Zach Shallcross is on the hunt for his soulmate once again! The former “Bachelorette” contestant wasn’t lucky in love when he appeared on the ABC dating show last season, but he’s giving it another go as the latest star of “The Bachelor.”
Lucky for us, we don’t have to wait long to watch the 26-year-old tech executive begin his quest for romance. The 27th season of “The Bachelor” premieres on Monday, Jan. 23 at 8 p.m. ET and from the looks of the trailer, there will be plenty of romance and drama.
As a contestant on “The Bachelorette,” Shallcross had chemistry with Rachel Recchia, but their romance didn’t go the distance and he ultimately decided to leave the show towards the end of the season.
This time around, the California native will be putting his heart on the line to find “the one,” and there are 30 ladies vying for his attention. Per the tech executive’s bio, he’s looking for a connection similar to the one his parents have (which he characterizes as “true love”).
If Shallcross is truly seeking a soulmate, he might have luck with Aly, a “Southern sweetheart” and “hopeless romantic” who is ready for marriage, per her ABC bio.
The self-described “family man at heart” could also vibe with Anastasia, who comes from a “big, loving Greek family,” or or Becca, who says her mom is the person she “loves most in this world.” If Shallcross is looking for a bit of excitement, thrill-seeker Ariel might be a great match.
Read on for photos of all 30 women. We’ll be updating this cast list as the show goes on – so you can see who stays and who goes.
