Get Your First Look at Matt James as 'The Bachelor'!

Matt James is the next Bachelor and his season is already filming.

Now, the franchise has debuted its very first look at the new star of the reality dating show.

“It’s an honor,” Matt previously said on Good Morning America about being chosen as the new lead of the franchise. “I’m going to lean into myself and how my mom raised me, and hopefully when people invite me into their homes Monday night they see that I’m not different from them and that diverse love stories are beautiful.”

Unfortunately, there is some upsetting news for Bachelor Nation that was just revealed in the past few weeks.
