Who is Ivan Hall, the leading candidate for this season's "Bachelorette"?
Spoilers for this season of The Bachelorette. In case you missed it, this is the season of the two Bachelorettes: Claire Crawley left the show early to be with one of the contestants, and Taysia Adams ended her season (opens in new tab). Now, speculation is rampant as to which contestant Adams will choose as the winner, but one that we already know is important is Ivan Hall (opens in new tab). He is close to his family and has a cool job that makes him stand out from the other contestants. Apparently, intelligence and ambition are a big draw for him, as are Adams (and Crowley.) This is all we know about the 28-year-old engineer from Texas and how far he can go in the season after Crawley leaves.
Hall lives in Dallas, Texas, but grew up in Plano, Texas, and was born in Chicago, Illinois. His favorite sports team (open in new tab) is either Chicago or Dallas; according to LinkedIn (open in new tab), he is an engineer for Lockheed Martin and holds a B.S. from Texas Tech University.
His ABC bio (opens in new tab) literally says he "builds jets for the US military." His Insta bio also says he is an "investor." He wants to own his own exotic car rental company one day, and his Insta highlights include vintage cars. Oh, and exercise: he's super into working out.
Hall's Instagram is filled with family members, including his father and brother (he also describes himself as a "middle child," so he may have two siblings):
According to his bio, he apparently talks to his mother daily and her Filipino food He seems to love it (swipe to see a photo of him and his family).
And we will probably see more of his family, because...
Spoiler ready: Hall makes it to the final four of Tasia Adams, but doesn't win (final winner Zach Clark didn't exactly win either - the two never got engaged). Hall, however, makes hometown. This season he makes a hometown set in a vintage Airstream, so guess what happens: he is sent home somewhere between introducing Adams to his family and proposing to her.
