Arie Luyendyk Jr. Says 'I Love You' to More Than One Woman on 'The Bachelor'

Arie Luyendyk Jr. admitted in a new interview that while filming The Bachelor, he told more than one woman that he loved them.

“I told more than one person that I was in love and it made it hard for me. I think that I didn’t really expect that. I didn’t know that I had that capacity to love more than one person at a time and I think that’s something that some of the bachelors go through and it’s difficult. But I’m glad that I left myself open and got to experience that, for sure,” Arie told ABC News. There have been other instances of The Bachelor/ette saying “I love you” to more than one competitor, but it has proved upsetting.

When Arie competed on Emily Maynard‘s season of The Bachelorette, he was known for being a big kisser. So, that trend will continue in his season.

“As far as kissing throughout the season, I think it’s just when that moment sort of feels right, so yeah, I’m a romantic and I do love kissing,” he said. “I feel like the physical side of a relationship is important, so yeah, there will be some kissing.”
