Vanessa Grimaldi is the name on everyone’s lips after winning Nick Viall’s heart and getting engaged to him on The Bachelor finale — but do you know everything about her?
The 29-year-old is a special education teacher from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and her newfound fame has already seen her starting to put her celebrity to good use — setting up a new charity called No Better You.
The charity aims to help and raise awareness of those with special needs.
She says on the website: “As a special education teacher, I aspire to empower my students and help raise awareness. Stay tuned & remember, there’s #NoBetterYou.”
Vanessa recently posted about the new venture on her socials, where she has seen her fan-base skyrocket while appearing on The Bachelor.

As the finale goes to air Vanessa now has 474,000 followers on her Instagram, compared to just 335,000 three weeks ago. She’s also got an extra 30,000 on Twitter.

Special education teacher, charity work, The Bachelor — you’d think Vanessa had enough on her plate. But this is a lady with a lot of strings to her bow, and she’s also worked as an actress in the past, appearing in several TV series and mini-series.
Hopefully we’ll see a lot more of her on our screens soon.

As well as French, Vanessa can also speak Italian — a country whose food has a big place in her heart. She is a big foodie — but always keeps herself in amazing shape by taking part in sports and working out.
The 5’3 1/2″ beauty loves fitness, and often posts pics of her at the gym on her Instagram.
