Laura Owens to tell her side in Peacock docuseries on ‘Bachelor’ fake pregnancy scheme

The case of a Scottsdale woman who faked pregnancies involving former “Bachelor” star Clayton Echard is headed to streaming.

Peacock has ordered “Love Trapped: The Case of Laura Owens,” a four-part documentary series slated to premiere in 2027. The series’ namesake podcast ends its first season Thursday.

The announcement boasts access to Echard, his legal team, Owens’ mother, other men Owens targeted and Owens herself.

“For the first time, Owens shares her own perspective on what transpired,” read a news release in Variety.

Owens was sentenced Oct. 23 to one month in jail and several years of probation. In August, she pleaded guilty to four felonies: two counts of fraudulent schemes and artifices, one count of perjury and one count of taking the identity of another.

How the Laura Owens fake pregnancy case against Clayton Echard ended

She originally faced 14 felony counts in two cases.

Prosecutors first accused her of faking a pregnancy and suing Echard for child support, then charged her in a second fake pregnancy case involving another man. The remaining 10 counts were dismissed under her plea deal.

Owens claimed in 2023 that a brief encounter with Echard left her pregnant with twins. A family court ruled in June 2024 that Echard did not get her pregnant.

At her sentencing, Echard argued that Owens deserved prison time.

“She’s sorry she got caught,” he said in a victim impact statement.

The docuseries is produced by Glass Entertainment Group and directed by Keayr Braxton.
