Celebrity Obsession: Stars Who Can’t Get Enough of The Bachelor
Stars really are just like Us — they, too, can’t get enough of the Bachelor franchise! Over the years, many celebrities have shared their obsession with the show.
Background Information
The Bachelor franchise has been a staple of reality television since its debut in 2002. Created by Mike Fleiss, the show has spawned numerous spin-offs, including The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, and Bachelor Pad. The series revolves around a single bachelor or bachelorette who dates multiple contestants, ultimately choosing one to propose to in the finale. The show has captivated millions of viewers worldwide, including a surprising number of celebrities.
Main Event or Topic
In 2016, Blue Bloods actor Donnie Wahlberg shared his passion for the show, penning more than 1,000 words for Chicago Splash about his obsession.
“How I lost my Monday nights — but not quite my manhood — to my wife’s favorite TV show. Don’t laugh, it could happen to you, too,” the intro of the story read. “I know all these Bachelor guys on a first-name and character-description basis. The same way that so many husbands had to get to know [New Kids on the Block’s] Donnie, Jordan, Danny, Jon and Joe?”
In 2019, Charlize Theron shared a photo of herself in front of the sign for Peter Weber‘s season of The Bachelor — and she’s not shy about sharing that.
“I love the show,” she told Entertainment Tonight the following year. “Look, he’s like half my age — not that that should matter, but, no, he’s great. I’m super excited. I love the show. I’ve missed it. And I’m just so glad that the show premieres in the winter when it’s dark early because my kids don’t know what time I send them to bed but like 5:45pm. As soon as it’s dark, [I watch The Bachelor].”
Reactions and Impact
Jennifer Aniston is also a big fan. Celebrity hairstylist Justin Anderson revealed in 2021 that she often asks him about his work with Bachelor Nation.
“It’s so funny because when I would do Bachelor people and I would post it to social media Jennifer Aniston, the next time I would see her she’s like, ‘Wait did you just meet so-and-so?’” he said during an episode of the “Click Bait With Bachelor Nation” podcast. “Like, we would talk about it. She’s definitely a fan!”
