Clayton was officially announced as The Bachelor star for Season 26 in late November.
One day after ABC's big announcement of Clayton's casting, the former pro football player from Missouri revealed on Good Morning America that he had definitely found love during his season.
And Clayton insisted on The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose for Michelle Young's season that he went into The Bachelor season with pure intentions and a genuine desire to find The One.
"Give me that shot," Clayton pleaded with home viewers, given he wasn't exactly the popular choice to lead The Bachelor in 2022. "I don't know all the reasons why I was chosen, but I can say that I think the producers saw me as someone who really was wanting to find love."
ABC initially released a cast of 33 potential bachelorettes for The Bachelor 26 back in late September, and the network just revealed its final set of 31 women in mid-December 2021.
Could Susie end up winning Clayton's heart, and does she have what it takes to be the person Clayton has been searching for?
