For those who need a quick rewind, Holly Durst was a contestant on The Bachelor season 12 with Matt Grant. Sure, Holly didn’t win the final rose, but she did end up with The Bachelorette alum Blake Julian on Bachelor Pad 2. The fan-favorite couple got engaged in the finale. Holly accepted a dazzling ring, and soon enough, in 2012, added a new last name, Julian. After having struggled for years to have a baby, the Bachelor Nation couple did welcome a baby girl in 2019 and named her Poppy.
It’s wasn’t a cakewalk when Holly tried to find her true love on reality TV. However, just like Rachel Lindsay, Holly did find her happily ever after on the franchise. After being eliminated early on in The Bachelor by Matt, Holly got engaged to Michael Stagliano from The Bachelorette season 5, who also happened to be the twin brother of DeAnna Pappas’ husband, Stephen. While Michael wanted a double wedding with his twin, Holly, with her commitment issues, called the engagement off in 2010. Even though Michael and Holly later entered (and even won) the $250,000 Bachelor Pad 2 prize together, it was Blake who ultimately won her heart. In spite of having sent Blake home previously, Holly revealed they were engaged in the finale and got married soon after. While couples such as Becca Kufrin and Garrett Yrigoyen went kaput, Holly and Blake managed to stay strong. Still, struggles with infertility stayed with the Bachelor Pad twosome for seven years, until Poppy entered their life through adoption and made things perfect. Since then, Holly’s social media is nothing but a cute diary of Poppy Marie, Holly, and Blake’s family-time adventures. This couple isn't exactly a candidate for Marriage Boot Camp.
The Bachelor Pad icon Holly, who recently turned 38, has over 35.4k followers on Instagram. Here’s a screengrab of a Holly Julian Instagram post, that shows her enjoying a happy birthday at Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal.
Here’s a post from October 2019 where Holly poses with a month-year-old Poppy at her baby shower.
Being a new mommy does mean neglecting personal style. The Bachelor franchise’s Holly looks her glamorous best in this March 2020 post, which she says is the result of having “been in pajamas for 6 months straight.”
A Mother's Day memory that Holly will never forget is celebrated here in this IG post. She twirls away with her child, wearing the cutest pink striped dress.
While this picture is from Blake’s 37th birthday, most of the comments on Holly’s post are from Bachelor Nation, asking her where the dress is from.
It’s raining only fire emojis on this particular post of Holly’s. No points for guessing why.
Here’s The Bachelor darling Holly showing the world that pajamas can be glam!
Now, check out a fitting end to this cute collection of memories from the Durst-Julian household, complete with Holly, Blake, Poppy, and their dearest dog.
As you can see, Holly is doing just fine, and fans are so happy for her.
The Bachelor season 25 airs Mondays at 8 pm ET on ABC.
