Now, the former Bachelorette has vowed to never expose her stomach to the sun without sunscreen again and used her platform to educate fans about her diagnosis and what they can do to prevent it, like using sunscreen and being mindful of what products are used on the skin.

Fedotowsky makes sure that her kids are wearing sunscreen, too.

\"Sunscreen now is so important to me,\" she said. \"My kids never leave home without it.\"

Fedotowsky competed on 2010's \"The Bachelor,\" but left after receiving an ultimatum from Facebook, where she was employed. She returned as \"The Bachelorette\" later that year and became engaged to Roberto Martinez. They broke up a year later.

After meeting TV host Kevin Manno in 2013, the two became engaged and later wed in 2017. They have two kids together, Molly and Riley.
