Although Brendan Scanzano made it far in the competition for Katie Thurston’s final rose on “The Bachelorette” Season 17, he remained a mystery to many viewers.

The handsome contestant made a recent appearance on the “Talking It Out” podcast, where he opened up to co-hosts Mike Johnson and Bryan Abasolo about his mixed race and nontraditional upbringing in Toronto — all of which took place long before he pursued love on reality TV.
