‘The Bachelor’: Colton Underwood Reveals He’s ‘in Love’ With New Boyfriend

Colton Underwood has come a long way since his time on The Bachelor. After picking Cassie Randolph and going through a tumultuous breakup, where he was accused of harassing Randolph, he came out as gay. Since then, he has been embracing his newfound public identity and leaning into dating. Now, he has revealed that he has fallen in love with his new boyfriend.

Colton Underwood is in love

Not only is Underwood out now, but he has a new show on Netflix documenting his experience called Coming Out Colton. While discussing the new show with Us Weekly, he revealed that his partner, Jordan C. Brown, has already met his family.

“I’m happy, I’m in love and I’m in a good position,” he said. “Everything as far as that goes has been pretty smooth. What was so cool too was, like, after the show was over, I didn’t know what was really next. I knew that I was still coming out and I still am. So there’s still things to work through right now. … The friends that I have, the support group that I have has been so helpful and impactful.”

He told The New York Times that his family and Brown’s first meeting went smoothly. “The easiest way for me to say it is that it was like me bringing a girl home,” he said. “Like, nobody batted an eye.”

What will the show be about?

Despite Underwood being happy in his relationship, his reality show will not feature his dating life.

“I have been through that. I have done that,” he told Us Weekly. “Even going into the show, that was one of the conversations with the production company. … I’m not in a space right now to really, like, put myself out there like that. I had a lot of self-discovery to do.”

But if the show gets another season, Underwood isn’t necessarily ruling out featuring his love life in the future.

“I don’t want to speak in definitives right now because as I learned, I’m growing and I want to give myself space to really explore new things at the moment,” he said. “I’ve definitely drawn boundaries on that. Having a public relationship, for me, was not healthy. I just think right now I’m really sort of protecting and guarding what I have.”

What has life been like for Colton Underwood since he came out?

Underwood came out in an interview on Good Morning America in April. In the interview, he revealed that he had been running from being gay for a while but was finally accepting himself. Since coming out, his friends and family have been supportive.

“I have the most support that I’ve ever had in my life, whether it’s my friends or my family,” he told Us Weekly. “I have amazing new friends. I have the most diverse group of friends that I’ve ever had in my life, and then also, I have my family. … They have put in so much work just to educate themselves, to ask thoughtful and meaningful questions to me and really put the work in with my friends.”
