Get ready to fall in love.
Season 16 of “The Bachelorette” is well underway. America has met 31 adorable men — and two leading ladies. Clare Crawley was replaced by Tayshia Adams shortly into the season after getting engaged to contestant Dale Moss.
Fans are particularly excited about Ivan Hall, who reportedly gets serious with Adams when she takes over the show. According to professional reality TV spoiler Reality Steve, Hall apparently makes it into Adams’ final four men.
“Real dumb guy. Aeronautical engineer from Dallas, Texas,” joked host Chris Harrison, during an online presentation of the suitors.
“Quiet, soft-spoken, extremely likable,” said Harrison of the 28-year-old contestant. Hall’s nickname is apparently “Sweet Ivan.”
“Do the nice guys ever finish first? We’ll see if they do,” the host continued.
According to his official show biography, Hall was born in Chicago and then moved to Plano, Texas. He has a close bond with his mother, and speaks to her every day.
He doesn’t want to be the only brains in the relationship, he insists: “Intelligence is a huge aphrodisiac,” he said. Hall also hopes to find a love who is ambitious, beautiful and nurturing. He hopes to have “spirited debates” with his partner.
This engineer isn’t meek: He regularly hits the gym and works out. And a bonus? He’s great in the sack — sort of.
“This guy is the best sleeper I’ve ever seen,” said Harrison. “He can literally sleep through anything. He’s a world-class napper, nothing can move this guy.”
On his Instagram, Hall also describes himself as an investor. His not-so-frequently updated profile shows shots of him with his family, attending Mavericks basketball games and traveling.
