Viewers will likely have to wait until next year to watch Taylor Frankie Paul search for love on the new season of “The Bachelorette.” However, fans just got a first look at her potential suitors after the show’s Facebook page shared photos of the 26 eligible bachelors hoping to win her heart.
According to Cosmopolitan, one of the eligible suitors is 35-year-old Clayton Johnson, a talented country singer who happens to be Lana Del Rey’s
As the outlet reported, Johnson and Del Rey met on a dating app in the summer of 2020 and had a whirlwind romance, getting engaged that December. The Mirror reported that
It’ll be interesting to see Johnson now vying for Paul’s attention, and whether he’ll bring up the fact that he was once engaged to a pop star.
As for Paul’s other suitors, they come from all parts of the U.S. and include four men who hail from Utah.
Clayton Johnson Worked with Del Rey After Their Split
A musician based in Nashville, Tennessee, Clayton Johnson shared in July 2024 that he had worked with Del Rey on her music, despite the two going their separate ways. Johnson revealed that he helped write her song, “Tough,” featuring Quavo.
In an Instagram post, Johnson shared the voice notes for the song, and he could be heard singing what would become the intro to Del Rey’s tune. A third photo showed the songstress in the studio.
“Back in January, Lana and I sat in Nashville free styling songs on an acoustic guitar about imaginary animals and Oliver’s chew toys. I showed her a few songs I had been working on, and played her a song idea from a different session,” he captioned his post.
He continued, “She had a vision for it. Her and Jack gave me a call when she got home and asked if we could rework this voice note idea that I sent over for “Tough.” The rest is history. Thank you to the other original writers that carved this thing out together in Nashville, and thank you to Quavo, Jack, Cirkut, Andrew, and especially Lana for having the vision to take this voice note and turn it into something special. TOUGH out now.”
Looking at Johnson’s Instagram, he released his first EP, “Live to Learn,” in May, and performs across the U.S. If he makes it far on “The Bachelorette,” will fans get to see him serenade Paul?
Jeremy Simon Helps Bailey Brown Raise Funds for Cancer Research in Honor of Her Dad
Sending love.
Bachelor Nation got to know Bailey Taylor Brown on Season 29 of “The Bachelor” and again on Season 10 of “Bachelor in Paradise,” where she found love with Jeremy Simon.
Since then, the two have been supporting each other and keeping followers updated with their lives online.
Bailey has previously shared online about how she lost her dad, Anthony Brown, to pancreatic cancer in 2022.
And now she and Jeremy are partnering up to raise funds for cancer research in honor of her father.
In a new video online, Bailey shared, “This week marks three years since losing my dad to pancreatic cancer on October 20th of 2022. We are so honored to be able to create a Purple Stride team in his honor and to keep his memory alive.”
Jeremy chimed in and shared when their team will be walking, as well as how to join.
He said, “We are going to be walking on April 25th in Purple Stride. Feel free to join us. Even if you can’t join us, we really encourage you guys to do the walk in your own city. If you do want to join us, though, there will be a link in our bios.”
Bailey then expressed their team’s fundraising goal and why this event means so much to her.
“My goal for our team is to be able to raise $5,380 if we can this week. If not, for sure before Purple Stride,” she shared. “My dad fought cancer from diagnosis to passing for 538 days, and anything I can do to spread awareness for pancreatic cancer, keep his memory alive, and continue to raise funds for research. Anything helps and yeah, we appreciate it.”
Jeremy added, “Thank you, guys!” and followers filled the comments with purple hearts to show their love for this special event.
We are so proud of Bailey for everything she does to honor her dad and help raise funds for cancer research. We continue to send love to her and her family, and we know Bailey sharing her story will help others going through a similar journey.
