The blurb on Harris in the Hello! Canada piece talks about her busy year, in which her and her fiancé Justin Pasutto had their first child.
“I had my first baby, and not only has he changed my life, but my relationship with Justin and our family as well,” she told Hello! Canada. “Now that there’s a baby around, everybody has pep in their step.”
Harris was born in Peace River, Alberta and spent a number of years in Vancouver before settling down in Kelowna.
She rose to fame as a contestant on season 13 of The Bachelor, in which she finished as the runner up.
After that, she was chosen to be the star of the fifth season of The Bachelorette, making history as the first Canadian bachelorette.
She chose Ed Swiderski as the winner of the season and the pair became engaged, but broke up in 2010.
The other two Okanagan connections on the list were Kelowna born Taylor Kitcsh and Vernon born Vasek Pospisil, both of whom moved to the Lower Mainland at early ages.
Kitsch is an actor who starred on the show Friday Night Lights, while Pospisil is the second-ranked tennis player in Canada behind Milos Raonic.
