Though Bachelor in Paradise is currently airing The Bachelorette season 18 starring our leading lady Michelle Young is on its way to us very soon, Bachelor Nation’s minds are still wandering to the 26th season of the show that started it all, The Bachelor. We certainly don’t blame them as we don’t know much about the new season, but that may all change very soon.

There have been rumors swirling around about who the next Bachelor will be for season 26, and it’s looking like ABC has already found its lucky lad. Who is he and will we get to meet him soon? We tell you everything we know so far about The Bachelor season 26’s leading man right here.

Who is the next Bachelor for season 26?

US Weekly

says we will actually meet the next Bachelor on Michelle Young’s season of

The

Bachelorette

, as he’s originally a contestant from her season. You can see the full list of who will appear on Michelle’s season

here

.

Unfortunately, at the moment, we have not been given a name of this particular contestant and will most likely have to guess who it is even when

The Bachelorette

begins. However, it is said that more will be known about the individual closer to the October premiere of season 18.

The confirmation of this unknown fellow certainly puts to bed all the rumors about Greg Grippo potentially being the Bachelor of season 26. It’s probable that there were talks about Greg being the next in line, but it’s also probable that all the controversy surrounding his presence on The Bachelorette season 17 rubbed many the wrong way.

Chances are that if the producers of the series already gave this contestant the green light for The Bachelor before the airing of Michelle’s season, then it’s more than likely Bachelor Nation will absolutely adore this fellow!

We may have to wait a little longer before we know more about our upcoming leading man, but, thankfully, we have a lot of shows to keep us company until the premiere of The Bachelor season 26.

Be sure to watch new episodes of Bachelor in Paradise season 7 every Monday and Tuesday night, and also tune into the highly-anticipated season 18 premiere of The Bachelorette starring Michelle Young on Oct. 19 on ABC.
