Kaitlin Reagan caught America’s attention in 2019 when she became one of the finalists on the first relaunched series of Fox TV’s Paradise Hotel, a reality show where a group of singles compete to stay in a hotel, pairing off into couples every week to share rooms. Having paired up with Carlos Garcia, Reagan finished runner-up on the show.

Since the leaving the show, however, Reagan has found success a social media personality and influencer on the likes of Instagram. She has a particularly large audience on the TikTok app, with nearly 2 million users following her and her content generating over 50 million likes. Her success as a reality star has allowed her entrepreneurial streak to come to the fore, and she uses her social media power to collaborate with online store Fashion Nova and share her experiences of major events such as New York Fashion Week. She also lists herself as CEO of Francesco (a cheeky reference to her boyfriend, Francesco LoPresti) and frequently shares videos, quotes, and photos helping to motivate and empower others.

Reagan hails from Brooklyn, New York. As a child, she took a particularly keen interest in acting and dance and has been performing in those areas since she was 12 years old, winning several awards. Paradise Hotel, the show that gave her her big break, first aired in the early 2000s on Fox and was successfully revived in 2019, with designer and actor Kristin Cavallari hosting. The new series was the perfect fit for the modern TV landscape and regularly won millions of viewers, bringing Reagan’s talent and charm to a captivated audience.
