Time for a change!
We have known for a while now that Chris Harrison was stepping back from his role of hosting The Bachelor‘s After The Final Rose — at least for this season, that is — and he’d instead be handing off the reins for the time being.
But we didn’t know who would actually be the replacement! Until now!
