayton’s heart, these two won’t have to finagle that many long-distance issues. They’re within driving distance of one another.
According to BachelorNation, “Shanae is a small-town girl with a HUGE personality. She describes herself as faithful, patient and lovable, and is here to find a man who can keep up with her in all facets of life. Shanae is looking for a man with confidence that won’t waste time playing games. She also values her independence, so while Shanae wants to build a life with someone, she also wants someone who encourages her to achieve the goals she has set for herself. Above all, Shanae wants to be able to be herself with a man who will honor and cherish her for the gem that she is.”
Shenae’s bio for The Bachelor 2022 also mentions that she’s a huge fan of Christmas and keeps her tree up all year long, and she’s “obsessed with zoos.” However, there’s one big turn-off for the Ohio native, and that’s any man who performs magic.
