Joey Graziadei‘s season of The Bachelor revived the long-running series. Bachelor Nation fans fell in love with Graziadei as he searched for love, ultimately finding it with Kelsey Anderson. With The Bachelorette set to return for Season 21 this summer with Jenn Tran, we’ve all been wondering about the status of The Bachelor Season 29.
The Bachelor has been a mainstay on ABC since 2002 and spawned several spinoffs, including Bachelor in Paradise and The Golden Bachelor. The show continues to be a ratings hit and social media powerhouse, so Season 29 has always been a sure thing. Now, the network has made it official.
Scroll down to find out the latest news about The Bachelor Season 29.
Will The Bachelor return for Season 29?
Yes, The Bachelor has been renewed for Season 29. ABC announced several renewals, including The Bachelor, on May 10.
Who will be the next Bachelor?
It’s going to take some time before we know who will be the star of The Bachelor Season 29. The next leading suitor of The Bachelor will likely be chosen from the next season of The Bachelorette, which is set to premiere on July 8.
However, the show could go back into the Bachelor Nation vault for Season 29. When TV Insider spoke with Tyler Cameron, fan favorite from Hannah Brown‘s season of The Bachelorette, he revealed that he hasn’t closed the door on possibly becoming the Bachelor in the future.
“I would never rule it out,” he said. “I think to be the Bachelor is a cool honor. I’m a big believer that life’s about the greatest story you can tell. One day I want to tell my grandkids, ‘I did this.’ And maybe if I do The Bachelor, it’s like, ‘Yeah, I met your mom on this show and there was 30 other women, but she was the one, son.’ I don’t know. I think it’d be cool one day, maybe. It’s not right now in my cards, but maybe one day.”
Are Joey & Kelsey still together?
Graziadei chose Anderson over Daisy Kent in the emotional Season 28 finale of The Bachelor. Graziadei proposed to Anderson on the beach in Tulum, and they are still very much in love today. Graziadei moved to New Orleans to be with Anderson, but they are planning to move to New York this year.
Graziadei spoke with TV Insider about how grateful he is for the show leading him to Anderson. “I’m just feeling like the luckiest guy in the world that I found my person, and I just can’t wait to see what’s next for us,” he gushed. The couple recently went on vacation with The Bachelor Season 27’s Zach Shallcross and Kaity Biggar and The Bachelorette Season 20’s Charity Lawson and Dotun Olubeko.
