If you’ve come in search of The Bachelorette spoilers, follow the link, because this article contains nothing of the sort. Just pure hotness!
Forget Ben. It’s raining men – 26 of ’em – this summer on ABC, which has just released the first poster of JoJo Fletcher as The Bachelorette.
His loss is our gain. That’s how we’re approaching this season.
As we all know by now, Ben Higgins proposed to Lauren Bushnell on The Bachelor finale, spurning a dejected JoJo at the 11th hour.
This after he professed his love to her, as well. It was tough.
But JoJo bounced back quickly, supplanting a pissed off Caila Quinn to win The Bachelorette role in casting move that surprised fans.
In a good way. She’s one of the most popular stars to date.
Clearly, based on the poster above, JoJo is no longer dwelling on the past, as The Bachelorette tagline reads, "From Ben to 26 new men."
Why 26 and not 25? We cannot say. But we can tell you JoJo Fletcher’s final five – and the one she is supposedly super sweet on already.
The bad news for her? Robby Hayes is also still in the hunt.
Anyway, the drama has yet to play out in real life, yet alone on TV, so let’s just bask in the glory of possibility – and JoJo herself – for now.
Gazing upon her in a sequined red gown, smiling up as rose petals flutter down, one feels a sense of completeness, like it was meant to be.
It sounds like JoJo is embracing the moment as well.
"Right after my relationship ended with Ben, I had some time at home to think about everything," JoJo told E! News in an interview.
"I feel like I got to a place where I moved on and I was happy, and then it came to me and I felt like I was more ready than ever."
"The timing felt right and I was really excited."
Game on May 23. Game very much on.
