‘Bachelor’ Alum Jake Pavelka Hints He’s Finally Found ‘The One’
Controversial Bachelor alum Jake Pavelka revealed that he’s off the market. He thinks he’s finally found ‘the one’ and hinted at an engagement. Keep reading for more details.
Controversial Bachelor Season
Bachelor Nation viewers first met Jake Pavelka as a contestant on Season 5 of The Bachelorette. Jillian Harris sent him home in Week 6, but he didn’t lose hope of finding love on reality TV. He was named the Season 14 Bachelor.
Viewers watched as his connection with Vienna Girardi grew, despite her ‘mean girl’ behavior toward the other women. It was a huge blow to fans when he proposed to Vienna at the end of the season. But their relationship was messy and ended after less than a year.
They had an explosive argument during an interview with Chris Harrison. At one point, Jake screamed “Please stop interrupting me!!” which caused Vienna to dissolve into tears and walk off the set.
Jake Pavelka Hints He’s Finally Found ‘The One’
Jake Pavelka joined Ben Higgins and Ashley Iaconetti on the Almost Famous podcast. He shared a surprising update on his love life. He revealed he’s been dating a woman since January that he met on the dating app Bumble.
“We matched in, like, the 15 minutes I turned it on, I said, ‘I’m not looking for a long-distance relationship’ and she said something kind of fun, like, ‘Well, you couldn’t handle it anyway.’ I was like, ‘Oh, OK.’ This is probably the girl. She’s so wonderful.”
Could a proposal be coming soon?
Bachelor Nation Fans React
A lot has changed in the nearly 15 years since Jake’s Bachelor season aired. While he was a fan-favorite back then, viewers are more aware of spotting red flags. And the former pilot’s interactions with Vienna were full of red flags. Check out some of the reactions on Reddit to his new relationship:
- “He gives me Armie Hammer vibes😬 “
- “He was real creepy. Seeing the “After the final rose” show (or whatever it was called back then), is hard to unsee. He came up as super creepy and like he had mental issues the way he had those angry outbursts. He’s lucky that didn’t happen nowadays or he would have gone viral for all the wrong reasons.”
- “this made me laugh lol this guy gives off the most narcissistic, cheater fboy vibes always”
- “Yikesadoodle”
- “I hope he’s changed but he seems like a douche.”
- “I will never forget the ATFR where he was so verbally and emotionally abusive to Vienna. The guy gives me the creeps!”
- “The OG red flag bachelor LOL will never forget that ultimate cringe sit down they had with Chris Harrison 💀 “STOP INTERRUPTING ME!!!””
- “Too old to be sharing details of his love life or lack thereof. Probably angling to be the next golden bachelor.”
