The historic season of The Bachelor started by helping us get to know the man of the hour: Matt James. In addition to feeling the pressure of being the first Black bachelor, James also revealed that he's feeling the rush to have children. He told People: "I think the grandkid counter for my mom started when the [Bachelor] announcement was made. She wants a basketball team. I'll have a minivan, as many as we can fit." Once we found out more about his past and what he's looking for, the audience also learned that his initials matched one of the contestant's.
MJ Snyder hails from Hudson, Ohio and is 23, Glamour reports. If her gorgeous curly blonde locks weren't enough of a distinguisher, you'll likely remember the beauty expert's calling to "make the world a more beautiful place," as per her ABC bio. MJ considers herself social and wants to settle down with a man who lets her maintain her independence and won't add drama to her life.
