What was this bombshell? Well, it had to do with his sexuality. Turns out, he’s gay.

“For me, I’ve ran from myself for a long time and I’ve hated myself for a long time, and I’m gay. I came to terms with that that earlier this year and have been processing it,” Underwood told Roberts during the interview.

The next step in all of this was sort of letting people know. I’m still nervous, but it’s been a journey for sure. I’m emotional, but I’m emotional in such a good, happy positive way.”

He added: “I’m like the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever been in my life. That means the world to me.”

Why did he decide to come out of the closet now?

On Twitter, some Bachelor Nation fans note the timing of his sexuality bombshell is convenient. One follower notes that instead of talking about how he was a “crazy stalker” things have shifted.

There are also some Bachelor Nation fans’ reactions that ponder if Colton just came out of the closet for clout. We know he stepped out of the spotlight because of the drama with Cassie Randolph. But, was he getting thirsty for attention?

During the interview, Robin Roberts asked Colton Underwood what gave him the courage to come out of the closet.

I got into a place in my personal life that was dark and bad. I can list a bunch of different things, but they’d all be excuses. I think overall the reason why now is because I got to a place where I didn’t think I was ever going to share this. I would rather have died than say ‘I’m gay,’ and I think that was sort of my wake up call.”

Turns out, Colton Underwood reached a point where he would rather be dead over admitting his sexuality. This was his wake-up call. And, it gave him the strength to come out.
