‘Bachelorette’ Villain Luke Parker Shares Surprising Life Update & Status With Hannah Brown
Luke Parker remains one of the most notorious Bachelor Nation villains. Despite a strong initial connection, his relationship with Hannah Brown during The Bachelorette Season 15 soon spiraled out of control. She sent him home after he warned her not to have sex with other guys in the Fantasy Suites.
After his elimination, Parker shockingly showed up at a rose ceremony to try and win her back. Brown demanded that he leave, and her final three had to step in to back her up. Five years later, Parker is opening up about his life after the show and what his status is with Brown today.
Parker currently has a nine-month-old son, and his wife, Jennifer Parker, is 22 weeks pregnant with their second child. “I don’t know if you guys know it, but [my kids are] two months away from Irish twins,” Parker said on Ben Higgins and Ashley Iaconetti‘s Almost Famous podcast. “So if you have two children, whether it’s a boy or a girl that are within a year apart, then it’s considered considered Irish twins.”
His kids will be 14 months apart. Parker stressed that the second pregnancy was not planned.
The Season 15 alum’s life has changed drastically since he was on the ABC dating series. Parker addressed the infamous conversation where he told Hannah he would leave if she slept with any of the other contestants. As he looked back at that moment, Parker explained that he wouldn’t have handled things differently.
“To be completely honest, I thought I handled and navigated that conversation perfectly,” Parker said. “But 90 percent of what came out of my mouth did not air, and I can’t share it because I’m under contract. But I will say this, it did not pan out the way it showed. That’s all I want to say. I’ll say this just to be clean with the contract situation.”
Parker went on to note that he was sued by the production company behind the ABC series for breaching his contract. He claimed that he didn’t realize he was being sued because notices were sent to his old address.
“It took me several months to get in a healthy place with how I viewed this whole situation. I went on a terror and got on like dozens of podcast platforms and broke contract of sharing everything that happened behind the scenes, everything that was said to me,” he said. “I didn’t know that I would get sued. I think it was $20 or $25,000 per breach of contract was their rule of thumb.” He had to “get a very expensive lawyer” to help him “not pay them a penny.”
Parker revealed that he and Brown are not in contact today. “I don’t talk to Hannah currently,” he said. “I remember the first few years after the show, I was really hoping that she and I could reconnect. I reached out to her via DM, email, any platform you could think of. I’ve tried reaching out to her multiple times. And look, I’m not throwing shade or hating on her for not replying. If I were her, I probably wouldn’t reply either. I don’t even know if she saw any of them.”
The 31-year-old said that he wants the “absolute best” for Brown, who is set to marry Adam Woolard in July.
