Bachelor: What We Know About Sydney Hightower’s Fiance Fred Warner

Sydney Hightower from The Bachelor appeared on Peter Weber’s season and we are ready to share information about her NFL player fiancé, Fred Warner. Sydney just announced her engagement to him. The pair began dating in early 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the country. Since then, Sydney and Fred have been practically inseparable. This is evident due to the amount of Instagram pictures they have taken together in the past year. Fred came into Sydney’s life at the perfect time. She was fresh off a breakup that was filmed for reality TV.

Sydney met Fred after she competed on The Bachelor (Peter Weber was considered “perfect casting”) and had no idea that the show would lead her to her future husband. After dating for a couple of months, Sydney introduced Fred to her followers on social media. She did this in June 2020. by sharing a photo of the two holding hands while marching in a Black Lives Matter protest. Since then, fans have been so curious about the 26-year-old’s new man.

Fred Warner is a football linebacker who plays for the San Francisco 49ers in the NFL. Before he found success in his football career, Fred attended Mission Hills High School in California, where he was named to the All-California First Team. After high school, he was a four-star recruit and was soon signed to Brigham Young University in 2014. According to 49ers, the 24-year-old caught the attention of BYU coaches after a family friend sent his reel tape to them. He was later offered a scholarship (Matt James was also a football player). Fred played with BYU for three years until he was drafted to the 49ers in 2018. Before officially joining the team, Fred attended pre-draft visits and private workouts with multiple teams, such as the 49ers, the Denver Broncos, and the Buffalo Bills.

In 2018, Fred was selected in the third round as the 70th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft for the 49ers. He signed a four-year contract that’s reportedly worth millions, plus a lucrative signing bonus. Besides his successful career in the NFL, Fred also has a supportive family by his side. He was born to parents Laura and Fred Warner, who share six children. Fred’s younger brother Troy also plays professional football and is currently a defensive back for the Los Angeles Rams. In fact, he and his brother were roommates during their college days at BYU when Troy played cornerback for the Cougars.

Sydney (who’s slammed claims she lied about racism) went on The Bachelor to find love, but it turns out she found her person outside the show. Fred has a bustling career in football, and he is also a family man. Now that he and Sydney are engaged, the couple is about to embark on a new chapter of their lives together as husband and wife.
