Is America’s most controversial Bachelor really trading red carpets for red barns? Because Colton Underwood just announced he’s officially ghosting Los Angeles, and honey, we have SO many thoughts about this plot twist!
The former reality TV heartthrob took to social media to spill the tea on his big move, thanking LA for round two while hinting that his family is ready for greener pastures—literally. “I met my husband, made incredible friends and welcomed our baby boy,” he gushed, before dropping the ultimate mic-drop: “Our family is leaving with so much love & we are ready for the next chapter.” Translation? Farm life is calling, and Colton is answering!
Let’s be real—this is the same guy who came out as gay during the pandemic, which absolutely sent shockwaves through Bachelor Nation and had Twitter working overtime for weeks. Now he’s coupled up, raising a child, and apparently ready to become a gentleman farmer. The character development? We cannot. Even. Handle it.
What makes this even more delicious is that Colton previously couldn’t get enough of the Los Angeles lifestyle. But apparently, nothing screams “I’ve evolved” quite like ditching the land of paparazzi and influencer brunches for what we’re assuming is a sprawling estate with actual rooster alarms instead of iPhone notifications. We’re picturing him now, pruning roses and making artisanal cheese, living his best cottagecore fantasy.
Social media has been absolutely LIVING for this announcement. Fans are divided—some are here for Colton’s authentic journey toward domesticity, while others are convinced he’s just trying to stay relevant by doing something outlandish. Because let’s face it, “Bachelor alum lives normal life” doesn’t exactly break the internet. But “Bachelor alum moves to farm with husband and baby”? That’s the kind of energy we’re here for.
The former reality TV prince has certainly come a long way from his controversial runway season and the whole fence-jumping scandal. Now he’s literally jumping the fence to leave Hollywood behind. It’s almost poetic, really.
His husband and baby boy are probably thrilled about the fresh start, and honestly? Good for them. Sometimes you need to leave the City of Angels to find actual peace. Even if it means explaining to your Instagram followers why you’re suddenly posting pictures of chickens instead of champagne glasses.
What do you think? A) Colton’s farm era is exactly what he needs—team authenticity! B) This is just another Bachelor stunt for attention and relevance!
