Season 29 of The Bachelor is months away, but a Vanderpump Rules star threw his name in the hat as a possible contender. Keep reading for all the details and how fans of the Bravo show feel about the idea.
Multiple Eligible Bachelors On VPR
Vanderpump Rules premiered in 2013 as a reality show following a group of 20-something bar employees hoping for their big break in Hollywood. The show just wrapped up Season 11. Viewers watched as various cast members married, divorced and returned to the dating scene.
As of right now, several current and former male VPR stars are single and ready to mingle. Jax Taylor, who left the show in 2020, is estranged from wife Brittany Cartwright. His bestie, Tom Schwartz, divorced Katie Maloney in 2022 and is currently dating someone half his age.
Could reality TV fans see a crossover of all-time with a Vanderpump Rules star as the next Bachelor?

The men of VPR may be allergic to marriage, but tying the knot is the ultimate goal of the Bachelor franchise shows. Season 28 just wrapped up in March with Joey Graziadei proposing to Kelsey Anderson, though they have yet to marry.
ABC renewed the show for Season 29, to air in early 2025. Right now, the focus is on Season 21 of The Bachelorette and the upcoming Golden Bachelorette airing this fall. The network has yet to choose the next Bachelor and a Vanderpump Rules star thinks it should be him.
SUR manager Peter Madrigal took to Twitter to nominate himself as the next Bachelor. He shared a photo of himself looking dapper in a black suit jacket, no shirt and a black tie, holding a rose in one hand.
