Colton Underwood will be the one handing out roses come January, as ABC has tapped him to be The Bachelor‘s Season 23 suitor.
Season 23 of The Bachelor will debut at midseason on ABC, while Bachelor in Paradise‘s fifth season wraps Tuesday, Sept. 11, at 8/7c.
Underwood first appeared on Season 14 of The Bachelorette, where he competed for Becca Kufrin’s heart (and notably revealed to her that he is still a virgin).
“One thing I took pride in on both seasons was being true to who I am,” Underwood said on Tuesday’s Good Morning America broadcast, where the casting announcement was made.
