Underwood, who is also a former pro football player, became emotional while admitting the truths he learned about himself during quarantine. In the preview footage, the journalist asked the 29-year-old reality TV personality, “There’s something that you want people to know, so can you tell us what is on your heart that you want to share?” He went on to explain, “Obviously this year’s been a lot for a lot of people, and it’s probably made a lot of people look themselves in the mirror and figure out who they are and what they’ve been running from and putting off in their lives. For me, I’ve ran from myself for a long time and I’ve hated myself for a long time, and I’m gay. I came to terms with that that earlier this year and have been processing it,” he told Roberts.
“The next step in all of this is sort of letting people know. I’m still nervous but it’s been a journey for sure.”
Underwood was heavily known as “The Virgin Bachelor,” when he appeared on Becca Kufrin’s season of “The Bachelorette” in 2018. His virginity continued to be a major storyline when he became the ‘Bachelor’ for Season 23. He later told Variety he believed was “overblown,” but not necessarily exploited. He wound up choosing Cassie Randolph, though the 2 never got engaged and had a very messy breakup.
In his GMA interview, Colton also said he was sorry for how things ended with Cassie, and that he truly loved everything about her, which made things more difficult.
