In a curveball that simultaneously surprised and relieved many Bachelor Nation sleuths, Clayton Echard was selected to lead Season 26 of The Bachelor.
If his name doesn’t sound familiar, that’s because he was a contestant on Michelle Young’s season, which is still airing. We haven’t gotten to know our new Bachelor very well just yet, but (spoiler) he won’t be winning Michelle’s heart this season.
“Clayton stood out right off the bat,” an insider explained to Us Weekly. “Producers ended up going with him because they believed he was the best fit for the role. They wanted to switch things up and go with someone new and someone who hasn’t been in the spotlight yet.”
He’s a medical sales rep from Columbia, Mo., and according to his Bachelorette bio, Clayton “wants to find something truly special and is willing to put in the hard work to find love that will last forever.”
The next season of The Bachelor is expected in January of 2022, but we don’t yet know what the exact release date is. The Bachelor Season 26 is expected to begin filming in the fall of 2021.
In the meantime, catch The Bachelorette Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
