Bachelor Nation believes ABC has found quite the catch for season 30 of The Bachelor.
Fans were pleasantly surprised to wake up on Friday, November 13, and learn that NFL quarterback Sam Hartman would be the new Bachelor when the reality show returns in 2027.
“When people are saying ‘I do,’ they don’t ask where you met,” Hartman, 27, shared on Good Morning America. “They just ask if you wanna do it forever. I don’t see any problem with that.”
The athlete played college football for both Wake Forest University and Notre Dame before signing with the Washington Commanders in 2024 as an undrafted free agent.
