Not only is Kendal Jenner comfortable with sharing her life in front of the camera, but the reality star and supermodel is also a big fan of The Bachelor franchise. Recently, she and her mom, Kris Jenner, spent time with ABC's first Golden Bachelor, Gerry Turner, on an episode of their Hulu series The Kardashians. "Kendall is a huge Golden Bachelor fan and absolutely obsessed with Gerry," Kris said. "She is beyond, beyond glued to the TV when it comes on."

Former Bachelor star Abigail Heringer once revealed during an Instagram Q&A that Bella Hadid told her she loved her during a night out in Las Vegas. “My jaw dropped, and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I love you more.’ I asked for a picture with her," Heringer said.
With that bit of knowledge, Hadid would make the perfect Bachelorette for an all-celebrity season.

Actor Bradley Cooper ran into Golden Bachelor contestant Susan Noles in 2024 and seemed genuinely happy to meet her. The pair posed for photos, and Noles shared one of Cooper hugging her. The Sex and the City actor's good looks already make him a prime candidate, but his being a fan of the show makes it even better.

Even if Brody Jenner isn't a fan of The Bachelor, he'd still be a perfect fit to be the show's leading man. Plus, his experience filming scenes with his famous sisters on Keeping Up With the Kardashians should help, too!

Ryan Seacrest is used to hosting the show, but we're willing to bet he'd be fine living his life in front of the camera, too. After the Wheel of Fortune host split with partner Aubrey Paige in 2024, a spot as The Bachelor could be the move.

We don't even have to explain this one. "I think it would be really fun to be the bachelor," John Mayer told Ellen before saying the producers would have to change the way they vet contestants.

Zac Efron once revealed he didn't go on many dates, so seeing him on The Bachelor could be the right first step in finding this High School Musical alum's special someone. Plus, we selfishly believe seeing the chaos come from competing for his attention would be great television.

Give us Brad Pitt on The Bachelor any time, any day. He's already living that life and spoke about it during a previous interview with Extra, where he shared details about his bachelor pad in Carmel, California.

Michael B. Jordan wasn't named the "Sexiest Man Alive" for no reason. The Creed actor would surely make an entertaining bachelor and have the entire mansion swooning before the first rose ceremony.

Sabrina Carpenter took over the pop culture zeitgeist in 2024 with her wildly popular singles "Espresso" and "Please, Please, Please." Since then, she's become a mega-popular superstar, taking over the VMAs and Grammy Award show stages. Her success would surely follow her on The Bachelorette, as she'd likely bring a mix of charm and confidence that people can't seem to get enough of to the small screen.

Tate McRae has already been involved in public relationship drama in the past after cheating rumors about her ex-boyfriend, NHL player Cole Sillinger, broke the internet. Since then, the Candian singer has released epic projects featuring singles like "greedy" and "exes." If she's bringing that flare to the Bachelor stage, we think she'd be a stellar casting choice. Too bad she's in a relationship with The Kid Laroi.

People can't stop talking about Benson Boone, especially after his single "Beautiful Things" took over the charts and summer playlists. Since then, he's become increasingly more popular, garnering attention from all directions thanks to his social media posts and live performances. With his soothing voice, special charm, good looks, and growing fanbase, we think he'd be perfect for The Bachelor.

Giveon sings all about love on his albums, so it's only fair to assume he's ready to give it. Based on the R&B singer's moving lyrics alone, we say he'd make a great bachelor. However, his sharp looks also come to his defense.

Dua Lipa is familiar with The Bachelorette stage since she performed on the show in 2016. With that, maybe the "Houdini" singer would make a return to pass out the roses herself. It's a show we'd tune in for the soundtracks, performances, and drama.

Miley Cyrus' star power doesn't go unnoticed. Ever since the singer's "Flowers" era began, she's given the world something different that we can't get enough of. Her energy lately, which has been showcased during interviews and at the Grammys, would be perfect to lead a show like The Bachelor, which is why we need this spin-off in development immediately.

Like Miley, Megan Thee Stallion's energy is infectious, and her attempting to find love on the Bachelor stage would be quite entertaining.

Cardi B has spoken about not being able to find what she's looking for in a partner in today's dating market. Still, we're certain ABC producers could cast some quality individuals for the rapper's special season of the popular franchise. She's a meme queen, legendary television personality, and outspoken icon who would bring humor and drama and likely an unbelievable number of viewers to the show.

Jennifer Lopez's special someone is out there somewhere. Although the chances of finding them on The Bachelor are low, it's a production we selfishly want to see because there's zero chance the drama doesn't reach blockbuster levels with her at the center.

Timothée Chalamet as the lead of The Bachelor is what we (and everyone else) really want to see. The actor's rising star power and good looks have placed him at the center of many conversations over the last few years, and this would have people tuned in for every episode, eager to see who would win his heart.
