Who Is Charity Lawson On ‘The Bachelor’? Meet Zach Shallcross’ Season 27 Contestant (2024)

When Zach Shallcross tested positive for COVID during The Bachelor Episode 5, not only was filming in London completely derailed, but he was forced to cancel his one-on-one date with contestant Charity Lawson.

Lawson was understandably crushed to miss out on that quality time with Shallcross in London, but the preview for the remainder of the season — which aired at the end of Episode 5 — shows the two eventually reuniting for their date, taking a horse and carriage ride down a cobblestone road, sharing some passionate smooches, and chatting over a romantic dinner. “I can say I am falling for you,” Lawson tells Shallcross in the preview. “You have a special way of making me feel really seen and chosen. I feel like I’m the only girl in this world right now,” she says later on. Though the two seem to build a strong connection as the weeks progress, the preview also shows Lawson shedding her fair share of tears, which makes us wonder how long she sticks around this season.

So who is Charity Lawson onThe Bachelor? And how many more Mondays we can expect to see her on our TV screens? Here’s everything we know about the Season 27 contestant and her Bachelor journey.

Who Is Charity Lawson onThe Bachelor? Meet Zach Shallcross’ Season 27 Contestant

Charity Lawson is a 26-year-old child and family therapist from Columbus, Georgia, who received her Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Auburn University in 2022. In her intro video, which aired on Night 1, Lawson told viewers that she loves her “rewarding” career and is “so ready for love.” She explained that she’s ready to find her life-long partner, get engaged at the end of the show, and start a life with someone who treats her right and can make her laugh. She also shared her “After The Final Rose” impressions of Shallcross with cameras, saying, “When Zach came out he was nervous, but it was cute. He was cute-nervous. I loved seeing that side of him.”

When Lawson stepped out of the limo on Night 1, she walked up to Shallcross and had a fairly boring intro. “My name is Charity and that also means ‘love,’ and I figured what better place to find love than here at the Bachelor mansion? And I could not be more excited that it’s you who’s the Bachelor,” she said. Since her first impression, Lawson has consistently stood out to Shallcross, so it will be interesting to see if she makes it to Hometown Dates.

If you’re eager to learn more about Lawson, her official Bachelor bio is as follows: “It’s easy to see what makes Charity such a great catch! With a smile that lights up the room, a great career and a sweet personality to match, Charity is the total package! The Georgia beauty takes her name as a call to love and care for people and has built her life on that purpose. Charity is a mental health therapist and is extremely passionate about helping people live their best lives. Now, she is ready to receive the love she gives to so many others! Charity hopes her future husband is honest, loyal and shares similar morals. She says she is really excited to meet Zach and thinks the two of them could be a perfect match on paper. Time will tell if they’re also a perfect match in person!”

And her three fun facts will give you emotional whiplash:

• Charity’s all-time favorite movie is The Notebook.
• Charity wants to move to Disney World one day.
• Charity throws a mean ax.
