According to the rumors discussed by Sutter and Recchia, it appears that the lead for the upcoming season of The Bachelorette had already been selected. However, the network made the strategic choice to postpone the cycle. The reasoning behind this decision suggests that ABC plans to allocate the coveted May/June 2025 timeslot to the second season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, a show that caters to a similar audience demographic as The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, often referred to as Bachelor Nation.
At this moment, it is important to note that none of these claims have been officially confirmed by ABC, and they remain speculative. Fans are left in suspense, eagerly awaiting any official statements regarding the future of their beloved reality series.
