Colton has a bright smile and is easy on the eyes, according to Becca, but the Bachelorette was also attracted to his personality, morals and goals in life.
However, Colton and Becca had to overcome a big hurdle this season in that he had dated her close friend Tia Booth from Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s season of The Bachelor -- a brief romance that made Becca initially feel sick to her stomach.
But after Tia assured Becca that Colton is a great guy and nothing serious happened between them, Becca decided to pursue Colton whole-heartedly and release her inhibitions. Ever since then, Becca seems to view Colton as a frontrunner for her heart.
Until we can watch more of Becca and Colton's love story unfold on The Bachelorette, let's learn more about him.
