JoJo Fletcher Filling in as 'Bachelorette' Host - See Why Chris Harrison Is Gone

Chris Harrison is stepping down as the host of The Bachelorette for the next two weeks and JoJo Fletcher is filling in for him.

The longtime host of the Bachelor Nation franchise is unable to work on the show right now as he decided to leave set to drop his son off at college this week. Now, he must quarantine for the next 14 days before he can be around the cast and crew again.

“The moment he got back, Chris was told he could not set foot back on the set until he went through another 14-day quarantine,” an insider told Us Weekly. “The show’s contestants and crew all had to quarantine on the property for 14 days prior to the camera’s rolling. But it didn’t dawn on Chris he’d have to do it all over again if he simply left to take his kid to college.”

The upcoming season of The Bachelorette is being filmed at La Quinta Resort & Club in La Quinta, Calif. The entire season is taking place in that small bubble to make sure everyone stays safe amid the pandemic.

Chris posted the below photo on Instagram earlier this week with the caption, “Just like that he’s gone. Thought dropping the big man off at college @texaschristianuniversity today was going to crush me but all I could feel is pride and excitement. Especially now, so grateful that they have this opportunity. Now go take on the world and have the time of your life my boy.”

A former couple from The Bachelorette just broke up last week after two years together.
