“I think the virginity label is still going to be around, but it’s not going to be as prominent [after the show],” the former NFL pro, 27, told Us Weekly exclusively. “I think people are going to continue to get a better understanding of who I am. I think you know, it is overplayed absolutely, but there are gonna be different aspects that you’re going to see of my personality and who I am.”

During the Bachelor premiere, Underwood admitted he made “a conscious decision” to focus on football. “My personal life took a backseat. It’s not like I’m going to lose it on a one-night stand … it’s just very important to me.”
