20 Questions with Rodney: Find Out His Favorite Part of Being on ‘The Bachelorette,’ Plus: His Hidden Talent Revealed!
Bachelor Nation was introduced to fan favorite Rodney on Michelle Young’s season of “The Bachelorette.”
Things didn’t end up working out between Rodney and Michelle, but he stopped by the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast and shared what it meant to him to make Bachelor Nation history.
In case you missed it, Michelle’s final four men — Rodney, Nayte, Brandon J., and Joe — were the first final four people of color in Bachelor Nation history.
Rodney spoke about this moment, saying, “Making this kind of history with the Bachelor Nation franchise is really something that is so special to me. I hold it near and dear to my heart. The caliber of guys in that room, I was just honored and blessed to know them and be in the same category as guys like that.”
He continued, “We were happy to be there together. It also just shows how amazing Michelle is to have a final four like that. We were grateful for that moment, and I can’t tell you how proud and happy I was to be a part of it.”
Rodney added that he’s still close with the other men from the top four and talks to them regularly, saying, “I do as many check-ins as I can to make sure we all stay connected because it was a very special chapter in our lives.”
