Last week the newest Bachelor was announced and we’re here for it. Matt James will be the next star of the ABC show.
If you aren’t familiar with James, he was set to be a contestant on the next season of The Bachelorette.
āJames, a North Carolina native who played football at Wake Forest, had a short run in the NFL and now lives in New York City where he and Cameron run ABC Food Tours, an organization that offers kids from underserved communities the opportunity to explore the city through food, exercise and mental and physical wellness. He is the first Bachelor since 2008ā²s Matt Grant to be cast as the lead without having appeared as a contestant on The Bachelorette.ā THR said about James.
His roomie and good friend, Tyler Cameron, congratulated him on being named the next Bachelor.
