Josh Murray will be gracing The Bachelor franchise with his presence once again on the third edition of Bachelor in Paradise.

Josh, 31, first competed on The Bachelorette starring Andi Dorfman, when he defeated runner-up Nick Viall and won her heart.
Although they appeared madly in love, it was only a matter of months later Andi and Josh broke up and called off their engagement. She later called Josh out in her It's Not Okay memoir for being controlling and verbally-abusive among other unflattering accusations.
Josh, however, took the high road and never really said anything bad about Andi to the media.
Josh will now look for love on Bachelor in Paradise, and according to previews, he gets involved in a love triangle with Nick -- his arch nemesis -- and the beautiful Amanda Stanton. Who will prevail, and could Josh finally find his happily ever after?
