Colton Underwood’s Complicated Journey to Fatherhood
Earlier this year, Colton Underwood opened up about his fatherhood plans with his husband, Jordan C Brown, revealing they wanted two kids together. He admitted that while they left the conception of their first son to chance and remained unaware of who between them fathered the child, they looked forward to having the other person do the honors on their next issue.
Colton starred as the lead man on The Bachelor in 2019, searching for love among 30 women aspiring to become his bride. He eventually wound up with contestant Cassie Randolph with whom it seemed he had some chemistry. Hence, it came as a complete shock when the TV personality came out as gay during a one-on-one with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America in April 2021.
He eventually owned up fully to his sexual orientation by going public with his relationship with Jordan and tying the knot in May 2023. One year down the line and counting, the former symbol of heterosexuality hasn’t regretted the big decision and is in fact thankful for the chance to embark on this journey together, along with their future brood.
