Dylan Barbour Wants to Find 'Mr. Right' for Mom — and Bachelor Nation Has Ideas
There's nothing wrong with being a mama's boy, and Dylan Barbour is embracing that.
The "Bachelor in Paradise" Season 6 alum took to Instagram earlier this week to announce his new project: finding a "suitor" for his mom.
Dylan posted a slideshow of photos of his mom in different exotic locations around the world, such as in front of the Taj Mahal and on a boat with a wine glass in hand.
He began his caption, "My mom has been there for each of her three sons through all the relationship issues. The break ups, the make ups, and everything in between. She even powered through flying down to Mexico to meet her future daughter in law without even knowing her prior + it wasn’t aired (commitment amiright?)"
Dylan called his venture a "movement (with Momma Barbour’s approval)."
He wrote, "It’s now our turn to support her. This is my (our) notice to the world that #DateDylansMom is now in full effect!!! We’re on the lookout for Mr. Right."

However, Dylan put one major "restriction" in place: Tyler Cameron "is banned from participating."
Leave it to Bachelor Nation and Dylan’s pals from "The Bachelorette" and "Paradise" to offer up some stellar ideas. Since Tyler can’t vie for Momma Barbour's heart himself, he threw another name in the ring: his dad. Tyler commented, "Since im out of the race maybe we can set her up with pops. Could you imagine all of the fun activities. We can make bunk beds and be step brothers. I'm to big for top bunk so im already calling bottom."
Tyler's mom Andrea passed away on March 2 due to a brain aneurysm, and Dylan's father died from cancer in 2018.
One fan commented, "Let’s get a season of Bach w Dylan’s mom as the lead. And never use her name. Simply call her 'Dylan’s mom' the whole time. And instead of CH doing the roses, let Dylan do that part."

John Paul Jones, who appeared on the same seasons of "Bachelorette" and "Paradise" as Dylan, commented by tagging Chris Bukowski's name.
Chris himself commented, writing, "This is getting out of hand.. but hey 👋🏻"
Chris' friends, as well as producers, trolled him nonstop on Season 6 of "Paradise" thanks to his many, many appearances on "Bachelor" shows. Could this be his happily ever after?
Dylan's call for suitors for his mom comes just under a year after his engagement to Hannah Godwin, his "Paradise" love, and three months after their "Bachelor"-filled engagement party.
Will Dylan find his mom someone worthy of accepting her rose? We can't wait to find out!
