Juan Pablo Galavis is a former professional soccer player and television personality, best known for being the lead on "The Bachelor" Season 18 in 2014. He was the first Latino Bachelor in the franchise’s history and gained notoriety for his controversial and often insensitive behavior on the show.

His season ended with him choosing Nikki Ferrell but not proposing, which led to further backlash. Since then, he has largely stayed out of the public eye, though he occasionally comments on The Bachelor franchise.
