Earlier today Good Morning America announced that Matt James would be making Bachelor history by becoming the first black Bachelor. 28 year old, Matt James is already social media famous thanks to being best friend to Bachelorette star, Tyler Cameron (Hannah’s season). He has been seen spending lots of time with Tyler and even Hannah in the past couple months.
Matt was originally cast to be one of the men fighting for the heart of Clare Crawley but after a petition of over 84, 000 signatures and pressure from former bachelorette Rachel Lindsay the show decided it was time to make Matt James the new Bachelor.
Matt works in real estate but his true passion is ABC Food Tours. Founded by Matt, ABC Food Tours takes kids in underserved NYC communities on tours of restaurants around the city to educate, motivate, and inspire them. Matt says, “My favorite part of running ABC is working with kids! They’re at an age where they’re super impressionable. No one is born racist or rude—these are all traits that are acquired through influence and experience. If you can positively influence these students at this age, you can potentially change the course of their lives. Also, I love seeing our students try new foods!”
