The timing is just so perfect in my life. I could not be more excited for this journey I’m about to embark on.” This won’t be the first time Luyendyk Jr. attempted to find love on national television. Besides building a career as a professional auto racing driver turned real estate agent, Luyendyk Jr. is best known as the runner-up on Maynard‘s season of The Bachelorette. “I’m not nervous,” he admitted. “Now that I’ve had some time and distance away from it, it feels like the feeling I had before I went into it the first time. I think sometimes when you’re on The Bachelorette and you jump right into being the Bachelor, for me it would’ve been too soon. This feels more natural. I’m not concerned what people think. I’m just focused on the outcome. I want to find my person and will do whatever it takes!” Watch ‘s Luyendyk Jr.’s new season of The Bachelor this January on ABC.
