How Your Favorite Bachelor Nation Stars Are Spending Their Summer
Most of the country and various parts of the world are under stay-at-home orders, which means people have been forced to get creative with how they cook, homeschool their kids, entertain themselves, and more.
From birthdays to work days, these uncertain times have inspired Bachelor Nation to find imaginative ways to pass the days and nights in quarantine. As social media seems to suggest, it has also offered ample time for bonding with significant others and enjoying plenty of outdoor activities.
Even though we’ve all been cooped up for months, there’s still lots of exciting news from the "Bachelor" world. "The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons — Ever!" premiered, giving us throwbacks to our favorite Bachelors and Bachelorettes, as well as some questionable fashion choices. Plus, babies! Gender reveals! New couples! Puppies! A new Bachelor! Clare as the Bachelorette! And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Check out the list below to see what Bachelor Nation has been up to since quarantine went into effect.
