Once called a “turd” by celeb guest Amy Schumer<\/strong>, the former investment banker and single father wasn’t exactly a fan-favorite during his time on Kaitlyn Bristowe<\/strong>‘s season for a few reasons: 1. He revealed he had cheated on his ex-wife. 2. He clashed with some of the other guys, aside from his serious bromance with Clint, resulting in endless “Brokeback Bachelor” jokes.<\/p>\n

“Kaitlyn’s not the right girl for me,” he once said. “I love JJ, so I need the rose tonight.”<\/p>\n

Even after his season, he was making headlines, getting into a violent altercation after the filming<\/a> of the Men Tell All<\/em> special when he was leaving the after-party.<\/p>\n

“I stood up for a friend on Saturday and rec’d 2 black eyes for my effort,” he tweeted after the encounter. “I did however leave 4 of them hurt and running away. #Facts.”<\/p>\n

But then something surprising happened: JJ went to Mexico for season two of Bachelor in Paradise, where he became a fan-favorite and formed friendships with Bachelor Nation fan-favorites like Jade and Tanner and Ashley I. and Jared and Ben Higgins considers him a good friend.<\/p>\n

While he briefly dated Bachelor<\/em> alum and fellow single parent Juelia Kinney<\/strong>, whom he met during BIP<\/em> but started off as friends, the pair split after their 2017 appearance on Marriage Boot Camp Reality Stars<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But JJ is now engaged to girlfriend Kayla Hughes<\/strong>, proposing to her in Hawaii in January 2019. JJ revealed on Instagram that they are set to get married on February 29, 2020.<\/p>\n

JJ and Kayla, a former NFL cheerleader, began dating in September 2017, with JJ crediting her for making him a better man.<\/p>\n

“As people that followed the Bachelor knew, I had gone through a pretty tough divorce that ultimately impacted my career and mental well-being,” he told People<\/em>. “Since Kayla came into my life, it’s been a 180 in terms of finding my mojo again, both personally and professionally. She has been a rock for me and is the woman that makes me wake up desiring to be my absolute best in every aspect of life.”<\/p>\n
