Who Is Whitney Fransway? The Bachelor Alum and Social Media Influencer Joining Bravo’s “In the City”

Whitney Fransway is a reality TV veteran and one of the newest faces on Bravo’s highly anticipated Summer House spinoff In the City, premiering May 19, 2026.

A former model, social media influencer, and The Bachelor contestant, Whitney brings her romantic heart, adventurous spirit, and relatable transition story to the group as she relocates from Los Angeles to New York City for love.

Professional Background: From Pilates Instructor to Influencer

Born on June 6, 1991, in Minneapolis, Minnesota (raised in Eden Prairie and Chanhassen), Whitney graduated from Minnesota State University, Mankato, with a degree in Communications.

She moved to Los Angeles to pursue modeling and worked as a Pilates and yoga instructor while building her personal brand.

Whitney gained national attention as a contestant on Season 21 of The Bachelor (Nick Viall’s season) in 2017, where she was eliminated in week 6. She later appeared briefly on Bachelor in Paradise Season 6.

Over the years, she has worked as a content creator and influencer, collaborating with major brands including Dolce & Gabbana Fragrance and Fabletics. She previously ran a lifestyle website, Yours Truly Whitney, focused on wellness, beauty, travel, and style.

Personal Life: Big Move for Love with Kenny Martin

Whitney is currently in a relatively new but serious relationship with Kenny Martin, a self-made real estate investor and venture capitalist (and friend of Kyle Cooke, including as a Loverboy investor).

After dating for less than a year, Whitney made the bold decision to leave her life in Los Angeles and move across the country to New York City to live with Kenny.

Known as a romantic at heart who is willing to take big risks for love, Whitney is now adjusting to life in NYC while navigating the realities of cohabitation and differing relationship timelines with Kenny.

Kenny is described as a blunt truth-teller who isn’t afraid to challenge those closest to him, which is already creating interesting dynamics.

Whitney Fransway on “In the City”

Filmed in fall 2025, In the City follows Whitney and the rest of the group as they shift from Hamptons summers to year-round life in New York City.

Her storyline centers on the challenges and excitement of her big cross-country move, testing her fast-moving relationship with Kenny, and integrating into the tight-knit friend group.

Early indications suggest Whitney may second-guess aspects of her decision before getting engaged, adding tension and relatable “what did I just do?” moments that Bravo fans love. She is expected to bring fresh energy, influencer perspective, and romantic drama to the series.
