‘The Bachelorette’ Season 22: Get Your First Look at Taylor Frankie Paul’s Men (PHOTOS)
These guys better get their dirty soda orders ready! On October 23, ABC released the first look at Taylor Frankie Paul‘s possible contenders for The Bachelorette Season 22, which will premiere in 2026.
Twenty-six dashing men were showcased, and we picked up some notable details. Two contenders are in their 40s (a rarity!), and the majority of the men are in their 30s. (Paul is 31.) Ahead of the season’s premiere, the number of men actually competing to win Paul’s heart will likely shrink by a few.
Paul rose to fame as part of MomTok and currently stars in Hulu’s hit The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. She makes Bachelor Nation history as the first Mormon lead. The reality star has been married once before to Tate Paul, with whom she shares two kids. Her most recent relationship was with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen. They also have a child together.
ABC is switching up its Bachelor Nation schedule with The Bachelorette. It’s been well over a year since Jenn Tran‘s season aired, with no new season of The Bachelorette airing at all in 2025. The Bachelor usually airs early in the year, but Paul’s season of The Bachelorette will be debuting at the top of 2026.
