Chris Soules is reportedly eager to get back on another reality show to find love. Multiple reports suggest that "The Bachelor" alum is all set to star on "Bachelor in Paradise" 2016 when it returns for a third season this August 2016.
While there is still no definite proof that Soules will be part of "Bachelor in Paradise" 2016, Bustle reported that Prince Farming starring in another reality show is not far from happening. The outlet pointed out that Soules can be considered a pro when it comes to reality TV.
After failing to win Andi Dorfman's heart in "The Bachelorette," he headlined "The Bachelor" season 19 where he met Whitney Bischoff. He was also part of "Dancing with the Stars" season 21 with partner Witney Carson. Unfortunately, being a contestant in "DWTS" reportedly took a toll on his relationship with Bischoff. After being engaged for a couple of months, Soules and Bischoff decided to call it quits.
In an interview with Oprah, Soules admitted that he never thought he will be given an opportunity to be the next Bachelor. He recounted that the call from the producers happened less than 24 hours after Dorfman dumped him on live television. As he claimed that he had real feelings for Dorfman that time and was clearly hurting from the break up, he was hesitant to do another reality show.
"When Andi sent me home, the next morning, the producer's like, 'So, uh, what do you think about being the Bachelor?' I'm like, 'No! I just got my heart broken by this girl. I have no interest in dating other people.'"
Soules, however, later admitted that having 30 women express interest in him was "pretty overwhelming and flattering." While his relationship with Bischoff ultimately failed, the reality star shared that they still remained friendly.
When asked if he has started dating since, Soules said that he wanted to take some time off. He, however, said that he remains hopeful that he will eventually find the one. Does this mean that he is not closing doors on going on "Bachelor in Paradise" 2016?
"When you go through a breakup, you get stung a little bit and you pull back. There are times I wonder if I'm meant to be single. But I'm hopeful I can eventually find that person."
