Say the name Trista Rehn to any Bachelor franchise fan, and there's no doubt they'll know exactly who you're taking about. And considering the sheer popularity of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and the franchise's other spin-off shows, it's safe to say even non-fans still recognize Trista as the very first Bachelorette to grace ABC.
However, despite being a bonafide star amongst connoisseurs of reality television, Trista doesn't consider herself a star. Of course, this has become increasingly more confusing for her children with husband Ryan Sutter — Blakesley and Maxwell — as the youngsters have gradually come to realize that Trista's not like a regular mom (and Ryan's not like a regular dad).
"I remember Blakesley, one time, she was like, 'Are we famous?'" Ryan said in a July 2020 interview with Good Morning America, as Trista laughed at the idea (via People). He continued, saying, "And you're trying to explain to her that people know who you are, but we're not really famous." Well, guys, you're still stars in our eyes!
