Bachelor Nation is about to get just a little bit bigger! Bachelor star Kelly Travis announced her first pregnancy over the holiday weekend with a sweet sonogram Instagram post.
“Hamm in the oven! So excited to announce baby Hamm is due June 2018. #thankful #hammintheoven,” she captioned the shot of her sonogram covered in confetti.
This is the first child for Travis and her husband, Hunter Hamm, who tied the knot in April 2016.
The 31-year-old reality star competed on Juan Pablo’s season of The Bachelor. And though things clearly didn’t work out between the two, Travis has stayed close to her fellow contestant-turned-future-Bachelorette, Andi Dorfman.
The pair even rang in Dorfman’s 30th birthday together back in April.
“Spent the weekend in NYC celebrating this girl! Happy 30th @andi_dorfman!” Travis captioned a selfie. “There's no one better to dance on counters, drink red wine, and gaycation with. You're the best best friend a girl could ask...

Despite early reports, Peter Kraus is not our next Bachelor.
Instead, Arie Luyendyk Jr. has been named The Bachelor‘s next leading man — and the night before the televised reveal, Kraus tweeted, “Never let fear hold you back. Lesson learned.”
Many on social media are disappointed that the Wisconsin native won’t look for love again on TV. But a source close to production previously told People that fan favorite Kraus was “never” the network’s first choice given that he wasn’t comfortable with the premise that lies at the very core of the ABC reality show: that it...

Is Peter Kraus getting another chance at love on the small screen?
Rumors that the 31-year-old Wisconsin native is set to be the next star of The Bachelor have been heating up all week, largely due to a series of tweets from franchise creator Mike Fleiss teasing a “shocking” announcement about the show.

Ever since Rachel Lindsay got engaged to Bryan Abasolo on the most recent season of The Bachelorette, the competition has been pretty wide open as to who will be handing out the roses on the next season of The Bachelor — but it seems that the king of Bachelor Nation may have just narrowed down the field.
Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss sent a tweet on Thursday that certainly seems to eliminate Lindsay’s runner-up, Peter Kraus, from the shortlist.

Whether it’s The Bachelor, The Bachelorette or Bachelor in Paradise, there is always one (or two) contestants that stand out during the season and become the “villain.”
It’s not necessarily a bad thing – the show would be boring without them – and it’s time to give them some recognition for their work.
Love them or hate them, they are all notorious in their own way. But were they there for “the wrong reasons?”
From the infamous Olivia to leading man Juan Pablo, let’s take a trip down memory lane and break it all down.
If we forgot your favorite, or you think someone else deserves to be #1, let us know in the comments.

(Spoiler alert: This story contains spoilers for Tuesday’s episode of “The Bachelorette”) ABC’s “The Bachelor” dating franchise has a relationship with race and diversity that can be summed up in a Facebook update: It’s complicated. This summer’s 12th season of “The Bachelorette” began with a half-Iranian star, Joelle “JoJo” Fletcher, and five non-white suitors. But after Tuesday’s third episode, Fletcher eliminated four of those five bachelor contestants. All 20 white contestants remain in contention to get the final rose. That continues a troubling pattern for a show that has all too often failed to feature non-white contestants.

This is it. "The Bachelorette" Season 11 will infuriate and bewilder us for the last time this Monday, July 27 when the finale airs, Kaitlyn Bristowe chooses between Shawn Booth, Nick Viall and herself, and it's all given an overly positive spin on "After the Final Rose."
Speaking of spin, what did The Powers That Be make of that Snapchat video Kaitlyn posted that seemed to give away the winner? That scandal-of-sorts played out in June when an image was captured and shared across the Internet, showing Kaitlyn in bed with Shawn. Up to that point, the running Spoiler, from Reality Steve, was that Kaitlyn walked away single and alone. After that, the spoiler was updated to say Kaitlyn did get engaged to Shawn and they are still together. So she either shared the Snapchat "accidentally" or wanted to get in front of the spoilers, since walking away solo has yet to...

Ben Higgins is the next Bachelor. His rose duty should begin in September and start airing on ABC in January 2016. None of this is official yet, but it was basically confirmed by Twitter when Ben H. made his departure this past week on "The Bachelorette." The Internet could not cope with Kaitlyn Bristowe's latest bad call, since Ben was deemed "perfect," and now E! News and Reality Steve have confirmed that Ben is "The Bachelor" for 2016. ABC will announce the news when they feel like it.
Is this good news? If you genuinely like Ben, then no, not really. This is where the adage "If you love someone, set them free" comes into play.

Marcus, the sweet guy whom fans couldn't believe Andi Dorfman passed on during her season of The Bachelorette, and Lacy, who dodged the Juan Pablo bullet on The Bachelor, met and subsequently got engaged on Bachelor in Paradise—so what better place to take their commitment to the next level?!

Um, about last night... no one watches "The Bachelorette" because it's classy, but fans gasped and clutched their pearls in Mrs. Dursley horror-fascination when the extended promo for Season 11 showed new Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe admitting she went "too far too fast" with one of her many boyfriends. In case that wasn't clear enough, she further spelled it out on camera -- and to her remaining suitors -- she had sex with one of the guys. That's generally frowned on, even if there have been rumors that people have done it in the past (Bachelor Bob Guiney reportedly had sex with five and a half women, even though that doesn't even make sense), and fans just assume that most rose-givers get it on in the fantasy suite. Heck, even when they make a point of saying they didn't have sex, fans still think they did. That's part of the prurient nature of this show.

Now that "Mad Men" is over, "The Bachelorette" is ready to take its place as the best show on television. And by best we clearly mean most shamelessly Iq-reducing. But we're not here to judge, we're here to be the jury and pass stiff sentences against the clowns (that means you, Ryan M.) who showed up on Season 11's premiere to try and date Kaitlyn Bristowe, Britt Nilsson or whoever else showed up. We find most of them guilty of cringe-inducing silliness (not you, Joshua, Ian, Ben Z, Joe, Shawn B....) and sentence them to loving ridicule in this list. The official Bachelorette -- either Kaitlyn or Britt -- will be revealed Tuesday night in another hour special, but here are 13 highlights/lowlights from May 18's drunken, *dramatic,* and painfully awkward first episode.
1. Ryan Gets Drunk, Says Dumb Stuff
Ryan M. both won and lost the night for the same reason: He was That Guy.

Recently, our trusty source, Reality Steve, delivered the largest spoiler of them all with the claim that current Bachelor, Chris Soules, did indeed pick the cute and classy blonde girl, Whitney Bischoff (left), to where his engagement ring. Steve reports that the magic moment actually took place during the final rose ceremony held at a barn owned by Chris' parents in Lamont,Iowa on November 22nd, 2014. Both of the final women ,Becca and Whitney, showed up, so they could film one of them getting dumped in front of the entire world. So, maybe they'll make poor Becca the new Bachelorette. Who knows? According to this, though, Becca definitely gets dumped by Chris. Steve swears that this news was acquired from very trusted sources. And he did predict the finale for both Juan Pablo and Andi Dorfman's seasons, so he's on a roll. Steve says he found out about the engagement 2 days after it happened.

Following a stint on the latest season of "The Bachelorette," when he was rejected by Andi Dorfman, Chris Soules (a.k.a. Farmer Chris to fans) has been selected as the new "Bachelor."
E! reports that Soules beat out fellow "Bachelorette" contestant Arie Luyendyk Jr. -- the runner up on Emily Maynard's season -- for the coveted starring role on the long-running ABC dating reality series. The network is expected to make Soules's selection official during an appearance on "Good Morning America" this week.
According to E!, "Bachelor" producers were "looking for the anti-Juan Pablo...definitely want a really nice guy this time around," a dig at the notoriously polarizing former Bachelor. They seem to have found that in Soules, who told E! during a taping of the "Men Tell All" special earlier this year that he'd be willing to hand out roses on "The Bachelor" if given the opportunity.
