The beauty told reporters during the ABC Upfronts that she’s 'very much engaged.'

She would name the guy or even drop a hint.

But she did say she was not settling. 'If I had a list he would check everything off,' added the ABC star.

Lindsay first competed on Nick Viall's 21st season of The Bachelor before being eliminated in his finale three.

She had told the 34-year-old she was in love with him. He is now engaged to Vanessa Grimaldi.

'Every morning I wake up and pinch myself,' she added.

'I want us to get the chance to get to know each other. Maybe it will be quick. Maybe it will be a longer engagement like Shawn [Booth] and Kaitlyn [Bristowe]. We just really want to get to know each other.'

This comes one day after her suitors were revealed.

Among this year's contestants is DeMario, 30, who may be at a bit of an advantage after first meeting Rachel on After The Final Rose, following her appearance on the last season of The Bachelor.

But according to a Facebook Live video featuring the hit show's host, Chris Harrison, 'Maybe he's not here for the right reasons.'

Another contestant who has a past with Rachel is Fred, 27.

Fred first met the 31-year-old lawyer when she was his summer camp counselor back when he was at school, and according to the show's 45-year-old host, he still carries a torch for her.

There's also Jonathan, 31, who describes his occupation as 'Tickle Monster' - despite actually working as a doctor.

Another contestant with a somewhat interesting occupation is Lucas, 30.

The handsome contender describes his occupation simply as 'whaboom.'

'It's hard to explain. It's a lifestyle. It's an essence. It's who he is. It's a noun, it's a verb. It's an adverb. You'll understand night one,' offered Chris.

'Some of you are going to love him, some of you are going to love to hate him, and some of you are just going to hate him.'

And while Kenny, 35, may have a tough exterior, Chris says, he 'probably cries more than anyone this season.'

The professional wrestler is also a dad to a little girl, and Chris describes him as 'a softy'.
