Matt was originally supposed to compete for Clare Crawley’s heart during her season of The Bachelorette, but ABC announced in June 2020 that Matt would be the star of The Bachelor season 25. Matt already has a strong connection to Bachelor Nation. The former football player’s best friend is Tyler Cameron, who came in second place on Hannah Brown’s season of The Bachelorette.
The North Carolina native went to Wake Forest University and majored in economics. He played college football and pursued the sport professionally. He now lives in New York City. He’s ready to start a new chapter in his love, one that includes falling in love and finding his soulmate. The Bachelor will air Mondays on ABC.
