Underwood first captured the hearts of viewers on the most recent The Bachelorette with Becca Kufrin. He was also in the latest season of Bachelor in Paradise where he had an emotional breakup with Tia Booth, which has some fans questioning if he’s ready to open his heart once more. But, hey, third time’s a charm, right?

Will you tune in to Underwood’s quest to finally find the one? Let us know in the comments below!
