Speaking on Good Morning America in March 2023, Charity revealed what she was looking for in a partner: “someone who is extremely kind and treats others well”, as well as someone who can make her laugh. Zach Shallcross eliminated Charity from The Bachelor during hometowns week, but he described it as the toughest decision he had to make on the show. Weeks later during the Bachelor season 27 special, it was announced that Charity would be the next Bachelorette, where she expressed excitement at the prospect of finding the love of her life.

Charity expressed her excitement at the prospect of showing little girls who look like her that being in a position like hers is possible. Her season of The Bachelorette promises to be exciting, as viewers will watch her navigate the ups and downs of finding compatibility with her suitors. Fans of the show will be eagerly awaiting the first episode of the new season, hoping to see whether Charity will find what she’s looking for.
