Goodbye, Graham! Season 4 Bachelorette contestant Graham Bunn first tried his luck winning DeAnna Pappas‘ heart in 2008, and after seven years participating in various Bachelor franchise spinoffs, the 36-year-old entrepreneur tells Us Weekly he’s done with reality TV.
Why won’t Bunn be partying in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico alongside Kirk DeWindt, Tenley Molzahn, Jaclyn Swartz, and Ashley “Onion Girl” Salter? He’s now officially off the market! “[ABC] did express some interest, but I’m actually dating a very lovely lady that I like very much so I did not have to go back to paradise,” philanthropist Bunn told Us at the June 8 LYCOS Life launch party in L.A. “I think people have had enough of me, I’ve been on a few shows.”
Bunn’s luck in love comes after he was publicly rejected by Pappas, dated Bachelor Pad 2 partner Michelle Money in 2011, and got cozy with AshLee Frazier on Bachelor in Paradise in 2014.
Now he’s coupled up with a friend from his pre-Bachelorette days. “She’s great, and has been very supportive,” Bunn told Us. “I’m very happy, very lucky.”
When he can, Go 105 radio host Bunn tunes in to see Kaitlyn Bristowe‘s search for love on The Bachelorette. “Kaitlyn’s gorgeous. I haven’t seen as much as I’d like to, but . . . I’ll try to catch it on DVR.”
Bunn’s fellow Bachelorette alum Bob Guiney also attended Monday’s event, and told Us while he loves Bristowe, he wishes ABC casted better bachelors. “Kaitlyn’s very genuine, which I like. I don’t think she even realizes she’s on TV half the time, which I think that’s pretty awesome,” Guiney said. “I don’t really like a lot of the dudes on her season. I feel like for such a cool girl I feel like they could have done a better job casting it. I hope that JJ guy’s gone pretty soon!”
