Andy Baldwin is a Football Fanatic

Former Bachelor Andy Baldwin spends Wednesday afternoon chillaxing at a beach with friends in Oahu, Hawaii. He spent over a hour throwing around a football with a friend before jogging and cooling off in the ocean.

Earlier this month, the 30-year-old U.S. Navy Lt. stopped off at the Navy Exchange Barber shop for a quick buzz cut.

Andy and the Navy SEALS are reportedly headed to the Persian Gulf country of Bahrain (an island kingdom) in early 2008 to help troops with the war.

“We’ve recently been tasked to go over to the Persian Gulf and serve as a special command and control element over there,” Andy recently told Hawaii’s KITV-TV. “It’s an opportunity that’s going to be risky, but it’s also our opportunity to do our job in protecting our freedom.”

As for former fiancee Tessa Horst, check out this video. “Tessa and I love each other very much,” Andy says. “We’re trying to keep our private life private now. It’s on to the next bachelor, but things are good,” he said.
