As season 23 of The Bachelor draws closer, we want all the dirt on our new leading man. Here are 10 essential facts about Colton Underwood.

It seems like ABC’s pick for the new Bachelor is controversial every year and new leading man Colton Underwood is no exception.

Devoted fans of the show will easily recall (and undoubtedly have an opinion) on Colton’s time spent dating Tia Booth on Bachelor in Paradise. The fan base seemed pretty split between those that thought Colton was a wounded former contestant who just needed time to heal after a dramatic split with Becca Kufrin and those who considered him a heartless player who strung Tia along.

Get excited about the new season and start rooting for a fairy tale love story. After all, there’s no chance that Colton can be as awful as last year’s Arie Luyendyk, right?
