Meet Zach Shallcross—New 'Bachelor' Star's Age, Job and Dating History

The new star of The Bachelor has been confirmed, following a very dramatic end to Season 19 of The Bachelorette.

Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey's season of the ABC dating show came to an end on September 20 after weeks of action-packed ups and downs.

During the live finale, hosted by Jesse Palmer, it was confirmed that Zach Shallcross—who appeared on The Bachelorette as a love interest for Rachel—would be the next star of The Bachelor.

The Bachelor is set to return to screens in 2023 for Season 27, and we now know that Zach will be the leading man looking for his perfect match.

The next season may be a few months away but while we wait for the show to return, Newsweek has everything you need to know about the new Bachelor Zach Shallcross.

What is The Bachelor's Zach Shallcross' Age?

Zach is 26 years old. He was born on July 31, 1996.

What is The Bachelor's Zach Shallcross' Job?

Zach is a tech executive from Anaheim Hills, California, but he currently splits his time between Texas and Orange County.

According to ABC's website he is an "old-fashioned romantic" who has "a huge heart that he is so ready to share forever with the right woman."

Zach is close with his family and The Bachelorette fans know that his uncle is actor Patrick Warburton, as the Family Guy star appeared on the show during the hometown visits.

The Bachelor's Zach Shallcross' Dating History

Zach's most recent love interest was, of course, The Bachelorette's Rachel Recchia.

He made it all the way to the final with Rachel and seemed to be one of the most promising men pursuing her until things fell apart in the Fantasy Suites.

In dramatic scenes, Zach told Rachel that he was leaving the competition after a conversation during their night in the suites together had made him realize they weren't right for each other.

This came after Zach had explained to the cameras that the trouble started when Rachel had questioned him on whether he was old enough to commit to an engagement.

"Rachel's concern came out of nowhere," Zach, who was 25 at the time, said. "That scares me. That scares me a lot."

He later said that what he was "seeing wasn't the real Rachel," adding: "She was, in my mind, the future Mrs. Shallcross. I thought maybe that I meant more, but I guess I didn't."

Zach's season of The Bachelor won't premiere until January 23, 2023 on ABC but fans have already got a sneak peek at what to expect.

During The Bachelorette's three-hour finale Shallcross was surprised with five women who will be competing on his season.

Bailey Brown, Brianna Thorbourne, Brooklyn Willie, Catherine "Cat" Wong and Christina Mandrell Dennis were able to get a head start on love as they attempted to charm Zach —and the public watching at home.

For the first time in the franchise's history, viewers were able to vote for who should receive "America's First Impression" rose.

The votes were cast on Twitter and the honor ultimately went to Brianna, meaning she will be safe from elimination on the first episode of The Bachelor Season 27.

The Bachelor will return to ABC in January 2023.
