Who Is Sydney Hightower, The 'Bachelor' Contestant With The Hannah Brown Connection?

Youd think this would have come up right away but, nope. That hasnt been the case at all. Sydney was actually classmates with Hannah at Tuscaloosa County High School and they were even in the same class of 13, according to the Tuscaloosa News . Hannah was also VP of her class and homecoming queen, so its kinda unlikely that Sydney didnt at least know of her (and maybe vice versa).

This isnt a huge secret, though: Chris Harrison mentioned it when he revealed this seasons contestants and Sydney posted the video on Instagram. Still, its kind of weird .

They both went to the University of Alabama after graduating high school, per the Tuscaloosa News. This one is less weird (more than 38,000 people go to UA, after all), but still. Theres definitely a solid Hannah B connection going on here.

Sydney laid it all out there in her Bachelor bio , noting that her last breakup really crushed her. She was planning on moving in with her boyfriend of two years because she thought he was one. But at the last minute, he told Sydney she was not the one for him and broke it off with her, it says. Dang, that sucks.
