Former Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky Manno Shared The Moment Her Kids Learned She Was On Reality TV, And I Love How They Still Troll Their Dad Over It

When someone chooses to participate in a reality TV show to find romance, they might not initially consider the possibility of eventually having kids who would need to understand their past on the show. However, Ali Fedotowsky Manno, a well-known contestant from The Bachelor franchise who later led her own season, encountered this situation unexpectedly and has chosen to share it with fellow fans of the series (colloquially known as “Bachelor Nation”). Despite the cringeworthy awkwardness, it’s amusing to note that this predicament has become a private joke within their family.

Many people were bidding farewell to TikTok this weekend in anticipation of the social media ban, resulting in plenty of emotional trips down memory lane. Ali Fedotowsky Manno — who appears on the season of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test currently airing on the 2025 TV schedule — joined in the trend by reliving the moment her son happened upon a photo of her and ex-fiancé Roberto Martinez. She shared on Instagram:

As a movie buff, I can’t help but feel thrilled when I see the enthusiasm Riley, his mom Ali Fedotowsky Manno’s son, exhibited upon discovering an online photo of his mom. It’s understandable that images of her and Roberto Martinez would be among the top search results, given their past relationship, despite being less than ideal for the ex-Bachelorette.

Although Kevin Manno playfully unplugged Alexa, causing Riley’s annoyance, Ali Manno confessed that her reality TV engagement is now a source of humor among her children and her spouse. In the description of her post, she mentions this fact.

Even though my little ones are always teasing their old man by asking Alexa to display images of ‘Ali and Roberto’ (ha-ha), I’m grateful that [Kevin Manno] possesses an excellent sense of humor too! (ha-ha)

It’s quite a bold action by the children, but it seems that Ali Manno’s spouse is fine with it, as he ultimately ended up with the woman. They have been a married pair since 2017.

Ali Fedotowsky Manno made a comeback in the reality TV world by participating in Fox’s survival series, Special Forces, which can be streamed with a Hulu subscription. Unfortunately, she was among several celebrities eliminated from the competition due to a finger injury she sustained during a challenge.

For enthusiasts of “The Bachelor”, it was a particularly disheartening sequence of events. Shortly after her departure, Trista Sutter also chose to step back, effectively concluding the reign of success that the dating franchise had enjoyed from past seasons.

Which one caused the most discomfort for Ali: her finger injury, discovering photos of her ex-fiancé that her son found, or feeling embarrassed by Ellen DeGeneres on her well-known talk show?

To find out which celebrities survive through the challenges of ‘Special Forces’, don’t forget to catch new episodes every Wednesday at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Fox.
