Bachelor Nation stars and fans are grieving right along with J.P. Rosenbaum, who recently lost his mom.
In an emotional post on social media, Jp admitted he had “absolutely no words” to describe the wonderful woman that she was.
Several familiar faces jumped into the comments to offer their condolences to Jp on the devastating loss.
The Bachelorette alum is likely finding comfort with his family and close friends at this time since he no longer has ex-wife Ashley Hebert to lean on.
The Season 7 couple were happily married for quite some time and even had two adorable kids, a daughter, Essex, and her older brother, Ford.
However, in 2020, after eight years of marriage, the pair announced their split and in October 2021, their divorce was official.
Ashley has since moved on to a new relationship, but as far as we know, Jp is single and focused on co-parenting their two kids.

Bachelor Nation knows a thing or two about a wedding special.

Ten years later, “The Golden Bachelor” couple Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist did just that — with all the above individuals in attendance — at the La Quinta Resort and Club just outside Palm Springs, Calif.

[This story includes spoilers for the latest episode of ABC’s The Golden Bachelor.]
Gerry Turner was able to cheer on the women as they learned more about one of his great passions — yep, we’re talking about pickleball — during this week’s installment of The Golden Bachelor.
The latest episode featured a group-date competition as the women paired off for a pickleball tournament that included coaching from newly minted Bachelor star Joey Graziadei and encouragement from Bachelor Nation’s Trista Sutter. The Hollywood Reporter attended the taping of the date, which saw Ellen Goltzer and Kathy Swarts prevail as champions, with Sandra Mason — who stunned everyone with the news that she skipped her daughter’s wedding that day to participate — receiving the date rose.
“I’m not going to lie — my excitement was as high as theirs,” Turner quipped to THR about the athletic showdown. “But I think the most impressive part was how hard they were trying. They really wanted to learn the game.

Spoiler Alert! This post contains details from Thursday’s episode of ABC’s The Golden Bachelor.
After an emotional and somewhat stressful week, Gerry is ready to take his relationships to the next level as his journey on The Golden Bachelor reaches the halfway point.
That’s right, folks. Next week is the last dates before hometowns, which means that the pressure is on for the nine remaining women. The episode begins with a fun surprise for the ladies. The Og Bachelorette, Trista Sutter is here!
And if you thought that the drama from last week was all water under the bridge, you’d be wrong. As the women are chatting with Trista, she reminds them that the process can work if they stay true to themselves. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Teresa takes this as an opportunity to tell Trista that she so agrees with the sentiment, especially since she went on...

The October 24 episode of Dancing With the Stars is more than the traditional “Most Memorable Year” show. Eight, count ‘em, eight “Og” dance pros are coming back to the program to take part in a special dance to honor late lead judge Len Goodman, who passed away in April at the age of 78. Pro dancers Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson Chmerkovskiy are choreographing the tribute dance, set to the iconic Henry Mancini song “Moon River.” Returning for the special occasion are Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Kym Johnson-Herjavec, Tony Dovolani, Anna Trebunskaya, Edyta Śliwińska, Karina Smirnoff, Louis van Amstel, and (last season’s mirror ball champion) Mark Ballas.

Since the first season of The Bachelor aired back in 2002, several spinoffs have come and gone. The show’s original concept began with one single man and a group of women vying for his love. Since then, many things about The Bachelor have changed, but the show remains. Fans might not know just how many other shows the franchise has created. Here are some notable spinoffs worth watching.
The cast of ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ | ABC/Craig Sjodin ‘The Bachelorette’ has a better success rate than ‘The Bachelor’
Of course, the first spinoff we have to mention is The Bachelorette. The aptly named show really needs very little explanation. On The Bachelorette, a group of men competes for the love of one beautiful woman, hoping to end her season in an engagement.

It’s been over 20 years since The Bachelor Season 1 premiered on ABC. Alex Michel, a Harvard-educated management consultant from Charlottesville, Virginia, stepped into the spotlight as the show’s first lead. Since then, quite a few things have changed.

In 2023 ABC spreads new episodes of The Bachelor out over the course of two months. Season 27 consists of 10 episodes in total, as well as a Women Tell All and After the Final Rose special. However, back in 2002, the first season of The Bachelor was much shorter. Season 1 consisted of only six episodes in total, with the Women Tell All premiering on the same day as the finale.
Bachelor Mansion was not built until 2004

The hug jump is a move that has many names in The Bachelor franchise, but fans know it when they see it. This greeting has become a kind of tradition in the franchise and even a bit of a joke. But where did it all begin? And what have former contestants and leads on the show said about the hug jump? Let’s take a look.
Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo | Rodrigo Varela/Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images Who did the first hug jump in ‘The Bachelor’ franchise?
The hug jump doesn’t have an official name in the Bachelor franchise, but it’s made its way into pop culture over the years. Heather McDonald, host of the pop culture podcast “Juicy Scoop with Heather McDonald,” refers to this move as the “toddler jump.” Years ago, she demonstrated the move with former Bachelor Nick Viall.

As the first Bachelorette, Trista Sutter revealed that she wouldn’t have said yes to Ryan Sutter if she didn’t truly believe that he was “the one.”
But how do you take that leap of faith on reality TV, especially when you’ve only been with the person a handful of times? Trista believes it is truly possible to find love on reality TV.
Trista Sutter thinks true love is possible on a show like ‘The Bachelorette’
“I do,” she told Showbiz Cheat Sheet about finding love on TV. “We met through the show, but it’s what we did with our relationship after the show that really mattered. And I think that still holds true. As long as you are on the same page and that’s what you want out of the show, then it definitely is achievable if you. Just by prioritizing the relationship.”

Not many kids have parents who met on a reality television show like The Bachelorette. But Ryan and Trista Sutter’s teen kids, Maxwell and Blakesley know that their mom and dad are two of the most famous couples from The Bachelorette, which doesn’t exactly impress them.
“I know my son could care less,” Trista told Showbiz Cheat Sheet. “I mean, probably both of them are kind of like ‘it’s weird.’ Like you don’t even want to think about how your parents met.”
Trista and her daughter recently watched ‘The Bachelorette’ together
Max probably isn’t going to be watching any seasons of The Bachelorette any time soon. “Anyway, I know that my son could care less. My daughter is a little more interested in the show aspect of it,” Trista said. “Like we watched Gabby and Rachel’s season together, it was our first kind of time watching.

As the finale for season 31 of “Dancing with the Stars” approaches this Monday night on Disney+, the last four celebrities in the competition who are gunning for the coveted Mirror Ball trophy are Wayne Brady, Charli D’Amelio, Shangela, and Gabby Windey. Each of them have proven to be a force to be reckoned with in the ballroom throughout these past nine weeks. There’s a case to be made for any one of them to come out on top. However, the one who I think we should really keep an eye out for is Windey.
Throughout the show’s long history, four “Bachelorette” stars have competed for the Mirror Ball trophy. So far two of them have won. In 2019 Hannah Brown managed to prevail in a finale that also included Lauren Alaina (fourth place), Ally Brooke (third place), and Kel Mitchell (runner-up). Then in 2020 Kaitlyn Bristowe won in a finale...

The Bachelorette has been around for close to a decade.
The premise is the same every season, one woman goes on the Bachelor to find the love of her life. She gets rejected and sometimes cries ugly tears in the limo back to the airport.
Although she didn’t win the Bachelor’s heart, she often wins America’s heart, placing her in the best position to become the next Bachelorette.
Out of heartbreak is born the opportunity to be in control and be the one to hand out the roses. She is then given six weeks to find the man she will marry.
Some people have found lasting love on the show, saying that it’s like going to a love boot camp.
There are no distractions whatsoever and the contestants can truly concentrate on getting to know one another.

When The Bachelor premiered on ABC 20 years ago—on March 25, 2002—the dating-competition genre was still in its infancy. Reality TV cameras, Bachelor cams included, were still shooting in standard definition. And the house now known as Bachelor Mansion hadn’t even been built. After only six episodes—a season half the length of recent Bachelor editions—inaugural Bachelor Alex Michel chose Amanda Marsh as his winner. Their relationship ended soon thereafter, with Marsh alleging that Michel was still pining for the season’s runner-up, Trista Sutter (née Rehn), who became the franchise’s first Bachelorette. But that off-screen breakup was immaterial to ABC. The network already had its first Bachelor “journey to find love” in the can, and it could only hope the show would be the pop culture phenomenon it has become. Television critics, meanwhile, hoped it wouldn’t—calling ABC desperate for airing the show and the contestants desperate for participating.
