A new online rumor has surfaced claiming that Jason Tartick is being considered as the lead for Season 30 of The Bachelor when the show returns in 2026. It was confirmed on June 30 that the dating show had been renewed, leading to speculation about who would be the next lucky guy looking for love.

Since there was no new season of The Bachelorette in 2025, there won’t be an obvious pool of guys to choose from (usually, the next lead is selected from one of the previous Bachelorette cast members). Reports have even claimed that ABC might change things up and choose a guy from outside of Bachelor Nation.
