She went looking for love on national television — and found it in the last place she expected. Best-selling author Madison Prewett Troutt first captured hearts as a finalist on Season 24 of ABC's The Bachelor, but her real love story started with a blind date she almost turned down. In this encore presentation, Madi sits down with nine-time Emmy winner David Sams just as she's stepping into life as a newlywed and releasing her book "The Love Everybody Wants."
A lot has changed since this conversation was first recorded — and it's exactly why we're bringing it back. Madi is now a mom! She and her husband, Grant Troutt, welcomed daughter Hosanna Rose in January 2025, after relocating from Texas to Nashville. And she's making headlines again, opening up in recent interviews about biblical submission in her marriage — sharing that submission doesn't mean a wife is weak, silenced, or unequal, but is rooted in mutual respect, trust, and a shared pursuit of the Lord, and that "when you love God the most, then you can love your spouse the best."
The foundation for all of it? You'll hear it right here. Before the husband, the baby girl, and the growing platform, Madi had to come to the realization that God's love is really all she needed. She shares the first date that had her calling her mom to say "I just met my husband," why a spouse is meant to compliment you rather than complete you, the dating red flags you can't afford to ignore, and how God can use every rejection and closed door to redirect you to something greater. Whether you're single, dating, engaged, married, or somewhere in between, this is the love story behind the love story — and proof that the love you're looking for already exists.
