During an interview with People, the Fort Lauderdale native revealed the full details of her backstory. “I told Ben the story of my family, but I left out the biggest,” Jubilee began. “My three brothers and my parents died, but I don’t know the details. I was 6, but I don’t remember my parents. My 4-year-old little sister and I went to live with my grandmother, but she had leprosy and was dying and too sick to take care of us. So she put me and my little sister in an orphanage.”
She continued, “My dad came to Haiti to do relief work and he showed up to the orphanage and wanted to adopt me. He tried to adopt my sister, but after they went through the medical process, they found out she had an incurable disease and wasn’t able to be adopted.”
The reality star also revealed that before appearing on the dating series, she attempted to find her younger sister but was unsuccessful. “The person who did my adoption told me she was probably dead.” She added, “That’s where my guilt had come from.”
Jubilee also competed on two seasons of Bachelor in Paradise. She first appeared on season 3 of the show and was sent home after the first week. The reality star later returned for season 5 but quit during the third week.
