Early life and education[edit]
Adams was born raised in Santa Ana, California by her parents Desmond and Rosario Adams.[7] Her father is African-American and her mother is Mexican; Adams identifies as biracial.[8][9] She has three siblings and was a Girl Scout for 12 years.[10] Adams graduated from Rosary Academy in 2008, and then from Concordia University Irvine in 2012 with a bachelor's degree in biology.[11][7] During her first week of college in 2008, she was run over by a truck, saying: "I had to relearn how to walk in the hospital and missed about two and a half, three months of school. After about two years, I finally got to the point where I could walk 'normally' and not have chronic pain when I sat down."[12] In 2011, Adams was hit by a distracted driver on the highway and she suffered from chronic pain for five years after the accident.[12] Adams credits physical therapy for her recovery.[13]
In addition to being a reality television personality, Adams is also a former phlebotomist.[4][14]

In October 2021, Adams launched a clothing collection with Amaryllis Apparel called "Amaryllis x Tayshia".[18][19] The collection consists of 17 pieces, including tops, skirts, jackets, jeans and blouses.[18] The collection was designed for "the girl on the go" and was priced between $39.99 and $149.99.[18] On March 8, 2022, she announced her partnership with athletics brand Asics.[20] In September 2022, Adams teamed up with Conair and Scünci and created a collection of hair accessories and tools sold at Walmart.[21] The collection called "Tayshia by Conair", consists of 33 hair accessories, five hair brushes and combs, five hair tools and one mirror.[21][22]

The Bachelor[edit]
Adams made her debut in The Bachelor franchise in 2019 when she appeared on Colton Underwood's season of The Bachelor. Adams was one of the final two contestants, alongside Hannah Godwin, both of whom were eliminated when Underwood decided to end the show to pursue Cassie Randolph.[36][37]
Bachelor in Paradise[edit]
After her elimination from The Bachelor, Adams appeared on season six of Bachelor in Paradise in August 2019,[38] where she started dating fellow contestant John Paul Jones. The two split in September 2019, prior to the show's finale.[39] After the finale, Adams and Jones rekindled their relationship when she traveled to Saint Michaels, Maryland, to "see if he would be willing to give their relationship another chance."[40] They dated for a few weeks before ending their relationship again in late October 2019.[39][41][42][43]
The Bachelorette[edit]
In 2020, Adams was chosen as the replacement for Clare Crawley on season 16 of The Bachelorette after Crawley's exit, making this the first American Bachelorette season to have its lead replaced.[44] In the season finale, Adams chose Zac Clark, an addiction specialist from New Jersey, over runner-up Ben Smith, and the couple became engaged to marry.[45]
