Jeremy Anderson News

Here's some amazing Bachelor / Bachelorette gossip. Jeremy Anderson - the handsome Texan rejected by DeAnna Pappas who is being talked about as the next star of The Bachelor - has started dating Chelsea Wanstrath!

Yes, the sweet girl Matt Grant rejected in favor of ditzy now-ex-fiancee Shayne Lamas on the most recent season of The Bachelor!

After weeks of rumors, Jeremy Anderson confirmed to Us Weekly that he is dating Chelsea Wanstrath - or at least getting to know her:

"Chelsea Wanstrath is a beautiful girl and I have gotten a chance to get to know her pretty well. I have tons of fun with her and she lets me be myself. As far as whether or not we are dating... right now we are having fun getting to know one another. We aren't in a rush. So, we will see where it goes, but yes we are definitely spending as much time as we can together. I reached out to her when I got cut to try to make sense of everything and we hit it off straight away (a little Aussie slang). I saw her on the premiere of her season and thought she was hot and had a great personality. When I saw her in person I thought, 'Wow, she was hot on TV but 10 times hotter in person."'

He sounds happy with Chelsea. Take that, Matt Grant.

Wonder if this takes Jeremy out of the running for The Bachelor. With him, Graham Bunn and JT Torregiani all off the market, does this officially open the door for a Jason Mesnick return?

Rumors are flying that this week's bachelor eliminated by DeAnna Pappas, Jeremy Anderson, a 30-year-old real estate attorney from Dallas, Texas, will become the next star of The Bachelor when the series returns this fall.

Two weeks ago, Jeremy seemed conflicted about the idea of going through it again, according to Access Hollywood, and wasn't sure if ABC had interest.

Yesterday, though, reporters questioned whether or not he had thought about being the next star of The Bachelor and this time, Jeremy seemed more open.

"It was a great experience," Anderson said.

"It was probably the most enlightening thing I've ever done. I feel like I took more out of it than anyone."

This morning with the rumors growing louder, reporters questioned DeAnna Pappas on whether Jeremy Anderson would be a good pick as The Bachelor.

"Jeremy would make a great Bachelor because he has everything to offer. He is the perfect man," DeAnna Pappas said.

"He has a wonderful outlook on life and love. He has a great career ahead of him. He has a great dog. He has the total package."

Is he even available though? On a conference call, Jeremy Anderson admitted that he is currently dating someone but did not reveal who.

"I have started seeing someone," he said. "It was tough in the beginning and it was tough to get back out there because you can't really date while the show is going on. Once the show was over I could kind of explore the dating world in real life is a different universe to dating on TV."

Also rumored to be the next Bachelor? J.T. Torregiani.
