Who Is Jesse Palmer, The New ‘Bachelor’ Host? Everything to Know

The Bachelor has officially found its new host. While former Bachelorettes Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe have hosted the past two seasons of The Bachelorette following longtime franchise host Chris Harrison‘s controversial exit earlier this year, the question of who will host the ABC franchise’s flagship series has remained a question mark. Now Bachelor Nation finally knows who will host Season 26: Jesse Palmer, an ex-NFL player and TV personality who was the Bachelor way back in Season 5.

“For more than 20 years, The Bachelor has brought the world dozens of unforgettable love stories, including at one time, my own,” Palmer said in a statement. “Falling in love is one of life’s greatest gifts, and I am humbled by the opportunity to return to the show as host this season to offer the newest Bachelor advice gained from firsthand experience and I am grateful to play a small part in this journey.”

So, who is Jesse Palmer? Here’s what to know about The Bachelor‘s new host:

Palmer starred in The Bachelor Season 5 back in 2004. He’s continued working with ABC over the years, hosting the ABC reality dating show The Proposal, and appearing as a special contributor for Good Morning America. Most recently, he hosted the network’s reality competition The Ultimate Surfer.

He was also the quarterback in the NFL for five seasons in the early 2000s, playing for the New York Giants and the San Francisco 49ers. The TV star has since joined ESPN as a commentator. And if that wasn’t enough, he also hosts The Food Network’s Holiday Baking Championship!
