It took some time for Jordan to warm up on The Golden Bachelorette, as he was incredibly nervous and fumbled his words on Night 1.

Joan, however, understood how strange it can be to date someone on-camera, and so she supported and reassured the bachelor.

As Jordan and Joan continue to get to know each other on the show, they've learned that they have family values in common, and Joan has gushed about how Jordan is a handsome and cool guy.

In fact, Joan told the bachelor that he looked "athletic, super fit and super good" during a barbecue at The Golden Bachelorette mansion.

Chemistry has started to bloom for the pair, but Jordan is patiently waiting for a one-on-one date so that he can have some quality alone time with The Golden Bachelorette star and dive deeper into their relationship.

Until The Golden Bachelorette fans can watch more of Jordan and Joan's love story unfold on the show, let's learn more details about this standout senior bachelor right now.

Below is a list of seven facts Reality TV World has compiled about The Golden Bachelorette bachelor Jordan Heller.


Jordan says he was "a super late bloomer" in life

 
Jordan wrestled in high school but he was only 98 pounds at the time.
