Juan Pablo Galavis was the first Latino Bachelor to make his mark on the Bachelor Nation. Pablo first appeared in season nine of The Bachelorette with Desiree Hartsock as the series’s lead and was eliminated on week six of the series. However, he was promptly confirmed as the next bachelor on Aug. 2013.

But this wasn’t Juan Pablo’s first taste of the limelight, as he’d previously been a soccer player, club promoter, and TV presenter in Miami.

His season kicked on in early 2014 and included some iconic women in Bachelor Nation including soon-to-be Bachelorette Andi Dorfman and problematic Bachelorette queen Claire Crawley, who briefly starred as the Bachelorette in season sixteen of the show before being replaced by Tayshia Adams.

Juan Pablo himself is widely regarded as one of Bachelor fans’ least favorite bachelors. Multiple women broke up with him throughout his season because he wouldn’t ask them questions about themselves, refused to express his feelings to the women, and essentially told women they weren’t mother-material to his daughter. All in all, he seems uncommitted, wishy-washy, and barely interested in the contestants, causing some of them to self-eliminate or at least look like they wanted to.

Even so, he certainly made for an interesting season. Despite the lack of husband qualities, the season was like a train wreck: fans couldn’t help but watch to see what happened next.

At the end of his season, he chose 26-year-old Nikki Ferrell, but he didn’t propose to her. He did however tell her at the final rose ceremony that he had a ring in his pocket he just wasn’t going to use it.

The pair were still together at the reunion, during which he would not say that he loved her, but they broke up soon after. Wonder why.

Now, Juan Pablo is a FIFA Football agent, according to his Instagram. The Venezuelan-born Bachelor did have his season re-air in a shortened version in 2020 as part of the Best Seasons Ever recap, although that didn’t earn him any points in the eyes of the fans.
Recently, he resurfaced on fans’ TVs when his daughter auditioned for American Idol, according to ABC, and let’s just say fans are more than happy to go another ten years without a reappearance.
