CHRIS SOULES of “The Bachelor” has handed out his final rose – and he’s already spirited the winning girl back home to Iowa! 

According to online “Bachelor” expert “Reality Steve,” the lucky winner is Whitney Bischoff. The beautiful blonde fertility nurse, 29, accepted the rose from Chris, 33, during a ceremony in the farmer’s hometown of Arlington last November.

But The National ENQUIRER has learned Whitney – who triumphed over 29 other lovelies vying for Chris’ heart – is hiding a family-cheating past!

“Whitney’s par ents divorced when she w as around two years old. There were is sues of infidelity in the marriage,” said an insider.

Her mother, Carol Singleton, died in 2005 due to complications from routine surgery. At the time, she’d been married and div orced twice.

Her father, Carl, lives outside of L ouisville, Ky. Whitney now lives in Chicago , but hails from Louisville. She sealed the deal with “Prince Farming” during a one-on-one date in Episode 7, sources said.

During the date, she met Chris’ best friends. Her love rivals, including early frontrunner Britt Nilsson, never did.

Back in October, “Reality Steve” posted photos and a video taken by fans who spott ed Chris and Whitney in Des Moines, Iowa. The couple reportedly dined at a café with Chris’ pals, and then checked out a mural depicting the pair which Chris had commissioned as a surprise for her.

A source said: “It was clear to everyone that Whitney and Chris had great chemistry together.

“She was ‘the one’ for him from the get-go!”

Whitney has even dropped hints that she won.

On her Twitter page she wrote: “Kentucky raised, Chicago livin, Wannabe Iowan.” The insider added: “Now that Whitney’s won Chris’ heart, it ’s going to be interesting to see how she adjusts from living in Chicago, one of America’s most populated cities, to a small farm town in the middle of nowhere.

“If she can make it a full year in Arlington, Iowa, then the relationship has a chance.”
