Summary

In this episode of After Reality, I sit down with John Henry Spurlock, a fan favorite from The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise. We dive into his life updates, including his move to Hawaii for his career as an underwater welder. We also chat about his experiences on the shows, how he unexpectedly found himself in the Bachelor franchise, and his thoughts on his former fiancée, Katt Izzo, as she returns for another season of Bachelor in Paradise. Was he asked back and will he be watching? Together, we explore the challenges of his unique profession, his take on fame and dating, and the personal struggles he’s faced with mental health.

We wrap up with a fun rapid-fire segment where John Henry spills on his former contestant crushes and shares a hilarious story about giving his number to a future Bachelor winner—before her time on the show!
