‘The Bachelor’ was announced — and it’s already stirring up some controversy

Bachelor Nation has not seen the last of Colton Underwood. The former NFL football player is the face of The Bachelor Season 23.

Colton made his Bachelor Nation debut on Becca Kufrin’s season of The Bachelorette, in which he made it to the top four. He was most known for announcing he’s a virgin and dating Becca’s friend Tia Booth


Colton was on the latest season of Bachelor in Paradise where he dated Tia. The relationship came to a tumultuous end Monday when he decided to leave Paradise early. 

It was said there were a lot of names in the mix for this season of The Bachelor, including runner-up Blake Horstmann, Buffalo-born Jason Tartick and former Bachelor Ben Higgins. 

The decision to go with Colton has been met with some controversy. He was the center of drama everywhere he went. Colton’s redeeming quality is that he has a philanthropic side to him.
