Colton Underwood is gay, that’s the breaking news coming from Twitter. The devoutly religious former NFL player turned Bachelor star, who has recently been the subject of public controversy because of a restraining order filed by his ex-girlfriend Cassie Randolph from the series, sat down for a Good Morning America interview to come out as gay:

“I’m the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever been in my life,” he told anchor Robin Roberts.

Why did he agree to be the Bachelor if he wasn’t sure? Had to have known he would be scrutinized… #Bachelor #bachelorinparadise
